It’s 4 days after the date and after some idle chit
chat:
Him: So, you’ve
had some time to analyze and process … what is your assessment? How do you think it went? Where do you think we go from here?
Good question.
After many weeks of conversations, he knew me well enough to know that I
would take time to analyze. And I did.
Bottom line: My
instincts were telling me that we did not want the same things. I’ll leave the details in my personal
journal. I will say that it is very
important for me to pay attention and trust my instincts. Historically, not trusting my instincts led
me to marry a bigamist and not trusting my instincts led me to stay in a
relationship for 6+ years when it should have ended after the first date. Suffice it to say, I need to trust my
instincts.
However, this was a breakthrough of sorts and I have
nothing but positive feelings about the entire situation. Here’s why:
·
I recognized the red flags and responded
accordingly
·
I was an adult and had the uncomfortable
conversation – for the first time in my life
·
I was honest and respected him enough to
tell him the truth instead of going ghost
·
I trusted God during every single step
of the process
·
I’m ready to date again in a positive
way and I’m confident that I will find what I’m looking for
This was a learning experience. I met a nice man, had a good date and maybe I’ve
added a friend to my circle. What’s
wrong with that?
