"everything happens for a reason".....my friend said to me. And inside, I know that this is true.
I was starting to get those butterflies in my stomach again...you know the ones that come to visit when a new relationship is just starting out? Yeah, those ones. I had met who I thought was this fantastic guy. A lot of what I had always dreamt of. A pilot (my childhood dream), handsome, passionate, romantic, funny, articulate.....we shared a lot in common right off the bat. And this all before we had even met. Yes, online dating can be a powerful thing. He was going to fly in to see me on the island....how romantic! to have our first dinner date. I was thrilled, nervous...did I say I was nervous.....an understatement! I hadn't dated for a while since I had been in a relationship (engaged, in fact). But I was feeling great! Then suddenly, my pilot got cold feet. There was some baggage that he thought was all squared away...but alas, he needed to slow down and wasn't sure he was ready for the plunge. Honestly, there was too much pressure put on our first meeting. It's just a date! However, the possibility I was conjuring up in my head of flying into the sunset...was slowly fading away. It ended before anything even really began. The lesson learned from all this? Not to ignore my instincts, realizing that my past relationship really wasn't meant to be, I am attractive, I have great friends and I am blessed! Now...need to find my next pilot...!
