When Life gets In The Way

When Life gets In The Way


Recently, we have had a number of weekends we have been unavailable do to other commitments. While most of the folks we have been in contact with seem to understand, there are others that assume we are - and I quote - 'just not serious' and my favorite - 'just fuckin' with people'.

For those of you who have read our blog, or talked to us, you should have a sense we actually are real. We want to meet folks, find the ones we click with, and go from there. What we won't do is just play with people for the sake of playing, we actually have to like folks for the clothes to come off!

P and I were soaking last night in the hot tub and we touched on this. She is adamant we will find what we are looking for, and it will be well worth it. At one point recently we thought we had found a couple, turns out they were only interested in a totally committed relationship - no one else in our lives but them - and they wanted this commitment before we even met them! When we said that wasn't what we were looking for, 'poof' - gone! And, have to say that was OK with us.

Our biggest time commitment is to our family. We value family, and actually want the folks we find to value family as well. Makes them more like us, which will increase our comfort level. We also, know we are going to have one move back in temporarily for a short time in a few months, which will stop us from being able to host most weekends, until we are empty nesters again!

So to the folks that are upset we can't/won't meet and play on a moment's notice - we are probably not a good fit. And that's OK with us, and should be for you as well.

What attracted us to this lifestyle is the fact that we can set our own rules, just as everyone else we have talked to has. We can decide what we like, what pace we will move at, and what we will and won't do. We know that everyone else has their own set of rules they live/play by, and if ours and theirs mesh we have a possible connection that we can explore.

So it comes down to this: We believe everyone has something special and unique to offer, just as we do. We believe that respect for each other is crucial, and not only do we try to make certain we respect the rules folks have that we have contact with, it is an expectation that we receive respect for ours as well.

P asked this question last night, and I am asking it of you: Are we asking/expecting too much of folks? What do you think?

We talked to some folks and at times its like they are looking too marry us in stead of going out and having fun. The commitment line you talked about we have seen that too, it would be nice to have steady friends(fwb) that you can trust so no STD's will pop up. we always play safe cause you never know where the guy dipped his wick last night.

Are you asking to much? I do not think so. As a single guy I have had a hard time balancing my schedule. You know what you want and more importantly what you need. There are people out there it just takes meeting them. Most times the time you spend looking for a quality couple or person is rewarded in the end. Myself I use the 3 strike rule for meeting. You get three cancellations then I know you are not serous about meeting.
