You all sound awesome. And Rockchick26, that guy should have listened to you more instead of constantly bragging about his car. Sounds like he messed up a really great relationship with a fantastic woman. Perhaps he was too self-centered?
I find there's no lack of people who share my interests and ideals, but the real problem is meeting them. The internet allows us to talk to people we never otherwise would have been able to talk to, and know them better than we would have ever known them if it weren't for the intellectually intimate contact we share with them through chat, emails, and other kinds of electronic communication. People we meet in person always build a shell around their true selves to protect themselves from the hostilities of the world around them. We never really see them for who they really are, and it's difficult or impossible to get through that.
The problem with the people who can really fulfill our needs is that they are often in a different state or even a different country. Meeting them and building a relationship can be difficult or even beyond our means, but shouldn't be overlooked if our happiness is at stake. |
