Confessions of a Drama Junkie

So it has been a couple of weeks since I last blogged. . .Now without offering excuses I have been really busy collecting new stuff to blog about. So think of the last few weeks as research. In the last few weeks my nomadic romantic life has become somewhat more sedentary. . .with a new boyfriend in tow I have made the rounds to many social events as one half of a couple.

It is odd all of the sudden being launched back into couplehood and part of me craves the more recent unsettled past or perhaps I just miss the drama and the thrill of the hunt?

The new boy, "E", is great don't get me wrong. . .He does everything he is supposed to do and tries really hard. For example, despite initial reservations about my running at ungodly hours of the morning. Now voluntarily and without complaint joins me and my running crew at 6 am for 3 miles a couple of times a week. When asked why someone so opposed to morning would drag his asthmatic body out of bed. . .He says oh I just wanted to spend more time with you. What I don't understand is why I am not knocked off my feet.

My main complaint at this point is that there is just no pulse pumping excitement either good or bad. He is just so darned stable. . .and he just lets me win all the time. For example, the other night I was commenting that I thought I had been spending just a little too much time at his place and that the main problem with doing so is that there was no where for me to work. He instead of taking this personally rationally asks what I needed to work at his place and by the time I came over the next time the things I needed had just appeared. He just accepted the problem was his and fixed it and also said that if I wanted to go home then I was welcome to but that I was also welcome to come and go as I pleased. It was like unconditional surrender without the battle. Does anyone really want to win all the time? It just makes me feel as though I am playing the bully but the kind that is so big that they merely intimidate the smaller kids into compliance by their size.

Hmmm, I know this sort of guy.

He sounds so great in theory, but in practice (unless you actually want to date a doormat) it gets pretty dull pretty quickly.

When you inevitably dump him your friends just won't understand (but I will...)

i'm happy for you and the new boyfriend... as long as you're happy... but yeah i can understand what you mean by the guy being great and sweet and all and yet somehow you don't feel the excitement.

I like him. He buys me alcohol. But yeah, I've been working on this blog idea lately where I can work in the line "The problem with having the personality of a dominatrix is that men constantly want you to tell them what to do."
