I guess it’s cliché to say he took my breath away but he did. I stared at his photo for long moments trying to decide if I would reach out and if so what I would say. Who would have thought at this age I’d be so intimidated to start a mere conversation with a man.
I had a ten minute long conversation with myself that went from expressing my insecurities to building up my confidence. Needless to say, I got up the nerve to reach out and all I said was “Wow.” It was an icebreaker. In that wow was an I’m checking you out and I like what I see. To my delight he responded immediately and I had his attention.
We fell into conversation that flowed easily with no awkwardness. He was a gentleman and it came across in his conversation. He complimented me without any sexual undertones (because yeah, that’s a thing in this new world of dating). He asked questions and he answered my questions with blunt honesty.
It turns out the initial attraction was mutual. I was ecstatic to find we had many things in common. We both had pretty solid ideas of what we wanted and that heightened our connection . I was eager to meet him face to face. I felt as if that would help me determine if he was someone I could really vibe with. But we had a dilemma. He was in one state and I in another.
I had to laugh at the situation. Fate has a way of throwing in an ingredient that makes absolutely no sense at times. Now we were faced with a decision. Do we make plans to meet and see where things could go? Or do we let distance be the deciding factor?
What do you when meeting Mr. or Ms. Possible is a serious challenge? Do you take the risk? I considered the investment of time, energy and money and I was left asking myself and others, “Can long distance relationships work?”
Stay Tuned…
