sometimes, one is too many.

Very good point.

Casually, it seems perfectly reasonable; but I doubt it's sustainable if you want to form a serious emotional bond. I felt lucky to be dating one person for most of my life so I can't speak from experience.

Actually, hell, if you're an efficient scheduler you probably have time for a long-distance affair, too.

I am efficient, certainly. But the heavy need for "me" time (because I'm one of those sorts of people--then again, in at least the video game aspect, in some ways I expect you are as well) makes it all very difficult. Although two with emotional bonds seems to be going reasonably well.

This may sort itself out anyway: the newest just told me she's moving to Philly in July.

Which means: Hey! We have our long-distance affair, folks! Unless, of course, you were suggesting something personal with the above comment, in which case we may have two. *eyebrow waggle*

Heh. I slay me.

Do I strike you as without self-interest?

Your point about the "me" time is well taken, though; and unless you expect your lifestyle to change in a way that frees up time, the frustration you feel will likely get worse. The situation might resolve itself, though, if/when some another party decides they are dissatisfied.

From my personal vantage point, it might be worth the hassle to enjoy it while it lasts. Despite my freedom "on paper," I find that-- in practice-- I don't have and miss the absolute freedom to date around. (Not that I'd make the trade, obviously, but I wish I'd taken more advantage of it when I had it.) You could look back on these days wistfully. On the other hand, it might go differently for you, so take that advice with a grain of salt.

Incidentally, even without video games, I need the same exorbitant amounts of "me" time. I just end up spending it reading, or writing, or drinking and listening to music, or...

I've knocked you off what, twice now? But this time I just renamed my journal so you have to do the adding back, if you care.

Aha! Way considerate that you let me know. Thanks!
