"Meetings"
It's just like trying to find...
a needle in a hay stack so, keep looking...
It's been several years since I've asked someone out on a date. I'm getting too old to be cute or use a fancy pick-up line (I think I'm to old -ain't I? 42 with eyes of blue) and besides, I can't think of a good one. So, like anything else when you're stuck and don't have the obvious answer, ya have to set out on a mission to learn more. Here we go...

I have been lucky to meet someone very nice. We get along well.
So often we do meet people that we enjoy being around and find their company so beneficial that being without them on a daily basis, is sometimes frustrating. As you get to know each other things sort of "wear" in and because of the comfort, you can take things for granted. And sometimes things just don't work out cause something changes or maybe the best foot forward personality comes unmasked and the truth is revealed. We all know the truth can hurt.
If you ever decide to try to start dating or establish a new relationship with someone at mid age, think again my friends. And I don't mean it's a bad thing... I mean it's worth it. If you want the easy way out, stay at home and crawl into a safe place cause dating ain't easy and it ain't safe emotionally nor is it comfortable to 'get to know someone' and go through the process.
But it is worth it. No pain no gain.
We have parted ways. Another fractured attempt at understanding "con"-existence. Onward and upward, the possibilities are endless just a little harder to discover sometimes...

It always seems to amaze me that 'one mans junk is another's treasure'. The same holds true with people and relationships. What does that mean? It means that everybody is different and what attracts some to others, turns off others to some. Get it?
It's not to say that what you don't like in a person is somebody else's junk, no, then everyone could be considered some form of trash. We know that this is not the case. It simply means that when two people hit it off for whatever reason, treasure worth searching for awaits below the surface. When they don't hit it off it's because, in almost every case, some type of feeling or thought identifies with the 'you're history baby' file, the 'junk' file, the 'lost treasure map'. Crazy but true. Self-serving in so many ways and we all do it, intentional or not we do it.
