If You Can't Be With The One You Love, Love The One You're With (But Not TOO Long)!
The Proper “Usage” of the Transitional Man
Okay girls, we’ve all had them. These are the guys that we spend time with in between our major love relationships. They serve as a bridge from breaking up to making up, or new love.
Frequently they are the guys that we consider to be “friends”, but who have a deeper interest in us. Oh, come on, don’t lie or try to fool yourself, your lunch time buddy at work who always wants you to meet up with him for a drinkie poo after work and listens to all your cares and concerns about your romantic misadventures is frequently one of these “friends” and may well be lending an ear to get closer to some of YOUR body parts.
Or he’s the guy you met on the internet dating service that looks great on paper, (or online), but just doesn’t have that “chemistry” we need.
Sometimes he’s the guy that chases and pursues us when our egos are bruised and eventually we just give in because hell, it feels good to be appreciated.
But just the same, a key ingredient to the potion that causes us to “fall in love” is missing.
We’re out there.
We’re accepting that our relationship with our beloved is over and we are moving on.
Remember, the term “Transitional Man” applies to that gentleman whom we are dating, casually, but not likely to form a permanent relationship with because although he may be a great guy, he’s just not in possession of the qualities that we need.
