Significant Others

I have been single for a long time.  I divorced maybe 6 years ago and really have not dated since the divorce.  On my One Page Miracle, I have had a goal to go out on dates and meet people.   Looking back, I realize that to some extent, I have been making excuses not to do that.   I made a decision that the next time a friend tried to set me up with someone, I would not decline the invitation.    So I went out with a friend’s friend.    And truthfully, after the first meeting, while I liked her immensely, I didn’t think it would be a fit.   But I we went out again and while she is not at all what I expected in terms of who I would consider dating, she is delightful and we have a really good time.  I also realized that I had set up in my mind all of these road blocks by thinking I had to find the “perfect one”   In reality, there doesn’t have to be a perfect one.   You don’t have to plan for forever to go out with someone.  So, now I find myself about 5 dates in and we have several more dates planned.   In all honesty, I doubt we are a permanent couple but you never really know that in advance anyway.   We have a wonderful time whenever we are together and we can take it one or two dates at a time.
