Hmm... it's been a while since I updated and it's amazing how things seem to change in a matter of weeks... no, well, days.
When I first started this job, people kept telling me, "Don't date military" and "Avoid squatters". No one ever told me why. So when I fell for one, I thought, "It's not so bad - he's sweet and funny, charming and pretty damn good looking." It was honestly fun. But then things changed and I quickly learned what was wrong with dating military. Am I still head-over-heels for this guy? Absolutely... that's not true, either. When I'm not with him, I'm okay. I can flirt with other guys, I can go so far as to see other guys. When I'm with him, though, I forget how angry and hurt I am for the things that have happened since and it's back to square one. It's amazing how charming these guys are to make you fall for them over and over again.
They tell you that you shouldn't date military, but they don't tell you why. I know why now. Do I regret it? Hardly. It's a learning experience, in it's own way, and it was worth it. Is he worth it? That still remains to be answered.
At any rate, though, now, I can play that game too. Now, I do play that game. I don't have their experience, nor their charm, but I can play their game and I'm learning to play it well. Just ask the Brits.
