desde CAracas VEnezuela



It seems to me it is often the case in my love life,
before marriage and now after my recent divorce,
that I go through feast or famine, drought or rain
storms.

What I mean is, after falling hard for a man that ended up
being married some months ago, I was back in So California
and for weeks and weeks didn't have a single date or
anything and was also finding out that all my friends
male and female were getting married, which since I
wasn't in the same space so to speak seemed awkward
for me and somewhat boring being single again and
wanting to go hang out and party. But I am also very
busy w/teaching, busy til I drop, so it was no big deal.

Now I get to South America and this week, all on the
same weekend, I knew it, always like this.

1. The Cubano is in town and know I'm here also and
don't know what to do. I adore the ground he walks
on but, he has some serious obligations if you know
what I mean.

2. Then, a friend of a friend who I had heard of before
by name only is a known visual artist here in Caracas,
everybody knows him which makes me nervous and he
invited me out for LA NOCHE Buena.

3. Then, the next day I meet a very distinguished
and sharp dresser, from the journalism dept at a
university in Quito Ecuador, and also writes for some
well known South American newspapers.

This had to happen all at the same time! And while none
of these people know each other personally, they are
spinning in similar circles within CAracas VEnezuela.

I just don't know what to do. It's always like this.
Time wise and everything else considered, this
is just difficult!

But some will say, but you are single and have no ties,
so just date and see who is the nicest. But
I know Latinos and if it gets around that you are simply
going for coffee with a couple of different people
around the same time they are so judgemental and get
such a wrong idea.

So what do I do. The Cubano I know and love dearly
but he is the fruta prohibida for domestic type reason's and
nothing at all to do w/politics. The other obligations
thing, so I just don't want to go there. The others
I'd like to at least sit and talk with and get to know.
But why did I have to meet them a day apart?

Conteste por favor!
