So, my first visit with B sucked. He had pretty much decided before I even stepped off the plane that he wasn't interested in anything with me anymore. I got there Thursday morning, we hung out until about 8pm that night, and then till about 5pm on Friday. On Saturday morning we pretty much decided to go our separate ways for the rest of my trip, Saturday and Sunday. 3 months of daily contact, saying lots of sweet things, telling me how great things would be when I got there and how he was patiently waiting for me because he knew he'd found a good one...and then after Saturday morning, I got one more text (an answer to my text to him), and then nothing more at all since I got home on Monday 6 days ago. No, hope you got home safely and your plane didn't crash, nothing. This LDR turned into worst case scenario, just like my last one did. I swore I was done with them.
I made a new profile on okCupid, thinking that I'd just see what was out there locally, for casual dating. I still want to move to Florida, but several things (not the thing with B ending) have thrown a big wrench into my plans (can't rent my house out due to some obscure clause in my mortgage, my company is losing the 2 offices we have down there, so transferring just became almost impossible). I'm starting to wonder if I'm just not meant to live down there, and the universe is putting every obstacle in my way to tell me that.
So, in amongst all the crap emails on okCupid, I got one from a SUPER adorable guy that said,"Too bad we don't live closer, you seem like an amazing girl!"
His name is David. He lives 3.5 hours away from me. In a city that he can't leave (he has an 11year old son), a city that is not one I'd ever had on my radar in my life. I.E., nowhere close to Florida or Texas or the warm places I want to move.
Anyway, he was so cute and his profile seemed so sweet that I couldn't just not reply. We've been talking and texting for 5 days now, and have a date scheduled for a week from now. He's driving here to meet me.
I guess I'm trying to be open to the idea that true love could be anywhere, and I shouldn't shut down the opportunity to find it if it comes to find me. I've had really bad luck in love, and it's rare that decent guys reach out to me online. So I'm giving it a shot, and seeing what could happen.
And it doesn't hurt that 6 months ago, I went to a psychic fair and had three readings...and 2 of them said that my match was a guy named David, and that they didn't see me moving to Florida! I haven't crossed paths with a David in the dating arena in over 15 years until now!
