Meet My Pathology
A new view of relationships
About a week ago, I was having a filling meal at
Chipotle, and got a chance to overhear a gay man and his gal pal discussing
online dating. The man seemed to indicate that no one's ever turned him down,
etc. The more honest of the two, the woman, was relating how one man lined her
up and scheduled three dates in one week with her, and then about an hour later
"changed his mind" and never wanted to meet her. She talked about how it
couldn't have been anything she had done. Of course it wasn't. The only thing
she did wrong was to let him schedule three dates.
A friend of mine recently said,
"There are no relationships. It's all just a 'meeting of pathologies.' " I
resisted the temptation to repeat this aphorism to my dinnertime entertainment.
I kept my mouth shut instead. That's why I have a blog.
