Love is a crazy emotion. I often find myself in situations where I am the one being loved but don't have the love to return. It makes me act awkward and strange around the person whom I just want to be friends with. The flowers I got tonight were lovely and the sentiment sweet but what part of I just want to be friends is not resonating? Being loved is wonderful but even better when it is reciprocated. I don't think I am in a place where I have love to offer to anyone not even myself most days. Maybe a part of me is holding out for "A" when I return home and see what transpires with that...ugg most of the time I think my life would be complication free if I'm alone.

This blog is not profound or prolific or meant to dazzle you with creative prose. It's just my everyday ramblings about life in Seoul with a myriad of photos and a spattering of deep thoughts for my moms to read when she misses me.

Shells, you don't need to be everybody's friend. You've been clear with that guy and he hasn't respected your boundaries, so cut him off. Any attempt you make at friendship is gonna be misinterpreted by him.
yes..I know.. it's hard to avoid him though given the circumstances. Anyway enough about me..I'm guessing you are bored in the Tokyo airport?? Have a great trip and watch out for those fish tacos!
You didn't post my comment!
I guess it wasn't sympathetic...
anon - not sure what ur talking about but I didn't get any comments from you other than this one.
My comment never came up. Oh well.
My advice is ignored.
anon did you not read what I wrote..I never got a comment from you other than the one that said you didn't post my comment..so I never received any advice from you
I said bad=basically women sometimes throw away the "nice guy" friends because there is no "chemistry".
Sometimes its good to try something different.
yes I agree - usually the nice guys get left behind because they are "nice" and I am a girl who likes a guy with a bit of a wild streak in him. However with this man, there is just no chance of us having a relationship together other than the friendly kind and no matter how much I express that..he doesn't seem to get it. I'm leaving Korea soon and am not the kind to just have casual relationships with people..I am looking for a serious relationship at this point in my life and I don't think starting something I can't put my heart into because I'll just have to leave the other person in a few months, is worth it to me. Oh well..I have great friends who keep me entertained and for that I'm happy.
It's bullshit to say that women throw away the "nice guy" - everybody is capable of making decisions about who they want to be with. I hope everybody puts stereotypes aside and follows their hearts.
Shelly - you are so awesome, you know what you want, don't EVER settle for the "nice guy" because of anything!
Sometimes you cannot be friends with people (maybe a bummer) and all you can do is say no and cut them off.
RL - I am awesome aren't I? :P haha Don't worry I would never "settle" for anything or anyone. You know me well enough to know what I'm looking for in a man and finding someone who fits that mold will be um virtually impossible but I want what I want.
I miss you can you send me your new addy? xoxo
Maybe a part of me is holding out for "A" when I return home and see what transpires with that.. ???
Anon - A for anon someone I have a history with..and if you are someone I know..not A for the psychotic radio freak that thoughts of make me want to scrub my skin off with bleach
