My newest research project
I talked to my ex on the phone tonight, for a considerable amount of time. It was rather interesting that we were able to sustain conversation for 1.5 hours sans awkwardness or even a hint of pausing. This led me to make what I think will be a very intelligent decision. From this moment forward, I am only going to date people if I have pre-established friendly relations with them. In other words, I will only date someone if we are friends first. Too often, my interactions with people go from superficial to sexual without even a hint at compatibility. I am done with that! I have spent too many moments questioning my worth, simply because someone whom I had no real connection to in the past, has taken advantage of me. I am fully aware of the problems that this could lead to. Problems leading to the famous, "I don't want to ruin our friendship" and "You're more like a sister to me" (this one has a whole bunch of hidden connotations dealing with incestuous desires, etc.). Lets call this a sort of experiment, an experiment in which we will discover whether or not compatibility is in fact nothing more than friendship with physical attraction. Any hypotheses?
