Full Version: David's Honesty about dating
I am new to this entire genre. I became a Cook fan because he gave me back something I lost. The pleasure of music. I had been reduced to talk radio. David brought me back to something I loved and lost. For this I will be forever a Cook fanatic.
I think I know something of life that most of you don't. You see I am a Stage 4 Cancer survivor. I know what it means to not know if this is your last day, week, season, or holiday. I have come to appreciate all the ups and downs life throws at us.
I see where those of you who are upset about Kim are coming from. You feel so personally vested in David that many of you may have lost the line between fandom and fantasy. Fantasy is a GREAT place. Nothing can and no one can be as good as our fantasy has created them. that is what makes it so satisfying. Do you want him to suffer until the day he meets you? If that ever happens? Of course not. I don'twon't believe that any of you are cruel.
I'll bet most of you who are angry have not been alone for the last 10 months. You have husbands, boyfriends and dates. David has not. He has chosen to be upfront about having a "date". Why ? Because he is open and honest. He leaves his feelings on the table. We can feel that everytime he sings or looks into that camera. He did not hide the fact that he was lonely during idol. He has even mentioned being alone BEFORE idol. I ached for his loneliness.
He had a date, maybe he'll have a few more with her. He had fun and felt good about himself. It was a date, a meal. maybe it was intimate, maybe not. He is single and heterosexual girls. Where I am from that is a ...rare. Just ask my daughter.
What is so terrible about a 25 year old single man having a date with a 25 year old single women? It does not matter whether you like her hair or her style. For the record she is from small town Texas, not that it matters. Love is not about control. If you try and control someone, you will never know love completely.
I miss him tonight bringing us a style and a mix we never expected. I miss the thrill of the vote. I am damned glad he won. I won, we all won last Wednesday night. If you are a true David Cook lover, then show your love and your support. He needs you as much tomorrow as he did last week

I couldn't have said it better. That was extremely touching and it's very brave of you to openly discuss being a survivor. Good luck with everything the future holds for you.
This was extremely well said and it definitely makes a lot of sense. Just like you said, fantasy is a great place... I really don't think many people would survive this thing we call life without it.
And as far as showing support goes -- Amen to that. He's definitely going to need his fans now, just as much as he did throughout the entire idol journey... if not for the fact that the road he's about to travel is going to be cruel and tiresome, then for the fact that we don't want him to be another forgotten artist.

You made me cry! You were able to say everything in this post i've been thinking and trying to say. I'm glad that David was able to make you fall in love with music all over again. He actually helped me LIKE myself and LOVE myself again which i didn't think could happen. He gave me my life back with his honesty, fierce protectiveness over his family, and his passion for his gift. I am happy for David and i want him to be happy in life. If he wants to date Kim, if she makes him happy, i'm all for it.
Your right, fantasy is a great place 
(see siggy lol) I think David & Kim are a good couple. They have so much in common with Idol and she's very pretty.

I totally agree 100% with you here. Can I also get an Amen too??? Christina
I completely agree with you. David can't be everyone's boyfriend (as amazing as that would be lol jk, jk). So why dwell on what you can't change? Be happy for the man! He's been practically secluded for the last year of his life.
I couldn't be any happier for him.

Die-hard DC fans unite!
Yah-hoo! Can we start bashing the "stalk"arazzi that are already hounding him about this? ONE date and already it's on the People webpage. GIVE THE MAN A BREAK!
I love everything that you wrote here. You put so many of my thoughts into words. Thank you.
I think we all miss him so much tonight, it just plain makes us ache! (But it sure was great to see him on Ellen and Regis this morning!)

I knew people were going to hate from the start, but I decided to be reasonable,
this is a good thing guys, for him. And really that's all that matters
Whether you feel it's wrong and bitch and complain about, it doesn't change a single thing.
I'm happy for him, I think she's actually really pretty and has a great personality :]

I agree with all ofthis except for I have been alone for the last 10 months and much much much much etc.. longer! and I'm lonely too. This has nothing to do with him but you know some of us are in that situation, I have no point, I just wanted to say that

well if you had shown KC a pic of David at the omaha try-outs she might have said "uhmmm no" but thanks to the wonderful Idol people....David grew in confidence and found out he was the hottie he is....
you can just see what Idol and the fangirls gave him....a man feeling like he is worthy and special enough to ask a girl out and feel like he deserves the best....he was obviously not that man in Omaha...
so yeah for him...and yeah for all the fangirls who wrote about him...you gave him that gift of confidence.

