Why is it that when a man hears that I need (to earn more) money, he recommends I need a man?
No man has ever paid my bills.
Why start now?
And why would I need a RELATIONSHIP in order to be INDEPENDENT?
It's not that I don't need people.
I must say that when you cultivate other people who depend on you being independent, they may interpret your unusual need as neediness or codependency and go away.
I don't like that. I'm not like that.
One kind friend says he knows I'm "Short" right now.
I'm conscientious about that though.
I don't believe in lists and keeping things even compulsively but I give back when I can, in my own way.
He is not a "boyfriend."
Today I was lunching when a man struck up a conversation with me.
When he said I needed to get a man I felt he was trying to advertise himself. (He was not at all attractive to me by the way but I feel sure that I would have said the same thing if he were.)
I said, "Not at this time of my life."
"But you NEED someone," he said.
"I have friends," I said.
He said, "But are they the kind of friends who will take care of you?"
He meant take me in.
I have been taken in by friends in the past.
Generally it didn't work so well.
I didn't say that.
I did say (and this is the truth) "All my friends have taken someone in."
