Hmmm, amazing, I was writing a blog once. I don't need it right now. I have a new lover, with a heart and soul deep enough to match mine. Or fall in and be lost in that primordial soup of neurotransmitters of the soothing kind. I found him last year at a poetry reading. Still don't care about the poems but we do care about each other a lot. In the end, I did take to heart new year's resolution (true, it was from 2010 but what does it matter that it was one year later than originally planned? and how does that compare to a lifetime of searching?) and chose my lover wisely. But that doesn't mean that I had to compromise. I means only that I avoided bastards from then on and that I got lucky. I found a true gem of a man.

Now what?
Next week is already here but the new guy clammed up. He hasn't emailed back since last Thursday. WTF? He said he is very keen to reveal his identity, in fact he can "hardly wait". To which I wrote that I hope it is not going to be too 'apocalyptic'. Explanation: he wrote me a few emails back that Apocalypse actually means "the lapel drops", i.e. truth is revealed. Now 1/ he either doesn't remember his own email, 2/ can't make the connection and he is hurt by my strong wording, 3/ got cold feet about meeting, 4/ met someone else, 5/ busy and/or 6/ his internet crashed. Whatever it is, I don't care. I am annoyed slightly but had enough of guys with over-sized egos where I always feel like I have to walk on eggshells so as not to offend the delicate senses of a Great Artist. I want Normal. Oh, well. Not normal, but somewhat more normal, someone who is capable to carry on a quasi-normal relationship.

Looking forward to next week
It has been awhile... and it was good to reread my entries. I completely forgot new year's resolution, which was to pick lover wisely. It seems I am ready to move on, after all.
I have been corresponding with a guy, A, since March, and we finally agreed to meet. I am afraid I was initiating it but got the clue (or cue?) from him as he said "this" is such an important topic I touched on that he is not even sure this can be discussed in emails. Another guy very sensitive to rejection, I guess.
He claimed to be an accomplished film director but he said he couldn't tell me his name as most people would assume he is loaded with money, and that is just not the case. He promised me to introduce himself with his full name when we meet (probably next week). Actually, my sister, being the nosy and clever one with the internet searches (till now I thought I am the best but I have to concede her superiority when it comes to finding people rather than concepts or objects), figured out who the guy is. He is indeed accomplished. But I have to keep this info under wraps, unless the guy thinks I am stalking him (even if he is stalked by my sister :-)).
He is a very interesting and smart guy but hasn't shared one bit about his personal/love life. I guess, that is not a very good sign. I made vague references to mine but never asked explicit questions about his personal life and he never volunteered. In any case, he is probably not an easy man to deal with. As Gypsy (on Fcupid) told me once, they are the hardest cases when it comes to love. Artists, that is. And this one is a serious artist.
I was thinking to tell him right up front that I am interested only in a serious relationship but then realized that I am being defensive, based on my previous bad experiences with B (another artist, a really talented musician). How interesting, before B I never dated an artist. I was hardly aware of their existence, at all. As I am in the sciences, those were the people I was mostly familiar with. The whole new world of art and artists started to unfold only when I was living in New York. (I even had a serious crush on a gay pianist whose orientation I had not suspected till he told me about it.)
I actually came across some Agony Aunt's boyfriend's wisdom about women like me. He said he identified the 3 biggest mistakes women make in their relationships: 1. Guys aren't looking for the same things in a relationship as women; 2. overwhelm the man with their attention; 3. being overly defensive and aggressively demanding exclusivity on the 2nd, 3rd, etc date, in a word, too early. As he said, he never started out with a woman with the purpose of hurting that woman's feelings by not living up to the woman's expectations (I guess, it just happened that way, anyway).
Yesterday I was reading about Baudelaire, the Madame he was courting anonymously (writing the most beautiful love poems to her), then later on revealing his identity (also, after publishing named poems with others in the "Flowers of Evil"). As soon as Madame declared her own unconditional love for him, he was done with her. That was enough for him. What a fascinating story, what a screwed-up guy. Poets. World famous ones. What else can one expect?

