Relationships

Wow. Big topic i have picked for today. Well, some stuff that has been happening recently has made me think about the way i view the relationships i have. I used to think that there was one person for everyone and obviously that i had found my "one". Since then things have changed and i have started thinking that maybe we need to interact with lots of people, in order to enrich ours lives fully. Maybe wishful thinking but hey it gives me hope and that's all you need really.

I have been reading a self - help book that my sister lent me (groan) and it says that people who have backgrounds similar to mine, tend to go for a man that they look after and do everything for or people that they think they need to try to "fix" emotionally. Well i am not sure about self - help books in general but this one made a bit of sense and kind of fitted in to the men i have chosen in the past and the men i am attracted to now too.

It is hard for me to meet people as i am in a lot looking after my little one, so i rely on the Internet and meeting people in random places like the supermarket etc. And as you know on the Internet it is easy to lie and make yourself out to be better than you are. As i am naturally suspicious and don't really have much self esteem i tend to be a bit wary of believing people i meet on the Internet.

I haven't had a lot of luck with dating websites and have all but given up on them as they are expensive too. So given all of this and bearing it in mind i have decided that i need to change the way i am with relationships. I tend to put all of myself into most that i have. Whether they are friendship or romance and i tend to end up looking like a bit of a bugaboo ! So i am going to try instead to take each one at face value and let it develop naturally.

I hope my new strategy works and i can find my new "Prince Charming". In the meantime (and i may be getting my Fairy Tales mixed up) i will kiss a few more frogs and see if they turn into princes.
