The way it should be

I have a friend name Cathy who just can't keep her pants on. She seems to think that dating is a competitive sport and that she is in the lead. She barely breaks up with one guy when already she is headed on a blind date to meet another. Of course they are all badly suited for her, she takes no time to know these guys when she's already committed herself emotionally and physicallyto them.

How she manages to fall in love with any losershe meets, especially on a blind date I will never understand.She lets these men who she does not know touch and embrace her and this really gives me the creeps. I think we as women should have some standards and I truly find her dating habits too much to handle.

I have tried not to become to involved so as not to have to watch her make a fool of herself time and time again. As soon as the problems begin though she is at my door or on the phone. If I happen to be on the computer then she is on my messenger.Nothing I am doing is as important as the pain she is going through and I have to stop and take part in the grieving process.

She will regale me with the very uncomfortable details of his touch, his embrace and even the way he made love. No I don't want or need to hear any of this. The last thingI want to think about and imagine is her and her men doing it. Unfortunately I consider myself a good friend and I feel I have to help her through this. Any advice I give her for future relationships is in one ear and out the other. The next night she is out again. A new blind date and new relationship that is doomed to fail.

I love my friend dearly and hope one day she will find the man that will really and truly touch her heart. A man that can take care of her and cure all her ills. I hope she can open her self to it and embrace the thought of a real relationship.
