finally...

...as princessB blogs tonite, a change in the weather.

after not hearing from new guy (POF guy that i met) for a week, i decided before i wrote him off to text him. so i did. and i got a really sweet text back. me: enjoyed hanging out with you! him: me too, would love to meet up again so i can get off this site.

i thought. hmm. promising.

then nothing. he couldn't go see tall ships with us & nothing else.'

so i bit my nails until yesterday, when he showed up again & wanted to do dinner. so we did dinner last night.

very impressed. he reminds me of a composite of a couple exes of mine, but seems to have gotten further down the career & socialization & commitment path than either of them. so we'll see.

oddly enough, his relationship broke apart over religion, the fundamental greatest influence of my life. but fortunately i found a balance, & it seems he did too.

i'm hopeful. i got off POF anyway, before i heard back from him tuesday. just so many guys out there wanting to either waste your time (what do you do? how do you do it? when do you do it? with whom do you do it? why do you do it?) or want to hook up. i did enough of that. been there. done that. eh.

so. we'll see. i have a really good feeling about this.

and my guess is, as long as i do, he'll keep coming back. because it seems to be when i don't have a good feeling anymore that things fall apart. & the guy leaves. or i leave him. & then i want that good feeling back (that was already wrecked when i decided things wouldn't work between us, but i didn't want to admit it).

maybe i can break that cycle. or. maybe it's not me, since all these guys are either still single or - in the case of my cheater ex - unhappy now.

anyhow. here's to new beginnings...