Progressing towards a liberated heart and soul
It has been more than a month that I posted here. I feel I did a lot of progress. After much thinking and initial drafts I finally wrote a letter to B on Feb 21, saying that I feel I am losing my self-respect always being the one to call. I explained to him that I was obsessing about him ever since that initial encounter in his apartment in 2008 September even though his comments always sent after such encounters made it pretty clear that he had no romantic notions about me. But, after finally inviting him to my apartment with the explicit purpose of consuming the relationship I found that my obsession finally came to an end. Therefore I don't need him anymore. If he wants to get together he'll have to initiate it as I am not going to call him.
That was more or less metaphoric speech as he doesn't even have my phone number. That was one thing that upset me last time, when he told me that he wanted to call me on his way to me (telling me he would be late) and he realized that he didn't have my number. I have this new number since November and when I tried to call him for the first time he actually called me back BECAUSE he didn't know who it was. When he did find out it was 'only' me he lost the incentive even to record my number.
Anyway, he of course didn't call, nor did he respond to my email. Which is fine, as I don't expect him to call or write. What I did, I did for myself, to finally have a peace of my mind and regain my self-respect. I did both, and I really don't miss him.
I had similar men in my life in the past. One who stands out is P, whom I had just before J, my long-term lover. P was very similar in many ways to B. He was on the rebound, a term or state of mind I didn't know at the time, so I dived into that relationship full frontal, not knowing what to expect. P told me once that he 'doesn't want to fall in love and have babies and family'. Nor did he ever suggest otherwise. The only gentle gesture not related to sex I can ever remember of was him kissing my forehead once in front of a pub we went to with another friend/colleague/housemate of ours (we all lived our single lives in an apartment building provided by the institute - a hot-house of all sorts of permutations between boys and girls - but only hetero, as far as I know). Even now, reconnecting after many years both him and me spending several of those abroad, and socializing fairly frequently with him and his new wife and family, we never talk about the past.
Once I asked P if it ever bothers his wife that we had a relationship in the past. He said he didn't think so. But that was it, we didn't bring up the subject again. It was like never talking about it either then or now, it hardly existed at all. Only on a physical level and talking about it would bring it to a different level - which is taboo. It would be almost like cheating on his wife? I don't know but it is very strange. Either him or me is an emotional retard. Possibly both of us.
In addition I brought up the subject because I wanted to tell him about B. P wanted me to get pot from him. He challenged me at least twice to get it. So interesting, how one bad guy (bad for me, that is) connects me to another. Even stranger that P originally was brought to my attention by Z, with whom I had a brief romance during my university years. He recommended P as free man as he knew about P's impending divorce. The unifying theme of these three is that they all wanted me for a friend mostly. With benefits. Admittedly, they didn't love me. If only then I would have had the insight I have now...

Quitting addiction cold turkey
Today I tried to record how many times I was thinking about this guy. Now that I decided I finally break all contact with him and give up on the idea of 'taming' him into boyfriend material. He is 'no boyfriend material' for me, anyway, as he once told me in no uncertain terms, by email.
Basically, I thought of him about every 3 minutes, or so. J called in the evening and he told me about his sister's marriage. I never knew the story. She was married to a guy for 16 years. They were real sweethearts together, an exemplary, happy couple, everyone's favorite role model. Then after 16 years of marriage J's sister decided that she had had it with the guy. He doesn't even fold the laundry properly as she realized (she was a high-school teacher, he was apparently an educated person, too), and she just wanted out of the marriage. So she divorced him. Later on she bitterly regretted her move. She never found another man as nice and sweet as him. And he remarried.
After we hung up, about 50 minutes later, I realized this was the longest time today that I didn't think about B. Why did I get so hooked on him, despite so little having happened between us and even less positive? I was thinking all day about that, too. It must be my masochistic tendencies that took over. My love addiction.
I have a love addiction. I haven't had an attack (or binge?) for at least 17 years so it was hard even to realize what I got myself into, it was such a long time ago that I suffered from this. And B is clearly a narcissist. According to some theory love addicts always get hooked on narcissists because it is such a strongly fitting bad pattern.
It is good to realize at least that one is not alone with this problem. I found this on the internet:
Obsessed Love Addicts: OLAs cannot let go of someone they love, even if their partner is:
Unavailable emotionally or sexually
Afraid to commit
Unable to communicate
Unloving
Distant
Abusive
Controlling and dictatorial
Ego-centric
Selfish
Addicted to something outside the relationship (hobbies, drugs, alcohol, sex, someone else, gambling, shopping etc)
Narcissistic Love Addicts: NLAs use dominance, seduction and withholding to control their partners. Unlike codependents, who accept a lot of discomfort, narcissists won’t put up with anything that interferes with their happiness. They are self-absorbed and their low self-esteem is masked by their grandiosity. Furthermore, rather than seeming to obsess about the relationship, NLAs appear aloof and unconcerned. They do not appear to be addicted at all. Rarely do you even know that NLAs are hooked until you try to leave them. Then they will no longer be aloof and uncaring. They will panic and use anything at their disposal to hold on to the relationship—including violence. Many professionals have rejected the idea that narcissists can be love addicts. This may be because they rarely come in for treatment. However, if you have ever seen how some narcissists react to perceived or real abandonment, you will see that they are indeed “hooked.”
B definitely has low self-esteem as he told me on that night when he cried out his eyes for the 20 years younger girl, who had abandoned him. But I doubt B will do anything to hold me back, which is just as well, as I finally want to put this idea of me and him being ever together behind me.
But today was definitely hard. And yesterday too. (I was nursing my hangover all day.)

