It's Easier When You Stop Caring

When I told a single friend about my disastrous exploits in the dating world, she said it could be fun if you don't take it seriously. I realized that, although I liked the feeling of the possibility of a relationship that I experienced with the last two men, I now know that burdening someone with what I am going through right now would not be fair to them, so a relationship is out of the question.

But I can still be friends, and just date,  as my friend had said. The realization that I could date now since I don't care anymore about what happens seems even better, especially since there are a number of men, including one that I've been talking with recently, who would prefer a no strings attached relationship.

Imagine the freedom of that, particularly in light of my current situation! No strings means I don't have to tell them about my problems, and when things in my life get serious, I can just move on. I would bet that the other men I had met would have preferred that to the possibility of getting involved with someone with these types of issues, right? No strings attach - allows me to just float away.
