Where to begin on this one... Firstly, I must admit that Mr. Washington does indeed come across a quite the pompous ass, and his female friend was quite right in leaving after six months when he could not assure her of his intentions. If he was not intending to marry her, she was well within her rights to seek out someone who had such intentions in mind, instead of always sensing that the sands in her hourglass of prime childbearing years were being drained away for no worthwhile result.
For those of you who have read some of My previous postings, you may recall that I had some rather... intense experiences with an ex, but it was really quite a few years ago. What the majority of you do not know, is that some four and a half years after My ex and I went our separate ways, I found the most wonderful lady imaginable. However, due to the bad memories that My ex had left Me with, I actually only briefly spoke with her for about six months before we started going out with each other. I did not wish to get involved with anyone, and I had to battle continually not to see her any more than I did -although I was fighting My feelings at the time to see more and more of her. We discussed this together later on, and she confessed to Me that I did not immediately attempt to become involved, and instead worked on actually talking to her and getting to know her better made Me incredibly interesting to her. I could easily write several pages here in simply reminiscing over all our wonderful times, but that would merely take up bandwidth to no avail. Let Me sum it all up by saying instead... that sometimes God gifts us with a candle of a soul to walk beside us for a time, to hold the lonely darkness at bay by their bright presence, and too often we do not realize until too late the joy they made of our too-brief time on the same path.
She has been gone now from this world for over thirteen years, and I have loved no other since.
Am I celibate? In a manner of speaking. Is it by choice? At first, yes, but the last several years have left Me open to the possibility of another to be in My life. As far as sleeping with others; I am not interested. With the one I eventually choose to spend the rest of My life with, yes. A casual fling or a one-night-stand hold no interest for Me. I would much rather wait and give the totality of My love and affection for a true soul and good, that will unhesitatingly return the same to Me.
Don't get Me wrong; I love women. But I am unwilling to become intimate with someone who might not be there the next day despite the sharing of our souls. Better to invest My intents on someone of quality, that holds My interests of value in return. I know she is out there, somewhere. But if she does not arrive before My time on this plane is through... at least I have known that one pure love once. No one else can ever compare, but to find one that is at least close to what My love meant to Me is all I ask. But I do not think I would ever spend six months waiting and not give her any indication of My intents, or at least inform her that I needed more time to reflect upon things before I could give her an answer.
