1-if someone hits on you and you find them incredibly attractive and decide to go home with them, you don't have to feel guilty the next morning.
2-possibilities. every day is a new day where you might meet someone incredible, your soul mate, and fall in love for ever and ever. And if it doesn't happen today, it could happen tommorrow.
3-you get really good at writing emo poetry.
4-you don't have to pretend to be interested in your partner's interests or pretend to like their best friend.
on a serious note (not that some of these weren't serious) i find that i cope by keeping busy - working, writing, riding my bike, making sure i am getting lots of social time with people i enjoy, and i try not to let myself wallow in self pity. sitting around the house being sad might be easy to do, but it will drag you down and wear you out. find a new hobby, join a club, just keep active.
My experience with an open relationship. My ex (whom i still love and share a home with... it's complicated! lol) and i had an open relationship. The rule was that neither of us had an issue with sexual relationships with other partners. i mean, i get that, since we are both bi-sexual, that at times she wanted to be with a guy. She had a regular fuck buddy, who became a regular at dinner about once a week and that i considered a friend. Sometimes we would share another guy or gal, and sometimes we would play solo.
The key - we were always up front about it. there was no going behind the other persons back and sneaking out with someone and we'd always make sure the other was ok with it. There were times when i simply was feeling insecure and i'd ask her to cancel a play date and she would, no questions asked.
i have a tendency to do one night stands, but once again, we talked it over and decided that as long as i checked in with her first, let her know where i was, and promised to check in again at a certain hour (she worried i'd get into trouble, understandably) she accepted that.
No, it was not always easy. I'm not a jealous person, but at times there was jealousy on both of our parts. And, at times, there was that hurt feeling that someone else was providing her with something i obviously couldn't. I don't mean to make this sound easy, but it can work as long was you communicate and remain honest and up front about your extra-ciricular partners.
oh, and no, it is NOT for everyone - it's a lot to handle, and anyone in an open relationship should touch base fairly often to make sure both partners are still comfortable not being exclusive - people and attitudes change, and it's not uncommon for one person to decide they can no longer do it.
i started out with sexy photos that i thought represented me, that weren't actually me - i'm really shy about putting up my pictures for public veiwing. That turned out to be a mistake! i'd get just mobbed by guys thinking that these amazingly hot, half dressed women, were really me, so i ended up with my current avi.
easy choice - i think it shows off my sort of bouncy/bubbly personality, and it's of one of my favorite Superheroes (yes, i read comics - nerd!). Also, my very first story here was a Supergirl Roleplay story, so it just made sense.
You Are Brainy Sexy
You are sexy because you are smart. People know that there is more to you than meets the eye.
You are alluring and mysterious. While many people are intrigued by you, the feeling isn't mutual.
It takes a lot for someone to turn you on. First and foremost, you're only attracted to someone who's incredibly brilliant.
But you just don't go for brains alone. Physical attractiveness is something you won't compromise on.
You of all people can afford to be picky. You are demanding, but you are also in demand.
And when someone gets you alone, you're truly amazing. Not many people get to see you in action.
HA - they got this SOOO wrong!
ok, can't believe i am admitting this, but the whole Disney movie thing... i have pretty much all the DVDs , i once had a crush on Ariel (not as a little girl but as an adult!) and i have been known to wear princessy outfits and dance around the house listening to to the Little Mermaid soundtrack by myself.
*laughs* all the time, as in... 'oh, wow, i wish mine were as beautiful as hers'
because i have the window and the shadeds open and i like the way the breeze feels on my flesh and am secretly hoping someone might catch a glimpse of me...

Hello Birmingham by Ani DiFranco gets me everytime...
hold me down
i am floating away
into the overcast skies
over my home town
on election day
what is it about birmingham?
what is it about buffalo?
did the hate filled wanna build bunkers
in your beautiful red earth
they want to build them
in our shiny white snow
now i've drawn closed the curtain
in this little booth where the truth has no place
to stand
and i am feeling oh so powerless
in this stupid booth with this useless
little lever in my hand
and outside my city is bracing
for the next killing thing
standing by the bridge and praying
for the next doctor
martin
luther
king
it was just one shot
through the kitchen window
it was just two miles from here
if you fly like a crow
a bullet came to visit a doctor
in his one safe place
a bullet ensuring the right to life
whizzed past his kid and his wife
and knocked his glasses
right off of his face
and the blood poured off the pulpit
yeah the blood poured down the picket lines
yeah, the hatred was immediate
and the vengence was divine
so they went and stuffed god
down the barrel of a gun
and after him
they stuffed his only son
hello birmingham
it's buffalo
i heard you had some trouble
down there again
and i'm just calling to let to know
that someone understands
i was once escorted
through the doors of a clinic
by a man in a bulletproof vest
and no bombs went off that day
so i am still here to say
birmingham
i'm wishing you all of my best
oh birmingham
i'm wishing you all of my best
oh birmingham
i'm wishing you all of my best
on this election day
