I lost a girl to pool years ago, she put up with me for about 3 years and then was done-I dont blame her one bit, sure I was hurt, but I was young and it was a great lession. Find a girl that will tollerate me as I am. That took another 11 or 12 years.
When I met Kelly I was honest about EVERYTHING up front, I told her I was a pool player and pool is a life style, it can consume all your time, I was in remission when we met. I dont think she fully understood what I meant-but on several occasions I did tell her about sleeping at a poolroom cause your too tired to go back to the room/car to sleep, its a tough grind. the whole bit. I also told her I was going to start playing someday, I just took some time off to do other things but pool was sin my blood since I can remeber.
When I started playing again, she didnt mind. She has never ever once asked me to stop playing, or called me and said "When are you comming home" when I was gone for weeks doing my thing-I flew her out to be with me. In 10 years together we never have had one argument, we have got mad at each other. The rare occasion we do its for a hour or 2, maybe 6 times in 10 years. I'm the luckiest man alive, I created alot of my luck though, I told other girls about pool and when I could see they couldnt fade it, I passed on them until Kelly.
She wont hit a ball, but loves cues and is knowlegeable about them, we look at cue pics together, I tell her about constuction, woods, etc. She digs it i can tell, She likes alot of my player friends. She is picking up pool fast-so we have fun with it together even though she dosent play.
I'm so blessed to have a girl who dosent mind how long I play, day after day with no complaints-ever. She gives me alot of room and I do the same for her, I dont ignore her, we do alot together, since I work at home we are together alot,so pool is our away part like work is for most people.
i'm writing this because I just drove in from LA and drank too many Red Bulls, LOL.
It is possible to have a girl and play pool, you just have to find the right girl and tell everything upfront, its easier to lose them fast than after you fall in love with the wrong girl. I learned that the hard way. No girl is better than the wrong girl. When you get the right girl take care of her. I dont shower her with gifts(I despise gold diggers), give your woman security and a sence of direction and let her know how important she is to you and why you want to be with her, A girl that responds to that is the right one. The wrong one willsay "When will you take me shopping?". Never is my reply-wrong girl. If you have to spend $$ to make a girl happy wrong girl.
the good ones are out there, but you have to look and turn down alot of them to find the rite one. And stay strong-if that means being lonely for 10 years so be it, thats better than a horrible relationship and a divorce. If its worth having its worth waiting/fighting for. Fighting your weakness to fall for the wrong girl cause your lonely. Stay strong and the right girl will be attracted to that quality in a man, they dont like or respect dogs who just chase tail. And believe me the girls can see that a mile away, your knocking your action if they sence that. Self confidence is what the girls want in a man, that I promis you.
i think i need sleeping pills red bull has me wired
