Star crossed (first) loves

by Sandy

My point is, my life would be a lot different right now if I would have gone ahead and married him. I can say that I would be miserable.

What I once thought would have been a fairy-tale of a love story of “star-crossed lovers,� was in reality the first real wake-up call of reality in my life. The end made me swear off men let alone marriage for a good couple of years. Ultimately, I got over it and it helped me wise up.

I realize now the differences in what I like and do not like in men and can pinpoint compatibility almost immediately. Call it intuition, call it a gut feeling, I can honestly say I know in the first three minutes I meet someone one-on-one if I would have enough interest to see them again in a non-platonic setting.

For those of us who aren’t fortunate enough to find the love of our lives in high school (or college for that matter), hopefully, we can go through a few who at the very least teach us something about ourselves.

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.
