Happy Valentine's Day 2019

Valentine's Day 2019 - Usually, as my long term MyLot connections know - I bombard MyLot with my woes, complaints, and etc about romance generally speaking - usually for a week surrounding the "holiday". To be honest Valentine's Day and I don't see eye to eye. Never in my adult history have I had someone special on this holiday. Most of the time I've been single. And those times where I was in a relationship it either wasn't a big deal to him - or we were taking a break from each other. Don't get me wrong, I'm happily single. And, as some smart person recently reminded me, it's like, 1,000 times better to be single than to be in the wrong relationship. Though, I do wish on occasion I was special to someone. Or not. To be honest I don't know that many couples that are happy. I know it's unrealistic to be 100% thrilled with someone else all of the time. But still unhappy couples or people who say they are "just staying together for the sake of the kids" are in high percentages in the people I know. Of course I would like to believe that relationships are like a best friend where you help each other be your best. But I think in reality there is a lot of compromise in there. And to be honest a lot of the time it seems like it's one person doing all of the compromising. I do hope that those of you who are couples on here are happy with the person and it's a good relationship, and knowing that there are challenges to a relationship - maybe it's not so bad that you couples have your own day. ;-) Now, just because I think I promised @xander6464 I'd talk about it - I will tell you about weird encounters I had. So it's a well known fact that I draw the weirdest types to myself. Like the guy who, though he was in his upper 40s at the time, saw fit to call and and relate all of his health woes - starting at childhood on me. We got to the point where this guy - even though he was a grown man - reverted back into "creepy-little-boy-voice" as he was telling me that his momma brung him his peewoah (pillow) from home because he was scareded by being in the hos'pit'all. or something like that. Don't get me wrong, a kid can talk that way - but this is a grown man who was in the process of asking me out. I could envision him calling me everytime he fell down, or had a headache, or smacked himself with a hammer with that creepy little boy voice something like - "Faye....Faye?..... I hurted my thumb with the ham'are.... come bwing me a bind-aid .... " .... yeah. no. So I stopped him, thanked him for his story and told him I had go. Or the guy, who while I was walking at a popular local walking path took it on himself to enlighten me within minutes of meeting me (mind you I was minding my own business, not trying to interact) that wanted to move in with me and use my car. - seriously, the whole thing went down - he asked me if I lived in the area, and if I knew where XYZ was, he was new to the area and living on a friend's couch, but him and the friend weren't getting along....and boy I sure looked like a nice lady, and see - he's down on his luck and looking to move in with a woman, preferring someone who had their own car so he could use that and someone without roomates so, more room for him.. and.... hey wait a minute. Do I live on my own? Do I have a car? I sure am pretty, and I look like someone he would like to move in with..... uhuh. right. Actually there was a second one like that too - but I'm almost discounting him because he wasn't acting entirely all there either. That one was at a casino here. The casinos here - smoking indoor is legal - so this guy walks up and asks me if I have a cigarette. I told him I didn't. That I don't smoke. He looked at me like I had grown antennae and stumbled out the door, seemingly in shock. Well that was weird enough, since, I mean - yeah - some people don't smoke. It's not that shocking. But whatever. Later he follows me around the casino, telling me what a stud he is, saying that his girlfriend kicked him out and now he needs to live with someone else - and that lucky woman sure wouldn't regret it because.... did he tell me yet what a stud he is? How lucky any woman would be to have him living with them , wait - do I live locally? Why.... that could work ... because his best friend's sister's girlfriend's cousin told him back in 1999 that he was the hottest man she'd ever seen and I would just be so lucky to be living with this hot stud man who needs a home, because his girlfriend kicked him out.... SO yeah. It's true. I seem to attract the oddest types. There's probably something as to why it is - but I don't know why. People say that we draw to us what we think of , but I'm sure not thinking of shady weirdos who want to move in instantly. In fact I need the opposite - people who "get" that I'm an introvert and need space. So that's my rant for this year.... happy valentine's day to the happy couples on here - to the unhappy , it is none of my business but I hope that those not happy in their relationship find help or therapy or even move on, and to the other singles - let's all go party on the 15th when chocolate is 1/2 off :-D And now, because it seems appropriate - this video on how you can tell if you're like Tina Belcher. Oh look, theres only 4 things where we don't match lol
