(unforunately I am not one)
would you date someone who doesn't like dogs?
I'm dating someone who really really really really really likes dogs...
but I don't...
I'm more of cat person if it has to be any animal at all...
its not like I hate pets or dogs or anything but like I think dogs are cute and all but I always see it more as a "friend's dog" where its fun to play with them for a while and then at the end of the day I go home and I give them back to their owners and stuff...
I just don't imagine myself owning any pets... I grew out with out pets and htat's always how i envisioned my life
Anyway I've been having a rough time lately (school/job/family is taking a toll on me)... but the SO (we're not married yet but we are engaged) hasn't really notice and the past few times we've talked on the phone (including the last 45 mins or so) its all about dogs. SO's looking at dog pix on the internet while we are talking on the phone... so every five seconds it would like *laughter* its so cute... aww.. omg omg there's a corgi tshirt that says xxxx or omg omg this is one of the cutest things I've ever seen ***making a reference to some dog picture
MY SO is not really like a people person and I don't know... I just feel really inferior to dogs... Like I can do lots wrong, but a dog can't do anything wrong.. EVER... it poos on your bed "oh it doesn't know any better" but when I pooped on the bed... whoa then I have a problem... (no but seriously I get comments like oh dogs can't betray me but you might one day etc etc...)
AHHHHH i just don't know how to deal... If I give simple replies like oh that's nice or something then "I'm not being understanding enough" or "why is am I being cold"
but if I pretend to be interested then "I am faking it or I am being sarcastic"
there's no way to win with this!
Can dog lovers and non dog lovers date or is it just a doomed relationship until the non dog lover converts.
And the thing is, its not like I am a dog hater either, I am just lukewarm, I've never really wanted a pet and I don't think I ever will. Its the same for me and kids... I don't get what's the big deal? And I think that people are usually more respectful of the kids thing compared with the pets thing why is that?
I've been told that even if I don't want a pet, once we move in together that will be the first thing waiting for me after I get home from work, rather I like it or not.
I am just tired of being painted as such a heartless person. I don't hate dogs, I just don't find them especially endearing... its a very luke warm feeling, like I think they are nice and all but nothing that makes my heart melt or go AWWWWWW and like rub their bellies or something
