Just wondering, like..?
Cos the past ten years or so have seen a succession of girlfriends come and go, some with me ending it, others probably ending it for me, probably because of me being somewhat less than easy to deal with. Had a few flings here and there along the way too. I’ve never quite felt like I’ve met the right one. (Or did I just not realise it at the time..?)
Along the way, I think I’m coming to realise that, if I’m honest, I’m probably using my cycling addiction that has grown over the last 2 years as some kind of defence – in that it now renders me more or less incompatible with any sort of relationship. I just don’t have the time for one, or even for meeting anyone, because of riding a bicycle.
As a result, I’m single, 34 going on 35 and sometimes at a loss when I receive invites for things like the University’s reception this evening which invited myself…’and partner’. Everyone else had a partner, except me. I’m beginning to feel a bit like that harmless yet oddball middle-aged uncle, you know, the one who lives alone and collects coins, or breeds frogs for a hobby. I’m starting to wonder how long this will go on for, or whether I am simply incompatible with a long term committed relationship. Are there other people out there living similar lives.
So I thought I’d try a mountain biking website for help :wry smile:
(Off home from work now, so I will check this again first thing tomorrow morning – apologies if I don’t respond to the general pi$$ taking 😉 )
