{chance}

Oh but it is easy… finding him isn’t easy, but being with him should absolutely be!  So, funny thing is that I had a date right before I decided to go one my “dating diet” and while I didn’t really write about said date, it has turned out to be my chance to say “hello love.”  The date itself wasn’t good.  And I didn’t think I wanted to see him again, but I went for date number 2… and I am so very happy I did.  Because…

Hello love… heeeellllloooo love… oh my goodness… hello LOVE?!?!?!?  This feels like the first time that I have said hello and actually given it a chance.  I am not forcing it, I am not wishing it to be something that it isn’t or wont be, and I’m not afraid of it.  It is simply nice… and easy… and enjoyable… and fun… and effortless… and genuine.  I want to spend as much time possible with him, and I miss him when he is gone, and none of it is overwhelming.  It doesn’t seem silly, or impractical.  It doesn’t feel contrived, or required.  It just feels right.  It feels like what I always imagined but never thought was really real.  It is real!  It really, really is real.  And it is sooooo nice.  I am enjoying every budding moment of it.  No rush… just happily enjoying everything that comes with it.

And just in case you were wondering… we are 6 weeks and 16 dates in…
