I've been told that my lovelife is complicated.

Really?
A three year relationship w/ my first g/f that ended on a really bad point. Four to five some-odd years enjoying the single life after that.

Not too complicated right?
Eh. The complicated part's when life decides to offer me a chance to change my single status.

"When it rains, it pours."

That's what a good friend tells me when he looks at my past situations. I guess it works. Life never introduces one potential interest to me. You know, the one that stops the whole world for me, makes my knees weak, makes my heart skips a beat, gives me a hard-on, all that good stuff.
No. Life is a very interesting entity that likes to use me as it's personal plaything. Always multiple interests directed towards me. Like Prom my Junior year in high school where I decided not to go because no one wanted me to take them an' I wanted to save up some cash to go skydiving. Stupid me, supposedly there were 7 ladies that wanted me to go w/ them that night. Great that I hear 'bout that AFTER prom was over. Up that number to 10 for my senior year.

So how come Reggie was still single entering college? I've got a bunch excuses. But it all boils down to me runnin' away an' hiding in a corner not wanting to deal w/ relationships. I also didn't want to cause pain to the others by deciding on one. Figured I'd rather deal w/ it.
Fast forward to this year. Spring Semester. Life decides to stir up a storm again. This time I ended up changing my single status an' am now happily involved in a realtionship. Just don't tell my parents. =P [Future post]

What's the point of this post? Well, after making my decision I've found that there's now alot of hostility an' resentment bein' given to me because of my choice. The following is what I've told a couple people so far. If you feel that you find yourself lying under this category please choose the words that best fit for your situation.

I'm glad that you've decided to tell me how you're feeling regarding my choice while you're [drunk/high/over the phone where we can't talk face to face/behind my back while you're walking away from me/via e-mail] because I truly like to have everything out in the open when it deals w/ me. Now I'm hoping the reason you're telling me this while you're [drunk/high/over the phone where we can't talk face to face/behind my back while you're walking away from me/via e-mail] is because you were too polite to tell me in person. I understand that you're probably telling me this out of the great deal of [love/care] you have towards your [friend/sister/niece/cousin/daughter/co-worker] and I respect that. Your [friend/sister/niece/cousin/daughter/co-worker] is a genuinely great person that will eventually make some lucky person happy for the rest of their lives. That person is not me though. If the world were diffrent, or things went the other way, maybe that wouldn't be true. But it is. Unless you want me seein' both your [friend/sister/niece/cousin/daughter/co-worker] an' my loved one at the same time. I wouldn't like to see that happen an' I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to see that happen. I've caused enough pain, which is why you're holdin' such a strong grudge against me. I don't want to cause more because I never intended to in the first place. If you don't think I feel bad. I do. I only wish the best of things for her. This is just the way things work out I guess. If feeling anger towards me an' leavin' me threatening e-mails, giving me dirty glares, and/or constantly reminding me of how great a person your [friend/sister/niece/cousin/daughter/co-worker] is an' how much I'm missin' out on makes you feel better than please continue to do so. I've said what I've wanted to say.

So yea. Scented candles, good fun.
