Single Ladies- "Man Junkie"

Cast of VH1's Single Ladies

Tonight Stacey Dash's character on Vh1's Single Ladies, Valorie went on a "man cleanse", because she has always had to have a man.  She had had a boyfriend at all times since 7th Grade....

Ummm so...does anyone have any confessions to make? 

Are you the type who cannot be without a mate, boo, side-piece, jump-off, boyfriend or girlfriend? 

It's okay.  You can admit it.  Some people just CANNOT... REFUSE TO IMAGINE... RARELY FATHOM BEING ALONE...

Are you one of those people? Do you replace the one person you're dating, with someone who is always waiting in the wings?  Have you had trouble cutting people off? So you can always go back and pick someone up?

I call it the "two and a possible" theory.  No it is not a game of spades... More like "Just in case" this does not work out, then I have something else in store.

So I guess it works in many different ways.  I have homeboys who ALWAYS have to have some chick(s).  They cannot be without a relationship.  (I know women who have this thing with them as well.)  When they don't, they go into some mystifying withdrawal that takes them on emotional rollercoasters. 

One in particular always has more like 5 and a possible. LOL. The heavy rotation of women is hard for me to keep up with.  But I understand.

I think it lends to the notion that dating can be addictive.  So what do you think? Do you feel you can't just cut off past loves?  Or are you the type who jumps from one relationshp to the next?  Or is it that you always have someone waiting in the wings?

 Do people always enter new situations with old strings attached?  Is there something wrong with always wanting to be in a relationship?
