Response to Heather's Comments (What can I say? She knows what buttons to push):
1. True, I have not often had smart girlfriends. I have been working on changing that. I believe my track-record shows at least that much. Progress may be slow, but it is being made.
2. Conversation wise, I have always been able to hold a conversation with my SOs. Maybe they were not the most meaningful, but they did happen. I often find that I meet people who I cannot get past small-talk with. I met a girl the other day that was like this. We just kinda stood there and stared at eachother. There was absolutely nothing common between us. Again, I would like to think that my track-record is improving on this.
3. Lastly, it's not like I'm shipping out tomorrow. True, I have been worrying about a long-term relationship for some time now. Should I even try? I'll only be living here in Carrollton for another Year and a half. At that point, I give up my apartment, move everything I own into storage and actually go off to Quantico for 9 months of TBS. So should I? I think yes. I have had meaningful relationships that didn't last for over that time. I'm not looking to get married or anything, just to... I dunno. Just to have I suppose. I need to figure out what I want. Possibly, that's the first step.