Belly dance for him
Yesterday B was here again. Last time before we parted he told me to call him some time if I want to get together with him again. So I called him up and we agreed on Tuesday.
The problem started with the joint. He had only this one left, so we smoked it, me more enthusiastically than I should have. Other times I got into a real good mood with B and then we usually fooled around. However, yesterday something strange happened. When he went to the bathroom (and left the door ajar) I heard a cellphone sound. So I suddenly thought - is he texting someone or checking someone's calls while with me? It was definitely a paranoid thought. I heard pot capable of inducing paranoia before but never experienced it. But I didn't say anything.
Instead, he asked me to dance for him, so I put on a sexy skirt and pulled up my shirt so my belly would show. Found appropriate music on youtube, too. I took a belly dance course while unemployed in New York, and I am naturally a good dancer anyway as my body is very flexible. He duly developed an erection (he was wearing soft material so I could see it). But instead of kissing me (I guess, I could have initiated it), he stroked my body in a nice way but then proceeded to place me on the couch in a doggie style position.
This and my suspicions about his phone calls suddenly obliterated my desire. I jumped up and sat close to him (he is rather deaf) and asked him point blank if he was checking on his phone while in the bathroom. He said, "no, did my phone ring?", checked his phone and told me it must have been mine. Then I started to ask him about his 'story' since his divorce about 7 years ago. He told me he had only 2 sexually intense relationships, with the 20 years younger girl and I guess, the other one was with his wife. And that he doesn't "have another girlfriend". Ah, how sweet.
But my paranoia didn't subside and the main reason was that recently I noticed he was emailing several hours a day. I actually made him invisible to me in one account, but then kept logging in to my other account, as I just had to see. I am very obsessive, you know. To the point that he realized I was "stalking" him. He actually mentioned yesterday that he corresponds with a lot of friends in the US, apparently to calm me down.
But this was not the only sign - around Xmas I called him to arrange for a get-together and he said let's not do it at his place as his neighbor is always listening in on him (hah, another stalker!). I said ok, then he sent me an email on the day, saying 'he has very high fever and can't do it'. Then, I, being the person I am (I actually was diagnosed with OCD while working at Yale) gave him a few phone calls in the following days. OK, it might not even be that strange of me to try to reach him, if we think about it. And his cell was turned off. Damn. I thought he is corresponding with a woman in the US and now she came over to visit him. How sweet.
After the strained discussion about his relationships (nonexistent) we started to chat about a lot of BS, like the traffic on my street and such crucial topics. I showed him my sketches of nude models and he said he would be quite happy if he could draw like me. Always the "Me". The me, the me, the me. Rarely 'you'. Why? Ah, ok, he is just another self-absorbed artist type.
What really strikes me is my own thinking and how much I can distort it or how differently unfold the conversations from what I had imagined before. I was hoping to talk honestly about his sexual relations, and also mine so we could eliminate the condoms, that he tried to use in vain last time ("three blanks", as he said). And that I also would tell him about my ongoing and I guess, never-ending love for J, who treats me to the best restaurants when he is here and just tries to please in as many ways as he can think of. And that I would suggest him (B) that we have a 'poly-amorous' relationship, in which both parties date other people. The main difference is, instead of cheating on your partner you are honest and upfront about your parallel relationship with them. This way you are supposed to be more grounded as you don't have to suffer the sudden loss of the only partner you have when you break up. I was actually thinking to speak about this to him before we smoke pot as I didn't want to feel stupid while having a serious discussion like this.
Well, I guess, I failed it. My own plans. I couldn't even get his opinion on this as I didn't get to the point when I could have explained this concept to him at all. Damn. Is it my fault? I guess, not completely. B looked just so bored last night when I tried to tell him about anything that that itself became an impediment.
Or, it is possible that I can't bear the thought of another woman? But that is not true, after all, J has had a parallel woman ever since I had him. True, it was very hard in the beginning but somehow I managed to accept this situation as the best we could ever have.
No, I don't even think B would be interested in such an arrangement. Anyway, why do I even wonder about this now?
As for the rest of the evening, here is the 'finale'. Around midnight B got up from his chair and said he should go. I got upset and tried to hug him and even set on his lap in a suggestive pose to make him change his mind. But he didn't. He didn't even want to smoke a cigarette with me. So I let him out, and a minute later he came back knocking on my door saying he can't get out. So told him about red button to push. Then I went to bathroom and he was back in another minute hitting my door real hard so I had to shout out to him saying I'd be there in a minute. It was a bit scary. So I put on a coat and let him out through the gate after pushing the red button for him. I thanked him rather sarcastically for "not breaking into my apartment".
After he left my first thought was a huge, huge relief. Why was I poisoning my life with this guy for 1.5 years? What a relief not having to think about such a narcissistic, self-absorbed artist type? Did he sweeten my life ever? Oh, ok, to be honest, he did, sometimes. He made me dress better. And he made me feel better about my body, as he always praised it. And took a lot of photos of it. Not that I am not aware I have a nice body, kind of, but nobody ever told me before my tits were so precious. At the age of 45! Thanks, B. Too bad, you will never be honest about your affairs. Just as my sister predicted. OK, I am done with you, it seems.
On to greener pasturs...

After he left my first thought was a huge, huge relief. Why was I poisoning my life with this guy for 1.5 years? What a relief not having to think about such a narcissistic, self-absorbed artist type? Did he sweeten my life ever? Oh, ok, to be honest, he did, sometimes. He made me dress better. And he made me feel better about my body, as he always praised it. And took a lot of photos of it. Not that I am not aware I have a nice body, kind of, but nobody ever told me before my tits were so precious. At the age of 45! Thanks, B. Too bad, you will never be honest about your affairs. Just as my sister predicted. OK, I am done with you, it seems.
On to greener pasturs...
