The Boys

The Key Players--People to know when reading this blog

• The Ex--Dated for more than four years. Pretty much all through college. He will truly be remembered as one of the great loves of my life. One of my biggest fears is never finding someone else who will love me as much as he did. When you find love like this, it makes your soul sing. We broke up in January of '08. We just didn't have time for each other and it took a major toll on our relationship. We tried to work it out but ultimately it just didn't. As much as we loved each other, we didn't make a good match. His temper, my stubborness. We tried the friend thing for a little bit through occasional emails but when he found out I was with someone new, I stopped hearing from him. Maybe one day we'll be able to be friends, but he's not the kind of guy to get over things quickly. He will forever be the guy I compare all my future guys to.
  
• The Rebound--The very first guy I dated after The Ex. I fell completely hard for this guy, way too hard. He was everything The Ex wasn't. Including a total douchebag, which no matter how many people told me, I just didn't want to believe. After realizing how much of myself and my values I was willing to compromise to be with him, I finally had the courage and strength to let him go.
  
• The Doctor--This was the guy I dated while trying to get over The Rebound. SO basically he was the rebound to The Rebound. Except I had no attraction to him and we had nothing in common. Plus I actually found him a little slimy. There's just no other word to describe it.
