Ugh

by

Everyone knows that long-distance sucks.

About three months ago, when I was visiting my hometown in the midwest (I currently live in SoCal) I sorta fell for this guy who did everything right. We’ve been keeping in contact every couple of weeks and this morning’s conversation revolved around my next visit…in about two weeks for my mother’s birthday.

Mom contends that she’d be happy to forfeit time spent with me if it means I’m off spending time with a suitable gent. Especially if it (as she crosses her fingers) means I’d fall madly in love and maybe, just maybe make my way home (or at least to Chicago).

I’m a little nervous…anxious…full of anticipation. Part of me really wants to have a great follow-up second date…another part of me is scared to death and wants to avoid the situation altogether. Honestly, I wonder if it’s worth pursuing at all… he’s stuck where he is as he’s a teacher and also finishing up his master’s degree. And truth be told, I’m in a pretty comfortable spot myself.

I don’t really have a reason to leave San Diego …yet.

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.
