09.02.13 – New Music Monday

 This week has been…odd.

I’m not used to texting quite as much as I have this week. And that hasn’t been bad, just different. The run down is that I’ve closed the dating profile. Long story short, I added a guy to my facebook and he went from normal to pervert almost instantly. It started with him asking only sexual questions.

Literally, I’d ask things like ‘what’s your favorite color?’ and he’d follow it up with ‘what’s your favorite sexual position?’ I tried to gently rebuff. I tried to be direct and say "I don’t answer sexual questions unless I’m in a relationship with someone." 

Finally, when it was clear that he wasn’t taking the hint (‘I can tell you want it really bad’ … Oh you can tell? From what? The way I don’t answer your questions?) so I told him "I’m sorry, this just isn’t going to work out." 

His response? "Thanks. Wanna fool around on here?" 

No I don’t.

"Will you send me pictures at least?"

"No. Sorry."

"How about for $300?"

Are you serious? First of all I guess I should be flattered, and goodness knows I could use the money, but I’m the person who thinks sharing my body with someone should be special. So no. I’m not for sale. 

And since I’m still having a hard enough time picking between the two really decent guys that I’m talking to, disabling my profile seemed like a logical step. And yes, I’m still talking to both of them. If I could find a way to merge the two it would be perfect. But I can’t. So I’m trying to take it slow. No pressure. They both know that I’ve been talking to other people and I don’t owe either of them anything yet…

But I’m still not fully comfortable with the situation I find myself in. It just feels like it’s going to eventually get messy and lead to someone getting hurt. And that’s the last thing I want to do to anyone. Or to myself. 

Dating is scary. And this isn’t even one of the situations I imagined when I thought that dating was scary. *sigh*

Ok. Music time. 

This week, like last, I don’t promise that new has anything to do with the time of release. It’s just about introducing it to you. And sometimes that’s not so much an introduction as a reintroduction to a song. So if you see some old songs, no…I’m not confused.
