More dating updates
I've been dating a new guy. (Not the other guy - he got dropped like a hot potato after claiming 4 years experience lead climbing and then failing the lead test...) Met him on okcupid and then found out he's a friend's roommate - apparently the friend sent him my profile and he was going to message me but I'd seen he'd looked at my profile and pre-empted him by messaging him. (So Typical - still have never actually been asked out since I just ask them...)
Every fricking thing he says aligns.
"I just can't see getting old and valuing anything I've done like being able to say that I've raised some awesome kids."
Gawd. I'm so trying to take this a day at a time but I've Never felt like This before and Never thought I could. Here's hoping he doesn't read the internet and get scared away, but omg I'm crazy about this guy! I've got the goofiest smile on my face after 3 dates and how many emails and good GOD I was supposed to be single for a year Ali's gonna be so MAD at me!
Even if this goes south...I have so much more faith in my sister-in-law's advice/testimonial that every guy she dated before my brother just got better and better. I Know what I like and want now, and even though I thought there was a shadows chance in the desert that I'd find it all in one package I'm completely spooked out when things look like I have.
strange, but true
"even though I thought there was a shadows chance in the desert that I'd find it all in one package I'm completely spooked out when things look like I have."
Isn't it so strange how that happens? I wonder why people get spooked... Seems too good to be true, so you're thinking he must have a hidden fatal flaw, ex-con perhaps? That sense of finality, as if this could be *it*, which is creepy even though you're in your mid-20s (I'm too young!) AND because you're in your mid-20s (I'm getting old! Aren't people supposed to be making big life decisions now?)? The realization that there's no longer any excuse not to live up to your full potential?
Or, I don't know, ALL of the above? :)
I've never had much luck with swearing off dating for a set period of time... When a good thing appears, I just can't say no, and it looks like you can't either.
Have fun!
