So…, A Few Things Here

First and foremost, I want to apologize for flirting with anyone or causing anybody at all to conjure up feelings.
And yes, I know…
I recently admitted to a small crush on a fellow user here in an attempt to be supportive and up lifting.
Even if I did try to explain its parameters I think I definitely crossed a line and I apologize to her and everyone for stepping outside my truer nature these past 2 months.

I completely understand how my words and actions here could be construed as seemingly offering myself up to romantic entanglements through the platform we all use.

But please, let me be perfectly clear with everyone.

My Heart Was Given Away to Someone just over 3 years ago and I shall not lend it or give it to any other soul but her.
That is, if she’ll still have me after how rotten and erratic I have been this past year or so.

I love SW.
I enjoy the interactions and I have real love for all the people in my circle. I love them like brothers and sisters and friends.
As human beings who deserve to laugh, smile, and are worthy of love.

I know that I type all types of things here.
Everything from erotic poetry, music of all kinds, and political rants and real life happenings.
This place is kind of like my online therapy journal with 40+ armature therapists that don't even play one on T.V.

I’ve had people of all types tell me that I don’t know how to use this place. A few tell me I use it wrong. Others come to me in messages telling me how I’m so in love with Magenta or PotH or Bex or Mindful, Champagne, and Cookie Crumbs…
And I’m all just dumbfounded and struck!

It’s gotten to a point where I’m really going to take a hard look at the way I conduct myself here. Pretty sure most of those users know I’m just kinda fucking around and being playful?

But honestly, if people are willing to hit me up in private and say these things to me then I’m giving off an entire vibe I never meant to.

SW is full of great people and a bunch of fucking weirdo’s! And hell, maybe I’m a weirdo too with the way things have gone recently?

All I can really say for sure is that I cherish this place, the interactions I have, and the circle that I keep.

But more or less this place is a repository for the rhymes and the poems. The thoughts that have nowhere else to go. A place where I can just hang and say stupid shit without anyone reading too far into it.

And all of the sudden it’s shifted somehow by a dozen different factors and only a few of which I touch upon with these words that I type here.

Still here I am typing. Trying to explain to anyone who has the mental bandwidth to read something this long and try to understand it gently….

I’m not here for love.
I’m not in love with anyone or trying to actively make anyone fall in love with me.

My deepest and sincerest apologies to anyone that ever thought otherwise or took my harmless (in my mind) flirtatious nature in any manner that suggests that I want them or anyone else.

Even my admitted crush, despite being a very lovely, beautiful, and wonderful person, wasn’t ever really a thing for me more than a overwhelming admiration of her and the way she handles herself and underestimates her own self worth at times. To her I owe an extra apology because I’m certain that I tainted the way she looks at me now, and all I ever really wanted was to be a kind and caring friend to her.


So this is all that and I hope I have done an adequate enough job of explaining to everyone that cares to try and understand it.

Yeah, I love ya !
Just not like that.
For me that kind of love is quite likely past my grasp even as I sit here reaching and clawing at it.

All is not lost in that quite yet.
But yeah, She’s the only Her that will ever hold a key that I will let slip into the lock I placed upon my heart.

I typed all of this without anger and absent of any ill regard or malice.
I just want to set my record straight in an open and honest fashion.

Be well
Live happy
Keep trying,
Rob

For the record, I do not think you're in love with me. Just sayin'. You have a very open hearted spirit, and I guess someone can see it as being flirtatious, I'm sorry if it offends anyone but I do enjoy knowing a joyful person who is open to multiple friendships because that means his heart is not set on mine. My heart is also elsewhere. You being friendly to so many people just means I shouldn't take you seriously. You're just a social butterfly. Since people who don't know me are unclear about me, I want to state that I'm clear that I'm married via DM, to be clear I'm NOT seeking another partner, and that someone is also NOT seeking that before ongoing posts that if we interact here it's just as dear friends. I do struggle with depression and so I do respond to people who equally respect my marriage. My husband knows I'm here. Luckily he understands why I'm here-- socially and emotionally, and he accepts my friendly way of being. I'm so glad that he does. I consider myself blessed in that department. I consider myself blessed that there are several people here who actually do respond to me. As for you, I see you as -- you're kind of a "YouTube" personality but instead you're here on SimWorlds. Noted: You're into someone else and I think that's awesome. You're both lucky. I am happy for you. If my post I'd offensive I can delete it. Just say so.

@Mindful Never delete this.
I am both happy and proud to be a friend to you and I enjoy our friendship as it is.

We have both been very clear with each other that neither of us are open to romantic entanglements and that's what allowed us to become very good friends in a relatively short time.

I enjoy the things we talk about and our public interactions.
Thank you for placing your honesty here on full display.
I appreciate you.

Beautifully put. Give yourself some grace you are a good human trying your best 🙂
HikingMan · 56-60, M
@CatCatKittie I’d like to think so anyway.
Thank you
So ...the marriage proposal you made to me wasn't real? 😭...I'm joking btw ...some take this place too seriously at times ...

I completely respect your open and honest posts ....it's rare anyone on here is either
HikingMan · 56-60, M
@Chern0bylplaygr0unds I want to marry everyone… 🤪

Thanks.
It is very amusing at times the types of things people will choose to say to me here. Other times not so much.
🙄

I do try to be honest and honorable. I know I can’t really control anyone else’s perceptions, but I can post something like this to have my side of it all as clear as possible.

Thanks for your thoughts and friendship.
Some people need to get their seriousness fixed.
HikingMan · 56-60, M
@NudasPriest Ya I do....
I just hate misunderstandings is all.

Peace to ya.

I think this is the first time we've ever interacted directly?
But I've seen you around and find you to be a pretty cool person.
Made me laugh more than once.

Not that you care what I think...
🤪
@HikingMan Thanks man. Yeah, misunderstandings are easy online. Well done for writing this, and I hope it clears things up for people.
HikingMan · 56-60, M
@NudasPriest Me too!
If you could see some of the things in my inbox...
Christ Almighty...
I feel like taking a bath in holy water, but I'm not sure if holy water stays holy if you heat it to 114 degrees. and add bubbles?

I read all of this and respect you for being open and honest. A lot of people struggle to admit their faults and wrongdoings. In saying that, I’d also say to try and not worry about what others think of you, especially on here. The people who care about you know the real you and they’d understand your joking nature and your intentions on here. That’s all that matters.
HikingMan · 56-60, M
@KissMyAxe I appreciate your reply.
I don't really care what random people think as much as I care about how I present myself to the friends I have here.
KissMyAxe · 31-35, F
@HikingMan I can understand that, but the friends you have should know your heart and who you are.
Magenta · F
Lol, even if it were true that you felt that way about us, how is it any of their business? Some here really need to go outside and see the real world, feel the sun, breathe fresh air.

Candid and genuine you are, and a decent human. It's appreciated. ☺
HikingMan · 56-60, M
@Magenta I’ve known you forever and have always tried to treat you with respect, kindness and friendship.

We’ve had a lot of laughs over the years and shared some pretty excellent times on here

Thank you for always being kind and genuine with me.
I for one have never taken anything funny or flirty seriously. Not sure where anyone even got that idea. Casual flirting here is harmless fun and doesn't mean anything that people make it out to be
HikingMan · 56-60, M
@Bexsy Thank you for chiming in here on this and I'm sorry I felt the need to put your name in here at all.
I enjoy our interactions and I think you're fucking awesome!
