Every time you meet someone you have an awesome and instant connection with, they're either only visiting or only in town for a temporary period of time?

Sigh.

ETA: Or maybe it's just me.

    Come on Cupcake! when you first meet someone everything is all sunshine, rainbows and unicorn piss because it is that heady fun beginning when you are getting to know each other and you are both on your best behavior and overly considerate of one another. In your case lately you have just been meeting folks who are only in town for a short time and the new early phase of things has you thinking it is supercalafragalistic expiadultacious! Really if he were to stay in town another month...it may not still be all roses and puppy kisses.

    Or lies to you about wanting something more than a one night thing and then when you make a valiant effort to get in touch with them they don't return your calls or texts.

    Yeah, it was a chick... I'm getting ready to give up.

    Clearly we have all had some great times!!!

    Gay men for women, one night stands for both sexes, wants what he cant have, or married etc!

    Wow, we are a collection of disappointment right now! Pick your collective heads up gang! It could be so much worse! Go read one of Yoovie's blog posts, those always seem to pick my spirits up or if that doesnt work, realize one of you could be dating me and that my friends is no fun at all! So it could be worse ish!

    Hey man, some of the ladies in this forum know I've got more men in the queue than I can handle these days. Never had this kind of attention back in high school/college so I'm loving life

    when you're passing through town, or they're passing through town, you can be anyone you want. they can be anyone they want.

    there is an air of " this is only temporary" ..... after all they ( or you) will be gone in a couple days. so, why not make the most of it and just have fun!!! it's even better than the honeymoon period because you're trying to make those couple days the best! they have to last after you no longer see one another.

    things would not be the same if you both lived in the same place and were trying to make a go of an actual relationship :-)

    just enjoy it while it lasts :-)

    Sometimes those guys from out of town are willing to commit to making something work across the distance. I have.

    Oh I hear ya! I'm in the exact same boat right now. Went out with this guy for a bit... he was supposed to be transferred at the end of June. Guess what? He left this week. UGH! So not fair!
