strategic foresight

About three weeks ago, I told someone that our “relationship” was going to end before it even begun. And three weeks later, I was right. Not only was I right, but I realized after we got off the phone that I did it the same way as the last five times, except I wasn’t actually in a relationship this time. I led him to think there was a chance a real relationship would be at the end of the tunnel, and when he asked what the status of “us” was, I had to tell him (again, as I did in the very beginning) that I wasn’t looking for an emotional attachment, a responsibility, a relationship.

In the end, it wasn’t his fault–as always, it was mine.

    That’s very wise foresight of you. In fact, I have that gut feeling all the time myself, and I’m just like, go away. Sucks that it has to be like that for us types.

    On the optimistic side one could say you have high standards.
    On the pessimistic side one could say you are a wuss.

    Your choice.
