Meh

[vvvexation]

So, a flirtation that's been steadily building just came to its long-awaited climax--unfortunately in the wrong way, as he explained he's not poly.

Oddly enough, I feel more blah now than I did half an hour ago. Perhaps the disappointment is just now sinking in.

Ah well. 'S'not like I thought we were soul mates er anything. Nor am I exactly alone and bereft. Tomorrow I'll remember that. For now, I shall console myself with Ben & Jerry's.

I'm sorry. Realizations like that can suck.

Mucho hugs.

Sorry to hear it... *hugs* Disappointments like that just suck.

But hey, on the positive side of things, at least you know it's the poly/mono thing and not anything else. That usually comforts me, in the long run.

Oh, it definitely does. I'd much rather hear "I'm interested, but I'm not poly" than "I'm poly, but I'm not interested." Not only is it much less of a blow to the fragile little ego, but this way I can hold onto the faint hope that he'll change his mind after being exposed to poly a bit more. (Yes, I'm deluding myself, but delusions are surprisingly comforting sometimes--especially when they're in the indefinite future tense so they can never be proved false.)

*self-mocking grin*

Sorry to hear that. Definitely his loss.

Heh. That's pretty much how I feel about anyone who's not bi and poly: "poor you, you're missing out."

(And yeah, I realize you meant that as more of a personal compliment. I'm beginning to think deflecting compliments is my superpower.)

"poor you, you're missing out."

but plenty of us have tried it on and found it didn't fit... The further behind me my poly experiment goes the happier and more content I become... maybe that won't last forever, but hopefully it will.

Bi is still... well I have enough that I don't feel like I'm missing it but I don't want any more.

Ah, but you've at least tried it. I was referring more to those who haven't...and not entirely seriously either. It's sort of a joke of mine.

I'd much rather hear "I'm interested, but I'm not poly" than "I'm poly, but I'm not interested."

how I feel about anyone who's not bi and poly: "poor you, you're missing out."

Am I allowed to giggle about this? If not, I apologize... *giggles*

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

Depends. Am I being mox0red?

[auros]

Possibly teased. But I don't mock people I like. Actually, I don't even mock people I dislike. *g*