just to add something to the fantasy aspect, wouldn't it be more fun for people to think that when he meets them that person is so wonderful that all other women pale in comparrison? it's easy to snag a single lonely guy, that's how i always thought of it with my crushes growing up
very well said!!! amen!!
Well said, hear hear!
You made me cry too!, and brought it all into perspective. I really miss him tonight also (and that's not just the red wine and my husband being out of town talking!). He touched us all in a way that i keep calling a phenomenon, but I think it's true. When was the last time that a celebrity touched so many people in such an enormous way? Maybe John Lennon or Paul McCartney? I try to explain it to my friends (who all think I have gone crazy-seriously!) and they just don't get it. Unless you have been bitten by the Cookie bug, i don't think you will. Thanks for sharing your story.
Amen, hear hear, Roger that, and that's a big 10-4!
And bless you for being a survivor, my dear.
And bless you for being a survivor, my dear.
I definitely agree. Yes, I was slightly upset about it when I first heard. Then I felt stupid. I see him as just another person. He started off as just another person, and he's still that person today. He has as much right as the next normal person to be with someone, to not be lonely, to find companionship. He deserves it. I would love to meet him more than anything, and get a chance to strike up a conversation with him. Will it ever happen? Probably not. But I love him in my own way and I want him to be happy. She may not be my personal choice for him but only he knows what he wants and needs. And I don't know her personally anyway, nor do I know him. I only hope she makes him happy and doesn't hurt him, I never ever want to hear of him hurting. He's definitely done something for me, it's kinda hard to explain. But what he gave me all these weeks I watched him, is something I really needed and I will forever be grateful and always be a fan, I'll support him no matter what.
And I wish you the best of luck. I know others who have battled cancer, you are braver than most and I give you credit for being strong and for letting a person like David have that effect over you. He's been so good for all of us in so many ways, why hurt him by bashing this? Let him have this, he's done so much for us, hasn't he? He deserves this.

I think of all of the fans that have commented on the KC stuff and recent events, you've laid it out the best and I thank you for that. I'll keep to myself my own personal opinions on her but I really like how you worded everything, it's so true.
congratulations on being a survivor, I wish you all the best.

I am new to this entire genre. I became a Cook fan because he gave me back something I lost. The pleasure of music. I had been reduced to talk radio. David brought me back to something I loved and lost. For this I will be forever a Cook fanatic.
I think I know something of life that most of you don't. You see I am a Stage 4 Cancer survivor. I know what it means to not know if this is your last day, week, season, or holiday. I have come to appreciate all the ups and downs life throws at us.
I see where those of you who are upset about Kim are coming from. You feel so personally vested in David that many of you may have lost the line between fandom and fantasy. Fantasy is a GREAT place. Nothing can and no one can be as good as our fantasy has created them. that is what makes it so satisfying. Do you want him to suffer until the day he meets you? If that ever happens? Of course not. I don'twon't believe that any of you are cruel.
I'll bet most of you who are angry have not been alone for the last 10 months. You have husbands, boyfriends and dates. David has not. He has chosen to be upfront about having a "date". Why ? Because he is open and honest. He leaves his feelings on the table. We can feel that everytime he sings or looks into that camera. He did not hide the fact that he was lonely during idol. He has even mentioned being alone BEFORE idol. I ached for his loneliness.
He had a date, maybe he'll have a few more with her. He had fun and felt good about himself. It was a date, a meal. maybe it was intimate, maybe not. He is single and heterosexual girls. Where I am from that is a ...rare. Just ask my daughter.
What is so terrible about a 25 year old single man having a date with a 25 year old single women? It does not matter whether you like her hair or her style. For the record she is from small town Texas, not that it matters. Love is not about control. If you try and control someone, you will never know love completely.
I miss him tonight bringing us a style and a mix we never expected. I miss the thrill of the vote. I am damned glad he won. I won, we all won last Wednesday night. If you are a true David Cook lover, then show your love and your support. He needs you as much tomorrow as he did last week

And in the end this is what it is truly all about. I want to add, if you don't mind, I send my love to you. I understand going through cancer is quite the agonizing ordeal. I can only assume the struggle it's been, but knowing you are OK and that you are hopefully doing much better is a wonderful thing. No doubt each day means that much more. You are obviously a very strong person to share such an intimate and private ordeal. I thank you for being so open and honest. You are helping all of us to keep in mind there are bigger things going on around us, even as we speak and whether or not David is dating someone really shouldn't be one of them. It just solidifies the fact that all the bickering and arguments should have no real existence in our lives. I really appreciate that although you are helping us to see that this isn't something we should worry about, that you are also taking into consideration those who have really felt "hurt" by this whole thing. Lost in the shuffle of so much back and forth a lot of emotions are being played out and people are, in the end, hurting each other.
I truly believe David's desire is to bring all of us together. It was shown in the overall support of him and the meshing of EVERYONE; whether a DC fan, a DA fan, or whoever during his win. It's stories like this which help us to see the real universal appeal of music and of a musician as a whole. They really do have the power to unite (hey look at all of us). In reading all I have over the last 2 weeks or whatever it has been (I've lost track lol) I can see that so many have a pure sense of admiration for this guy. He's been able to affect people in ways I haven't seen in a LONG time. He reaches people to their core. I mean come on, he's made the life of a young little girl, enduring probably the worst struggle she's had to face, just a that much more happier, by simply wearing a bracelet (which he didn't have to but his heart motived him to do something nice, that says a lot). He's shead tears no doubt for all emotions played out during idol, but I'm sure his family [brother] is always in the back of his mind. He's made it a point to be honest and forthright. He shared the spotlight of his win with his ENTIRE group of idol friends. He's done nothing but try to be everything to everyone in a time when he should be relishing his win.... But yet here we are trying in the midst of Armageddon because of a girl? after all that, just because a girl. Does it make sense? honestly? I don't know.
If we just stop and remember what it's all about I think it'll become clear. Echoing what was previously said. It's stories such as written that we should focus on. The impact David is making in a more personal sense. The way he's bring joy to hearts of people who he's never met but yet people he wants to know that he has a "relationship" with. I think that in itself says it all.

