What do you want?

I'm not incestuous. I'm just noting that there is no point in romance or non-familial love.

[shipitsupersonic]

Sure there is. Otherwise it would have stopped happening.

[protective_logic]

You're going to suggest that there is a point to romance?

[shipitsupersonic]

To convince someone to fuck.

[protective_logic]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[shipitsupersonic]

Any particular reason the subject came up?

[protective_logic]

I just... wanted something better. More. And the whole realization that people don't get that more sorta sucks.

[shipitsupersonic]

There is no more. So you're not missing out on anything at least.

I don't lie to you.

[protective_logic]

I had gotten around to figuring out that there isn't more. At least, not for me.

[shipitsupersonic]

Not for anybody, so at least you are not a bad kind of special.

[protective_logic]

I'm not entirely sure I agree with you. My brother is so happy.

[shipitsupersonic]

The one that broke up with the nosebreaker?

[protective_logic]

Younger brother who is dating another friend of mine. We're a clusterfuck.

[shipitsupersonic]

Yes. Yes, you are. Is this friend also an asshole? I'd like to think someone you know isn't.

[protective_logic]

No, he's... a good guy. There was a chance I might have... Well, it doesn't matter. He wanted my younger brother and not me. People don't pick me.

[shipitsupersonic]

Why not?

[protective_logic]

First of all, I'm a parent. And secretive. Then there is the clear insanity and refusal to accept happiness in my life. The fact that I can't give a relationship the time and effort it is due. Having someone wait over a decade for true commitment?

Yeah, I'm messed up.

[shipitsupersonic]

You're not messed up. Or insane. You have your priorities in order, is all. Either you'll find someone willing to wait or your kids will grow up.

[protective_logic]

People keep saying that, but it was a miracle to find someone who looked at me and said 'there is a man worth waiting a decade for.' And that was with us already in a relatively serious relationship.

I no longer hold my breath. I am not suited to romantic pursuits. Which is why I'm glad for you, TC. In the face of that, having a friend is the most important thing I can imagine.
