A new beginning:

Well here’s the deal…
I’m a professional in my mid 20’s. I have a nice place in a great location. I have a nice car. I had the best girlfriend in the world. My life was perfect. I won the game of life.

God is a contentious asshole. I say that because one day he decided to fill my girlfriends head with idea’s of a new life. He made it brutally clear that there was no passion in our relationship and that life can be much better than this (what a dickhead move). He slowly created what was to become my girls first quarterlife crisis.

“Go out and live on your own for once.” He said.

See up until she met me she had never lived on her own.

“Go and decorate your very own apartment, taste life a little.” He said.

What he didn’t tell her was that she would have to pay rent, pay utilities, buy her own food, take the train to work, and oh yeah, start dating again. See god is a little bastardo that way.

So she did it. After 4 years, my picture perfect girlfriend went off to ex-girlfirend land. I was hurt. Good thing is that there was no major fight that did us in, it was just 2 mature adults parting ways.

Surprisingly the break up was the easiest break up of my life. I suppose when there is no guilt involved, you just kinda tell yourself “Ok, time to move on.” And you do it.

The first few nights were tough and I missed her heaps, but shortly after the self pity sessions I would find myself manically getting excited about what life has to offer. Being a serial monogamist was my modus operandi and alas it was time for a change. I began looking forward to my new life as this single guy meeting new personalities and getting to know them, or as I like to say, sleeping with them.

This blog will chronicle the dating misadventures I run into as I begin the healing process and begin to reassemble my life.