Spot on - David may, somehow, have unleashed my long dormant inner 14 year old fangirl (I'm 41 BTW) but my love and respect for him is such I'll be nothing but delighted when/if he finds the girl for him
Amen to that!
And wow, Carcinoma Survivor Stage IV! *gives you a salute* Yes, I believe you when you say you understand; it's not a club you can understand until you're in it.

I've been peeking around this forum for a long time now. I've done the BBS thing in the past for fandoms but moved away from them awhile ago, to much drama, nothing to say. THIS thread, however, sucked me into a MUST join vortex that I wasn't able to fend off. WELL SAID! Make me go all teary eyed and stuff!
& For the record I severly missed him Tuesday night as well!

Yeah, I'm not going to get all crazy jealous. I mean, he can't wait around forever for me, right? He deserves a break. A little correction though, Kimberly is not from a small town in Texas. She is from Katy, TX, which I just moved from. I liked her in season 2 because she was from the town I was living in. Well, if you drive 5 minutes down the road, you are in Houston, TX, so Katy is just a suburb of Houston, and Houston is no small town! It comes after only NY, LA, and Chicago for population!

I love you for this post.
You summed up everything I was TRYING to get across.
I don't want to say too much because I said I wouldn't comment on this subject any longer.
but...
THANK YOU
Well said... kudo's to you!
My hat off to you Witch for a great post and for sharing your cancer battle. I hope and pray for the best for you. You can teach us all life lessons.
As far as David and Kimberly go- I tuned into her pre Idol show occasionaly and throughout most (if not all) of the season she was a big DC fan. I thought it was so sweet and romantic that he asked her out on finale/results night. It made me like him even more actually. This anger or whatever toward Kimberly is one of the downsides of celebrity. This instant fame has to be very difficult for a guy who a year ago operated in virtual obscurity. I think DC is grounded enough to handle it but it has to suck to have no private life anymore. David has most graciously acknowledged his debt to his fans, but as his fans, we owe it to him to know when to draw the line too.

Wow. Thats awesome. and true. lol
I love how we are able to see the honesty in David, and how real he seems to be. To many people in Hollywood today say what their fans want them to say. And I hope David will keep telling th truth, and not what his "fangirls" want. Thats a trait I am begining to love about him. So please, David, although it might seem like it will hurt your female fans, just tell it like it is. Its the best way.
The true fans will always be by your side to support you. and I also love your name "witch"
Great post. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. You are so right about David, I personally think it is wonderful that he has found someone that he has so much in common with. In this day and age that is rare. I wish him and Kimberly nothing but the best. His music is what is most important, the other is just gravy. Again, thanks for reminding us all that there is more to life.
THis is the Thing. Thanks anyway.
God meant you to live longer. God bless you.

I have been a bit taken back at his honesty too. How open he is to the public.
I am worried about all the paparazzi and how he is getting hounded by it. I hope this doesn't hurt him. I don't really want him to change.
That's why I think this site is doing great! Good job, wordnerds!

We are going to have to face it sooner or later......the man won't be single forever!!! *thud*

Beautifully said...I love him for the man he is....Miss watching him perform every week, there's an emptiness only he can fulfill. Will be supporting him no matter what...Godbless...
I think you hit the nail on the head, completely agreeing with you.
I actually enjoy listening to him talk about his date. He's like a high school boy, he blushes, and gets all shy. It's absolutely adorable.

eternally single! yep thats me!
i went to this site just this morning and was saddened how his "so-called" fans keep bashing him on dating caldwell. well, for me, i dont know personally Kim, i heard about her, but thats it, i havent met her-so why would i judge her? and obviously, evidently, she makes our cookie happpy, i cannot do something about it, but just be happy for him too.
Honestly, i am a bit of jealous too-i refused to watch the videotape in TMZ-but then again, i cant do something about it, my fantasies are just made to be just fantasies.
i love David so much and respect him for who he is-from who he dates,and etc,etc. and yes, for his being open about his personal life- he is still new to this stuff and i still think he still treats himself as the same guy whom we knew during the first audition.
and to witch, you are a strong woman. my prayers are with you.
