Relationships
For the record, most of humanity sucks. Just about everyone is out for himself/herself and most do not think of the consequences or about feelings of others.
Beth, I don't know about any of your other boyfriends, but Russ is an ass. Plain and simple. He does not/did not deserve you. And, you should not even worry about what a guy like him thinks about you. You are a very beautiful, smart, funny, and friendly girl. You deserve to have a good person in your life that cares about what you think and loves every aspect of you. If somebody treats you like trash, that should be the end of the relationship. Do not stand for someone to walk all over you or act as though you are not worth his/her time. If a person does not find you worthy then chances are, that person is overestimating him/herself.
Good luck to everyone that is not in a relationship and wants one. There are still some worthwhile individuals in the world. Seems to me that most of those people have been burnt and don't wish to be hurt again. Well, we all make mistakes and date the wrong people before we find exactly what we need (to be alone or the special someone.) But, we can't let being burnt/hurt stop us from getting back up and trying again. If we all let injuries stop us from doing something again, how many of us would be just sitting around doing nothing. When we were children, we all fell when trying to walk, crawl, sit up, climb, ride a bicycle, etc. And we all have been emotionally scarred from various things too. There are billions of people in this world, don't let a few jerks completely mess up your happiness and sense of self worth.

I'm single, I haven't been in a romantic relationship for almost 6 years. Now I feel I've recovered enough from my past to begin to date again. Unfortunatly most girls are scared off by my past, and my non-traditional views and morals don't help me at all. In a weird twist of irony, the very same past that scares off most girls draws underage girls like flys to honey, leaving me insulated from any real suitors by a perpetual ring of JailBait. Theres nothing worse then Karmic CockBlocking.

thought I saw my face on MTV,
Or a magazine that she won't read.
I stole her heart, but its not my fault,
looking at my picture she forgot about her boyfriend yeah!"

i feel like saying more for some reason
for the most part the happiness a person feels in a relationship is little more than the set up to a hideously cruel joke. the punchline being your eventual realization that you actually thought someone could love you. you can keep deluding yourself but that doesnt change the fact that no matter how close you are to someone you will always on some level be completely isolated from everyone. love is complete bullsh*t. it's just people's way of masking their carnal desires. /end rant

Re: Relationships
Love is not a false thing, I do not believe. I have been in probably too many serious relationships considering my age, and have been in love before. I think the most important thing to think about before entering into a relationship is your capacity to love yourself. As trite and cliche as that sounds, it's 100% true. Self loathing breeds insecurity, which breeds questioning your loved ones ability to love you, which leads to questioning the validity of the relationship itself. When the relationship does fall apart, the cycle just starts over once more. I think a lot of love is about being able to accept and embrace not only your flaws, but those of the one you love. Knowing when to bite your tongue, when not to nag, when to cuddle and stroke when you would rather curse and scream.
Being able to curb and eventually overcome ones first instinctive thought(yelling at someone when they don't do what they say, ignoring someone when they are being grumpy to you, etc) is a big step toward realizing how much you do love a person. When you want to do everything in your power to better the relationship, even if that means adjusting your habits and reactions, that says a lot.
Now, I'm not saying that you should completely change yourself when entering into a relationship, but it becomes more of what you can do to make them happy, what you can do to make both of you better people. It's not a race. It's not about winning or losing. It's about getting there together.

I agree with you for the most part Jez except for the part where you say to curb your first intstinct.
IMO that is the problem with most people in relationships, they have a problem with their significant other yet they "keep the peace" and they only end up letting a small problem become a bigger problem until it ends up severing the whole relationship.
This may not be true in all cases, but I find it is true in just about everyone one of mine.
