I saw this meme in the blog of a girl I know, and given recent decisions I have made in my life, I thought it was rather fitting to do it, assess, and all that rot.
-Longest relationship:
At one shot? 2.5 years, with John the Saint. On-and-off? Almost the same, with the Crap Weasel.
-Shortest relationship:
Serious relationship? 6 months, with Idiot Steve. Fling? 2 months, with Big Brad.
-How many boyfriends/girlfriends have told you that they love you? and meant it?
5 told me...at least three meant it. I am not sure that the others really understood love enough to really know what they were talking about. In fairness, I am sure that they thought they did.
-How many times have you been in love?
Three
-Have you ever thought that you were going to marry the person you were with?
Absolutely! I delude myself every time. I'm an optimistic person!
-Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt?
Alas, yes.
-Have you ever made a boyfriend or girlfriend cry?
Of course.
-Have you ever cried over a boyfriend or girlfriend?
Anyone who knows me knows that I cry over just about anything. So, yes. I don't retain water easily.
-Are you happier single or in a relationship?
I like being in relationships, so long as they are functional. If not, I will opt for the Single Life. There's more happiness and self-respect to be had.
-Have you ever cheated on a boyfriend or girlfriend?
yes
-Have you ever been cheated on?
yes
-What is your favorite thing about the preferred sex?
This is a weird question. I will ponder this at another time.
-What is the best part of being in a relationship?
Companionship, affection, discovering new things together, planning a future together, knowing that there is someone in your corner, backing you up, appreciating you.
-What is the worst part of being in a relationship?
Depends on who the boyfriend is.
-Have you ever had your heart broken?
Of course!
-Have you ever broken someones heart?
I honestly don't think so. I am sure I have caused my past lovers pain, but not heatbreak.
-Talk to any of your exes?
Yes--John the Saint and I are best good friends.
-If you could go back in time and change things to where you could still be with one of your exes, would you?
Absolutely not.
-Do you think any of your exes feel the same way?
I imagine they all feel the same way I do.
-What is your ideal boyfriend or girlfriend?
Someone who is willing to compromise and try new things together with me. Someone who is reliable, and has a solid sense of humor. Someone who knows himself/herself. Someone who will pause and appreciate me, and who can communicate. Someone who surprises me with flowers and road trips. Someone who loves animals as much as I do, and who is as liberal as I am. Someone who will not freak out when I stick my foot in my mouth, and someone who my friends like. Someone who is tolerant and understanding of my neuroses, and knows his own. Someone who knows himself, and what he wants.
-Do you believe that you are a good boyfriend or girlfriend?
It depends on the relationship. Generally, I think I try very hard, and in fact sometimes try too hard. Which can make one a bad partner. But I am by no means the Evil BitchMonster From Hell.
-Have you dated people who were not good to you?
It's my MO.
-Have you been in an abusive relationship?
Not physically abusive. But definitely neglectful.
-Name your most memorable ex if you have had?
In all honesty, I remember them all, because I have a fucked-up elephant memory.
-Have you dated someone older then you?
Yes--I once dated someone 26 years older than myself.
-Younger?
yes, but not by too much.
-Do you regret anything that you have done with a boyfriend or girlfriend?
What's the point? I am who I am now, because of my past. And I like my life and who I am.
-Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?
Some might, I suppose. God knows I gave the Crap Weasel and I enough chances. The older I get, however, the less inclined I am to be disposed to it.
-Believe in love at first sight?
no
-Ever dated two people at once?
yes
-Ever been given a promise ring?
no
-Ever been given an Engagement ring?
no
-Do you want to get married?
Absolutely. But only to someone who is willing to work as hard at the relationship as I will.
-Do you have something to say to any of your exes?
Yes--but I am calling John this weekend, so it can wait. I don't think he reads this, anyway.
-Ever stolen someones boyfriend or girlfriend?
No
-Ever liked someone elses boyfriend or girlfriend?
Yeah
-Do you believe in true love?
I believe in "relative" love. That's what Einstein's theory of relativity was really about.
-Does heartbreak really feel as bad as it sounds?
It depends on how emotionally unstable you are!
