About a month ago, I decided I would try my luck again on Match.com. I’m eternally hopeful that my match is out there. I’ve been on every popular dating website you can possibly think of and here was another go ‘round. I talked with a few guys, none that really hit me that hard. I ended up going out with one guy that turned out to be bat shit crazy and I’m thankful I never heard from him again. He said he was wanted by the FBI and CIA because they thought he was a Russian spy.. there is so much more to the story and I’d rather not relive all of that so I’ll let your imaginations run wild with that. It wasn’t until I had given that about a week of wtf, really did that just happen to me, that I decided to search and wink and email my little heart away. One guy, super cute, he was a wink I sent out and I didn’t expect anything back from any of that, as that’s usually my luck.
December 31st, I got a wink, I didn’t notice it until January 1st, but I had also received an email from the same guy… WOW I thought, this is unusual.. I welcomed the response. He actually wrote me a short paragraph. This is also unusual because people don’t put too much effort into getting to know someone that way. It felt like the days before all the dating websites, when you met someone in a chat room or wherever and talked about your interests. I immediately replied… HE WAS ONLINE!! Wow. Ok.. so the first think that got me when he replied to my reply was that he changed the subject line.. yes insignificant to some.. to me.. it was splendid. Most times you get a “re: I liked your profile” in this case he was looking for his “Partner In Crime” – I loved how he phrased that and placed it as the subject. I found out this gentleman was also a cancer… and astrologically.. that can be the end of days. Two highly emotional signs can flourish or flounder. Ironically we flourished right from the beginning.
The day progressed with 9 hours of texting. Yeah.. I’ve got nothing better to do with my time than text a guy for 9 hours, how sad.. but I wouldn’t change it for the world. No regrets. During this time, we talked about our favorite places, our passions, our careers and just what makes us who we are. This wasn’t the surface, we actually got down to deeper feelings of ourselves while opening up to one another. The day left me a smitten kitten and I could not wrap my head around why things were going so well. I’ve felt this connection when I met my Rocky Mountain High about 11 years ago… it was unmistakable, I’d been here before.. but was it too good to be true?
