DESPERATELY SEEKING SOMEONE | |
| Today I called a good friend that I hadn’t talked to in
quite a while, writes Jimmy Ward. After the initial “hello’s” and obligatory chitchat she asked the
dreaded question! “So, have you got a boyfriend yet?” Dum-ta-Dum-Dum. Well, being a comedian (of the self-professed variety) my reply was: “No, I am terminally single.” Terminally Single! I thought it was pretty funny! But, what was I really saying? |

Will I really die if I don’t find a partner? Can treatments of occasional dates
and one-night-stands prolong my life? Is there a hospice program for this?
How long do I have?
Oh sure, I have had periods of remission. Several times actually. Okay, more times than I care to admit! The first time I went into remission it was with a guy who wasn’t gay. Yeah Right! For two years we dated, but he wasn’t gay. Then he decided to straighten up and fly right; he has been happily married for close to ten years now, but I still miss him. A short time later, the man that I thought was my Prince Charming waltzed into my life. I spent the next four years with Mr. Construction thinking; “This is the one!” Wrong, Again! He woke up one morning with the fear that he was no longer attractive! SO! Well I certainly thought he was; and who cares what everyone else thinks! | |
| From there I moved on to the Stylist. Oh, but this one was not meant to be either; for I was just the In-Town-Work-Week Squeeze. Don't get me wrong, we had some great sex. In fact looking back we had some really great times together but not on a long-term basis, although we have remained great friends. Some find this odd, but it works for us. |

Sounds like I have been around the block a time or two doesn’t it? Oh, there have been more. The florist
who just didn’t deserve someone like me. The Nurse’s Aide who cared too much.
Maybe I misdiagnosed myself, it’s just a rash. Yeah, that’s it just a rash of bad luck. A rash of insecure, commitment shy, neurotic men! Yeah that’s the ticket! There is nothing wrong with me at all! Even with all of the failures in the past; I would love to have someone to come home to, someone to share dinner with, snuggle on the couch with, watch movies with, and sleep like spoons with. Heck, who doesn’t? Okay. Maybe I'm not Terminally Single…..Just Relationship Challenged!
I guess what I need to do is start screening that “Potential New Boyfriend” just
a little bit better. Our questionnaire below might just help. |
