“True love is like a pair of socks: you gotta have two and they've gotta match.”

Dear Diary,

Well hopefully exciting times are ahead... Yes that feeling you get when you start to, or at least consider, dating someone again. About six months ago, or anytime you break up with someone, your world falls apart... for a while. However, time heals most wounds and having some great friends around to help boost you up is fantastic. I literally took some of their words and made it mantra for the first few days. It was needed for my survival!


So anyways, there is a opportunity [sounds way too business like] for romance again. Still early to call it dating, but considering. It's very exciting... You get butterflies in your stomach... excitement... doubt [oh yes, that too]. There's a few issues that I need to get out of my head... It's my own hang-ups [1... really]. When we talk online, I'm more than willing to REALLY try to look past it. What is this one issue? Not telling... diary you know... some that know me know... others, they don't know. :) AND... who is this Mr. Quiet? Not telling you that either... again, diary you know... some that I've talked with about this, know... others, they don't know.

I'm not going to wait and let a chance to pass by because of one previous issue. I'm also not settling. When we talk online and some of the texts [yes, we're still working on face to face, hehehe] he is very kind and very sweet. I've kind of hinted at some of my flaws or weaknesses, but it doesn't seem to bother him. I have been blunt on things I've heard and he welcomes it and my questions. He's flirtatious in what he says and what he offers. He seems to have a very calm demeanor, but that one is just my perception. He doesn't seem be a game player... and to go after what he wants. BOTH are things I appreciate.

So on that I know, I wait until Friday... for our first face to face on our own. The first two times we hung out, we've had people around, which serve their own purpose. On Friday, friends will be there again... initially. Then once they leave, we'll do our own thing... I'm super excited! Until then, hopefully we'll talk on the phone, but even if we just do FB and texts, then I'm cool with that too.

I'm just keeping the following quote in mind... Diary, trust me that there will be many more details on this developing situation ahead. Think and wish happy thoughts for me...


“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”
