Brian - It's good to hear from you.

I wanted to thank you again for getting me to "Spring Awakening" at the Balboa. It's still one of my most amazing theater experiences.

YAY! welcome back to the LJ-verse :-)

And because of playing on the trackpad at your house, i went and got one for myself today. I like it so far. Only thing I miss is being able to open webpage links in a new tab like you can with a mouse (on a mouse, you just middle-click, or click with the wheel button, and it will open the link in a new tab). everything else about the trackpad is awesome, tho.

Thanks for writing about that conflicting feeling when it comes to dating. I'm glad it isn't just me. Like you, I enjoy the company of the guys I date, and I'm glad they want to spend time with me. But I also run into that feeling of having some difficulty balancing out the need I have for time to do solitary pursuits and spend time with people I'm not dating, and a desire to fairly give my time to somebody who is making a real effort to sustain a romantic involvement. Sometimes that's a real conflict, no matter how great the guy is. I don't have an easy answer, either, but I take comfort in knowing I'm not the only one who has this conflict.

One word: Boundaries.

A common issue in new relationships of any dynamic (romantic, friendship, employment) is people having unrealistic expectations because they project how they behave on to others. The guy you're dating might be one who shifts most of his energy to romantic relationships so he assumes his BF should do the same. You sound like the opposite. This doesn't mean it can't work, but both of you have to communicate your expectations instead of assuming the other knows what they are. At least that's what has worked for me.

I used to think of it as the sealed system effect ( ... )
