On Ex's and Relationships

I slept the entire day today. I was hoping to get a lot of things accomplished but that didn’t happen.
The topic of the conversation today is what happens when you come face to face or face to picture with the person that is currently dating your ex or was the last person that your ex was seeing.
Well today I was randomly checking my facebook like I always do and I decided to follow the tips that some of my friends had been giving me and I came across through deduction and a vary obvious picture, the girl that he has been talking to.
I can’t be upset about it because we haven’t talked in a very long time, at least not in that fashion. But it is very interesting that she is nothing like me.
When I say nothing like me, I do mean nothing. The only thing that we have in common is our skin tone. So maybe he just has a thing for dark-skinned girls.
I don’t know it just reminded me of all the doors that I need to be closing before school starts. I know that my destiny is not to be alone, but I am reminded of what one of my students said to me this summer. She said that a relative of hers told her that because she was so independent that she was going to be rich and live in a large house all by herself. This is not the future that I see for myself, but I have begun to wonder if there will ever be anyone that can meet the requirements that I have set forth.
Whenever I find someone that meets even a ¼ of what I require and I decided to forgive the rests they show just how important the rest is… and I find myself wishing that I had held out just a little longer.
The rest of the world will probably agree with me when I say that there is nothing pleasant about trying to make an impossible situation work.
So I have given up…… My new philosophy is that I am not looking for a relationship…. I would like to go out but I refuse to commit unless he asks and he meets all the requirements that I set aside.
NO RELATIONSHIPS ONLY FRIENDSHIPS!!!!
Men do it all the time and maybe they have the right idea….
Well until I feel the need to vent again……
