I broke my online-dating dry spell. It was only a matter of time... and I thought I would never do it again. (The last date I went on was months ago. I took one look at the guy and thought "I'm never doing this again". Oh, I'm so melodramatic)
So what was key to making this date happen? The guy lives on the other side of the country: he's only in town through tomorrow to work on a project. Ding-ding! If he's nothing like how he seemed in his emails, I won't feel guilty about ditching him! It sounds cruel but it's true: there is comfort in knowing the let-down would be easy.
But you know when you have a feeling about someone? And it turns out to be right? And it's surprising but at the same time, not all that surprising?
Well, I bit the bullet and met my Cali-buddy on a whim Sunday afternoon. Let me tell you: it was really, really, really nice to hang out with someone new who was fun and normal and cool and straight-forward and relaxed.
I love the whole "Hey, I'm free today. Are you free? Wanna hang? Sure. How about right now? Let's do it!" Don't you?
For the record, he didn't steal my heart. But maybe he could one day.
