so....
I did something
I rarely do...
in fact almost never!
I went on a date..
a real date!
dinner...
and then when the date
went well,
a movie.
It was nice.
Nice person...
easy conversation...
just nice..
easy...
NOT so bad.
Not sure where it will go..
maybe nowhere...
maybe somewhere....
but, I know
that this event that I avoid
was not nearly
as worth avoiding
as I imagined.
Part of the easiness
of the evening,
came when I realized
I am in control.
I can see this person again,
if he would like..
and I can see him often..
if we both choose...
and I can remain
uncommitted
as long as I am honest..
or I can choose to
get involved..
if we are both on the same
page..
or I can choose to walk away,
as can he!
There is no
pressure...
unless I allow it!
There is no decision
to be made...
unless, I choose
to be a part of it!
So,
a date became a date..
and a second date
..well...
still a date...
and a date with another?
still a date..
A word
that only carries as much
weight
as you allow it too..
when you decide it should.
Yes! Take the pressure off and enjoy anothers' company! Relax and just enjoy the simple things!!

Nice! Getting back in the saddle is sometimes more stressful up to the point that you actually DO it. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteA great post. I've been thinking about whether I should start dating again but I've been getting all worried about pushing too fast, pushing too slow or whatever.
ReplyDeleteBut, your attitude has inspired me (although, I'll probably still chicken out!).
