This is why I love my Sorors. I logged on and I saw this thread. Talk about right on time....
I am so sad. I thought I had finally met someone genuine. Real. However, it seems that my deepest fears have been confirmed and realized. I try to always go into a relationship being open and honest, expecting the best. I am optimistic and realistic when I meet someone. But, I am growing more and more disenchanted.
I try to self-analyze to determine if I'm doing something wrong, but I feel like I am being true to myself. I don't regret anything that I've done since I met this man. But I am so damn tired of wasting my time. And why does this have to happen right before my birthday/Christmas?

Not that there is ever a good time to breakup, but oh my damn... I just feel so hopeless when it comes to my love life. You know how people always say, "Stop looking and love will find you." Well, I stopped looking a lonnnnng time ago, and all that's finding me are idiots and liars.
I give great advice to my girls about love and getting through periods like this, but I am having a hell of a time consoling myself. I feel a Florida Evans moment coming on.... DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! Oh well...
