So…

by

So. When are we settling? when someone doesn’t meet our standards? when we’re just not “into” it, or them? When we find ourselves out with someone but our mind (or our eyes) wander towards another?

I told you I fell for someone a couple of months ago, while I was visiting “home.” Bad timing… I had to leave to come back to my job…his father passed on… overall, not an ideal situation. Especially for a not-even budding relationship.

Well, at his request, I informed him that I’m going to be back for a few days next month…and he responds saying hopefully we can hang out…and by the way, he has a free roundtrip ticket and if he doesn’t use it at thanksgiving, is thinking of visiting me….. So. What do I make of this… It’s scary because our status (I don’t even know what to call it, because it’s really not much of anything other than a whole lot of feeling matched with a whole lot of faith) is bipolar going from nil to 360 in no time flat. Of course I’m reading too much into it. Doesn’t every girl? …

I think part of the reason I can’t give anyone else a fighting chance right now is because I’m hung up a lil bit. And I’m okay with it.

About Dating Outlook

What's not to like about dating? Plenty. The awkwardness, the drama and starting all over again (and again...) until we find that special someone. However, there are some pretty great things about dating and if nothing else, hopefully you meet some great people along the way. Stick around for some not so humble opinions, reflections and thoughts about the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous woes of dating.
