This time, for the first time, I was embarrassed. As though I'd had too many break_ups. There should be a limit, and once you hit a certain number you're cut off.

Or maybe it was too many at_one_time. My first girlfriend gone after a matter of months, then that fight in Philly, my new lover slipped out of my reach overnight for a monogamous girlfriend, and that last one's silent sloughing off of women. Sometimes it happens that they all fall away.

I'm sorry. It does hurt. I had a similar thing this spring, with a friend not a boyfriend or girlfriend, but still. Last spring was my more (sur)real breakup.
Lesson learned from last year:
Don't fall in love at first sight, or at least not right after the person of your adoration asks you, say, in a cute German accent, whether you've read Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind.
Lessons learned from this year:
Apologizing doesn't work, or at least I suck at it.
Is the second one more applicable or just more solipsistic? And no, I've never read Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind. Let us not kid ourselves.

My 20's were wasted with 3 men who never wanted what I wanted. Somewhere in the middle of it all I ended up with a daughter. She makes dating more difficult, but also less important. I know I'll find someone someday, and I almost take pride in the higher success rates of late marriages. I will know myself next time better than I have ever known myself. And I just know better, in general, from all the mistakes I've made.
I do feel embarrassed about the way I came away with nothing. Seems suspicious for such a 'smart' girl. I just put my eggs in the wrong basket. A mistake that is easy to avoid repeating once you've been burned enough by it.

also, people are cool enough. but i can't help but wonder about one person, who i've known forever but not spoken to in years, and never really hung out with, yet who i think i'd re-get along swimmingly with. i just have a strong feeling. but there are obstacles and whoknowswhat.

part of me regrets it
but people (including myself) tell me if it was meant to last, i wouldn't have had thoughts of ending it
which part of me believes, but another part thinks it might be too soon to tell and also i was tired and not feeling like hanging out with anyone and in a mood and i can be moody
but another part thinks i shouldn't make excuses for what i felt or didn't feel in a moment
he's a good person and there was nothing wrong except things felt a bit off in the moment
which i guess is enough wrong?
(deliberating and thinking too much? why, yes)

he always told me to be honest if i ever felt like i didn't want to be with him anymore
all it took were some strategically placed nasty words, conservatism, and lack of patience for me to switch from forever to over

I met a guy recently who at one point said he was 'very pro-life' and I was like adios.
I'm 30 and desperate, but still 'very pro-life?' Who says that?

men. men say that. men who have no idea the physical or emotional toll 'pro-life' puts on women. he's probably the same kind of man that thinks money makes a good father

the things people say that they think will be interesting or attractive (both men and women, i'd say) are strange sometimes.
i knew a guy who would introduce himself to women by saying, "hi, i'm [my name]! i'm 25 and still a virgin!"
got 'em every time.

I think the last one is kind of cute. After all, women expect a man who is pure and undefiled. I'm a little different, though - I think that if someone's read Hegel, he or she has lost his/her innocence. I believe very strongly that people shouldn't read Hegel before marriage.
Seriously, though, as to the other one, can't you be "pro-choice" and have kids? Assumptions, assumptions.
