Just watched that strangers kiss video. Its a beautiful experiment. But it serves to remind me of and reinforce my general feelings of loneliness. Its funny how life keeps throwing these reminders my way recently. On the radio station they repeated adverts about some kind of dating service, where rock music fans can meet each other. Its the same on Heart. And, it was topic of brief conversation with Sarah, one of the merchandising team stocking the new store, focused around a rep for the cigarette company supplying us being cute. Ill spare you the boring minutiae of the conversation. But it has me wondering just -why- all these reminders are around me lately. Is it a general state of society that romance and the pursuit of it is highly important (likely) or is it something else; what Therese calls the Universe dropping hints or similar. Am I being confronted with this idea of finding or meeting a new parter for some deeper reason, or is it -just- that romance is a popular marketing commodity? While I do feel lonely, and sometimes would like to meet someone for the romance, its not something Ive any mind to actively seek for its own sake. I mean, why go rushing around looking for something youre perfectly alive without? Like I said today I go to work because Im paid to stand there. I dont socialise for its own sake either, which is linked to the romantic partner and work thing; Ive this need for there to be some point beyond just having a chinwag until Im comfortable being around that person or persons. A game to play, movie or T.V. show to watch, a walk to enjoy all facilitate the social experience. Im not the sort to go to the pub just because there are people there to be there with. Ill never be that guy. That and the laughable idea of my meeting someone while working a till at a shop. Have a nice day, madam. Theyll be tossing perfumed panties at me until Im buried in lace. Ultimately I suppose Ill see. Im trying to be unopposed to something happening, but its not easy to break a habit ingrained by the traumatic ending of a marriage and its ongoing fallout.
