The Subtlety of Context
Has anyone else noticed that being active on Fet is very much like having a personal publicist who’s constantly strung-out on caffeine?
Several people have noticed recent changes to my profile, and while that’s not bad – I’ve gotten a few very surprised emails. I guess this is a natural result from having a profile that was stagnant for so long, and a by-product of my being in a place where I’m refining what it is I want and don’t want. It’s a process right now, and there will be more changes to come I’m sure – so keep your seat-belts on.
But it was the most recent “Nox_Amicus is looking for a relationship.” that generated some immediate attention, so I feel the need to add some context. If you know me, you know that I’ve been out of a relationship for some time now, and had labeled myself “emotionally unavailable” while I focused on the transition and came to terms with what I genuinely want from a partner, and what I’m prepared and able to offer. This week I got to the point where I recognized that I am “open” to the possibilities of a relationship – though I don’t know that I’m actively seeking one right now. Although I must acknowledge that karma and fate are interesting allies – so if they present me with someone, I am open to ‘dating’ (as opposed to just looking for a play partner).
The Fet profile didn’t really reflect that, but since there’s no option to say I’m “open” to a relationship, “looking” will have to do.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress…
