The Phoenix Doesn't Wanna Settle

Relationships, settling down, tied down and me in the same sentence?? I don't think so.

Recently, I've been encountering a lot of chicks that I talk to that want to be in a relationship. Not talking relationship as in just kick it, chill, hangout friends. I'm talking serious relationship, dating, settling down kind of relationship.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind if a chick wants to date me. However, at this stage of my life, I do not want to settle down right now, I see no point in doing so. What happened today pretty much solidified my choice in being single for a long ass time. I'll just break it down as simple as I can.

I felt suffocated talking to these girls. Like these chicks were aggressive as hell in trying to get me to be in a relationship with them. Now I like an aggressive girl that knows she wants me and goes after it, BUT, I DO NOT LIKE, a girl that always wanna text, or instant message, or call every 5 minutes asking what you doing or are you still there, that just annoys me really bad. It was just the way THOSE chicks did it that irritated me to hell and back, but for some reason when another girl did it, I didn't get bothered by it. I guess it depends on the girl. I just felt like i didn't have any space, they just wanted to be with me all the time, talk to me all the time, just felt like I had no type of privacy and I couldn't do anything.

Like I said before, at this stage of my life I don't wanna settle or be in a relationship right now. First off, I am going to be leaving for the Air Force soon, meaning there would be absolutely no point in trying to squeeze a quick relationship that's only gonna last for a few weeks and that's it. To me that's just not a real relationship. A relationship is something that at least lasts at a minimum of one MONTH, dating lasts only one WEEK. Huge difference there, dont you think?

Secondly, I'm only 19 years old according to my birthday of December 3rd, 1991 and according to the date this blog post is created. *8/4/2011* I got a lot to live, and last time I checked, 19 years old is still pretty young. I got plenty of time to settle down in the years to come, and I probably will settle down once I get myself all good. My auntie said it best, "right now you should focus on you and the Air Force" and I definitely agree with her. I feel like once I accomplish that, everything will fall into place, and everything will work itself out.

Now that I think about it, I really haven't experienced life like I should. I didn't get the full college experience that I thought I was going to get from going to school, and haven't got to really live on my own too much (One year at Western Michigan, doesn't really count for too much nowadays). I just feel like it's a world of opportunities and experiences that are waiting for me, and settling down and being in a relationship right now seems like the worst thing I can do before I leave for Basic Training.

In any case, the Phoenix doesn't wanna settle down..until later on in my life.
