It's amazing what happens to one's psyche when a good thing happens (and unexpected). My heart flutters and the teenage girl inside me does back flips. She glows with excitement. But then there's the mind that tries to subdue this happy teenager.
So I'm preparing for this long winter's nap but a co-worker suggested I reach out to this guy. The guy whose profile popped up on Match. The one I thought was just a profile....and while something good has happened, I must remind myself it IS, after all, still a profile. Needless to say, it was a pleasant surprise when he responded. And it wasn't some cheesy line. So, this co-worker suggested that I write back. Well, this banter goes back and forth a few times and then he agrees it would be great to catch up. Friends....my mind tells me. But the high school girl inside is ecstatic!
Lunch was great and so was the talk afterward at my house. That's where we had left off in the summer when he decided he "needed to see" if there was anything to an old love interest. He wanted to "see who I was." I was not expecting to hear what he said in the moments there are my couch. But I was listening to him say these things.....things I had only thought of. Wished for. My heart melted. Here was this guy who I really like(d) and just knew he would pop up again. Who would have thought it would be on Match!? Apologies for the way things ended in the summer.....how he handled it. My heart fluttered as if it had wings. Hearing him say he was glad I reached out to him these last weeks brought a smile to my lips. I must say it was the best Christmas present I've received in a long time.
What I had wished for, hoped for, thought about had happened! I saw us together and here he was, in my living room, admitting he thought about me. Thought about my story, what I had accomplished, how amazing that was, and the fact I cooked for him. He opened up telling me about the love interest he chose over me. And that when she told him it wasn't what she wanted and how she just left, he was stunned, but was done. In a playful way, I asked if there were any other old love interests in the wings. No.
And while I would LOVE to scratch with the plans of the long winter's nap, my mind (and friends) cautiously encourage (okay, warn or suggest) me to not abandon such plans just yet. I could actually use the time to organize my kitchen. After all, whatever plans he made and I made were before we got together again.
In the past, I have been skeptical of God's timing. When it comes to matters of the heart, I can be quite impatient. I guess I've always expected my love life to happen as the fair tales. My friends can tell me time and time again it doesn't happen that way, and yet I still wish.
And this could all be a dream! Only time will tell.....oh gosh I sound like my friends!!
Kiss someone for me Saturday night!
