Kiss and Run

So in my quest to read more books, I recently read Kiss and Run by Elina Furman. This book was suggested to me by a great friend, to help me understand why girls have commitment issues. First of all, the multiple uses of the word quasi stood out to me, as this is a word my friend who suggested the book to me uses quite often. It basically breaks women with commitment issues down into 7 different catagories:

The Nitpicker - The girl looking for the literally perfect guy, meets every qualification and then some to a T, down to the very last detail.

The Serial Dater - Gets a buzz from quickly jumping from one relationship to another, sometimes multiple relationships at the same time.

The Tinker Bell - Dates inappropriate or unavailable men so they don't have to commit.

The Free Spirit - Can't commit because she's more committed to some other pursuit.

The Damsel in Distress - Guys suck, they're all jerks, I won't deal with them.

The Player - Gets a thrill not from jumping from one relationship to the next, but from jumping from one bed to the next.

The Long Distance Runner - Commits half heartedly into a relationship for an extended period of time before breaking it off, and then jumping into another long term relationship.

Eek, maybe I should just post on my online profile that I want a woman who loves me, whom I find attractive, has at least 2 similar interests, and doesn't have commitment issues, beyond that, there isn't much more I should be looking for...

Books

So I've been playing a lot less video games over the past few months (excluding my Nintendo DS, I'm a Sudoku addict). I thought maybe it was just because of school, but I'm starting to think that they just aren't captivating me the way they used to when I was a child. I mean, my favorite Final Fantasy game was II (IV in Japan), and that was at least 15 Final Fantasy's ago if you count the different series on various platforms. I have however been watching a lot more movies, mostly due to the fact that I have a Blockbuster online membership. I've been feeling a gap lately though, and one of my good friends (who is a bookaholic), has recently perked my interest again in reading. Now, I haven't steadily read any books for enjoyment since high school, so I'm thinking I'm gonna get back into the game of reading. We'll see how that goes...

It's Over!

So, I had a talk with a certain someone the other night, and we are just going to go back to being just friends now, with no possibility of moving past that. I've kinda just been hoping she'd make a decision in one direction or the other, so at least I can put my mind at ease on that topic. I've also prepared myself for a no for the past few weeks, as we haven't really seen each other much, ans she wasn't really making time to try and see me. I think it's good, there's a lot of things I was wanting that just weren't happening, and probably weren't going to happen. I've done this with one friend, although that was much more of a mutual "this isn't going to work" than my most recent relationship. Hopefully the fact that the kiss never happened, and that it never really felt like we were doing more than hanging out as friends, will make it easier to transition back to how it was. I think it's for the best. Now, it's back to the dating rat race!
