I want to be what you need


It's the thought of it that turns me on.

I think many of the people who blog here have the same thing in mind. Yes some are looking for a lifetime partner, and others, at the other end of the scale, are looking for a one night stand.

But the people I am drawn to, and, I think, many of the people who seem to like reading my blog, have something somewhere in between in mind. Someone who understands the transient, on / off nature of our needs. Someone who doesn't want a one off, but isn't looking for someone who needs 24 hour attention either. Someone who just instinctively understands what we need. And knows how to tell us what they need too. Someone who might still feel the same way a year from now even if we haven't communicated much since then.

Where it's all about the sex, the giving in to desire, the dirty magic, the skankery.........and yet there is a softness, an understanding - we kind of love each other too.

Someone to share the hopes and fears with, but someone who knows how to get us throbbing with desire, and wants to do that, for us. Sometimes I feel like I really want to do that for you.

I haven't been feeling sexy recently. But then someone here reminded me of what I liked about her in the first place, and I remembered what it feels like. I started thinking......what if........she wouldn't make things difficult would she.....? Maybe if we could just talk..........?

In between the dark and the light, you know. Of course you know.

Why do I suddenly find myself humming that old Wayne Fontana tune "Groovy Kind of Love," only with new lyrics?....."baby you and me got a skanky kind of love."

Ha haaaa, that's making me smile now.

Hi Lala, very nice to see you here.

And Ah well yes, I apologise, I suppose there is a kind of assumption of prior knowledge in this post, which only someone who has been reading my posts carefully for a very long time would have. And even then neither they nor I would probably be completely sure what I mean, unless they just....kind of got it somehow.

To cut a long story short I seem to have developed this fantasy of some kind of kind of long-term, on/off, mutually-loving, friends-with-benefits type relationship, but I know that in real life I actually tend to be more of a full on one woman man type of guy. Either I would want more than I originally started out wanting, or I would find I disliked myself for not being able to always be there for someone who cared about me, even if they didn't want me to always be there. (I know it sounds complicated, but you are asking me to explain something I don't understand that well myself, lol. ) Anyway, it isn't so much anything "she" would do that would be a problem, but her presence in my life might be........

Funnily enough, I think the truth about relationships is that even if you have clearly communicated and understood, and you both think your expectations are a match, they may turn out not to be. And on the other side of that coin, when the instinctive understanding of each other - that mental chemistry, whatever it is, just clicks - then clear communication and the managing expectations suddenly becomes superfluous. You just know.

That's really interesting and I think I agree with a lot of what you are saying. For sure what feels like instinctive understanding can hide a lot of misunderstanding! And yes, lots of times, we simply haven't heard what the other person is really telling us, or one or other of us hasn't dared to be completely truthful. I'm not saying that doesn't happen. I agree, a self centred attitude can lead people to try to manipulate their partner into a pre-conceived image, although I am pretty sure that at least isn't one of my own faults........

But haven't you ever experienced that feeling when you get into a relationship that your expectations start to change? You might start off thinking you were just friends and then fall in love. Or you might go for a one night stand and then find you can't stay away from someone. You may go on a date and not really like them much, but then you see them again and they begin to grow on you. Or you may find out something over time which you could never have seen to start with, which makes that person an impossible partner for you. Don't your hopes and expectations change as you get to know someone?

In any case, I think most people are really not very good at actually knowing what their expectations really are, which can often be what leads to a breakdown in compatibility.

well... i had a response written... almost finished it... and my mom wants me to show her how to buy things online. so now. two hours later. i don't remember what i said anymore. except that - what you said:

Where it's all about the sex, the giving in to desire, the dirty magic, the skankery.........and yet there is a softness, an understanding - we kind of love each other too.

Someone to share the hopes and fears with, but someone who knows how to get us throbbing with desire, and wants to do that, for us. Sometimes I feel like I really want to do that for you.


... totally understand every bit of it.

i think the reason expectations change, is because we change. we get better at listening to ourselves and our uniqueness and get better at figuring out what we can give and what we need. That makes it harder to find someone to clank with, but when you do, it's more satisfying. and for some odd reason, 'satisfying' isn't related to time. just one meeting, with the right person, could fill you up for the rest of your life!

or, at least, i imagine it will... lol

so, stop thinking so much, and do some talking. you're much better at handling difficulties than you used to be when you were a teenager. the best thing about being as old as we are is, we can pick and choose the best of all the years that have passed. We can be silly, and playful, jump in the mud, roll in the grass, and still be perfectly responsible and respectable adults. lol

Not walking away, but not compromising either, and attempting to force a change on the other person - yes, I agree, that can happen. And of course you are right about how not being willing to walk away can be a problem. It can be because of a fear of failure, or a genuine desire to make things work, or a inability to face life a lone, or it can be controlling and vindictive.

But I find myself less sure that expectations, even core ones, shouldn't change. Although in fact I think I don't ever really have any expectations. I try to see people for who they are, for what is important to them, and for what they mean to me, and I find I respond accordingly. And if I have particular feelings for someone, I may hope they reciprocate, and I may hope that they behave in all the ways I would like them to, but I don't expect them to. And of course often they don't!

I think if I find someone who I love for who they are and they bring out the best in me, then any expectations I might have had just get totally forgotten and the relationship creates its own form.

Maybe the expectations happen when what we are actually trying to do is to create some fantasy ideal we have in our heads out of a real life person? Which might be what you picked up on in this post, because of course that's what this post is about. I'm not sure if any amount of prior communication can solve that problem, lol.

we've just invented a perfect phrase! you think it might eventually make it's way to the urban dictionary?? i don't want it to though. i kinda like feeling like no one else in the world knows about it. well. i suppose your other friendly fans do, if they read everyone else's posts... but still.

but now i have a question. enlighten me about the difficulties of clankery! other than, of course, finding the right person to clank with.

oh, wait... i just thought of one major difficulty. when building relationships online, the biggest hindrance to stress-free clankery, is distance. that's a very depressingly, big one...

Oh, and of course I don't suggest that anyone should put up with behaviour they consider unacceptable just because they love someone - that wasn't what I meant at all.

Well, as you can see BiggLala also seems to be a fan of the word "clank."

And I believe it was you who invented the word, not me! Don't worry, I will never hear that word again without thinking of you.

Distance can be a problem of course, although I have occasionally found it can also be a facilitator, (as you know yourself if I remember rightly.... )

As to my difficulties, well there is the continuing one which I think I have told you about, and then, (as if that wasn't enough) there is my reaction to temptation to be considered. And with a true clank, there is always temptation isn't there?

well... your post was the trigger for the invention of clank! lol and then you said 'someone to clank with' was making you smile and now it's got a tune in my head. the song is 'someone to dance with' or 'no myth' but in my head, i'm hearing 'someone to clank with'. lol

and, yes, i'm still feeling the effects of my long distance 'relationship'. lol i guess, those 'effects' i'm feeling are the temptations? ok. they are strong temptations. sigh.

i still feel like there's an answer. lol
