 I've experienced rejection a couple times recently and this same theme keeps emerging. A woman comes into my sphere of sensation and becomes my goddess of the moment. Even more than the moment, because I think about her when she's not there and then I see her again and she still stirs up the same yearning to be closer, to taste every part of her skin with every part of my own, to unite beyond bodies and hold each other's souls.

But alas, this is not what she wants. She appraises me for my longevity: What are his prospects for the future? Where will he be two, five, ten years from now? What will his DNA look like in a stroller and who will be pushing that stroller? Will he always love me and only me? Will my parents approve of him? etc. Most women seem to be looking for Mr. Right and I can only offer them Mr. Right Now.

In the past it was easier. People were younger with more time to lose and willing to take a leap into the who knows. Some of my longest, most monogamous relationships have unfolded from this unsure beginning, one day at a time, one now after another. But if they didn't last ten years, were they a waste of time? Not for me because I didn't miss every minute of it thinking about tomorrow.

I hope to someday soon find a partner who will live life and share dreams and procreate with me. But, I wouldn't turn down a sweet moment of love today because it doesn't appear to have what I want for tomorrow. Who knows what I'll really end up wanting tomorrow?

How will I recognize the mother of my child? I think she'll be the one that's pregnant with my baby. And I don't mean that it'll be an accident, I mean that the committment will come when it becomes appropriate not born out of my preconceptions about a person that I've hardly begun to know.

Time and time again I see the "happily ever after" fantasy glaze over someone's eyes and wedding bells ring and the white picket fence gets erected. But don't forget those pre-nuptials, because time and time again, the bubble gets popped, the divorce lawyer's phone rings and the wrecking ball smashes through the picket fence.

Yeah, yeah, we all know of a few exceptions, those lucky few who are still happy together ten, twenty years later, but why not let that possibility arise fresh out of every kiss, instead of putting all of our fragile eggs into that rickety old basket? "So let me fall," she says, "why should you care?" Cause I wanna get with you, baby. Love, Dave The Chatboard Chatterbox
