10 Years Later - From a DB'er

[Georgiabelle]

Don,

Oh gosh no. Please don't think I met my dream man in 3 weeks. I had a crush on the guy that worked in my lobby. On a whim I joined a site at 2 am, and voila! There he was. And I was not looking for anything serious. Ryan Gosling could have been at my front door and while I would have thought he was hot caca, I would have closed the door. Well, after playing tonsil darts for a bit.

I am very much a free spirit and I have always attracted men looking for relationships. I had been in relationships since I was 21 (give or take 2 months in between relationships) so I thought that I needed to be by myself. And it was definitely the right decision for me.

I know many people have thought about what they want in a partner, my reflection has been more about what I can and cannot be in a relationship. I am the only common denominator. I have always been in relationships with good guys, however, at some point I shut down and they become extremely frustrated with me. I now understand that and don't look at my relationships as failures, but rather just chapters in my life.

I have 3 kids under 13 and there dad may see them 4 nights a month or no nights. My free time is precious so I decided about a year ago that dating may not ever be in my future. And if I found someone great. And if I didn't? Life would still be pretty awesome.

One of my guy friends said one of his friends saw my SM posts and thought I was cute. My friend said he's a really cool guy and that I should grab a drink with him. I didn't feel particularly anything but I knew I would have fun. I laughed so hard I cried 3 times on that date. I liked him but didn't think much about it.

It's been 6 or 7 weeks since then and he's a fantastic guy. I was very honest with him and that I just can't go places very often so if you want to get to know me you're going to have to come visit my house . I realize that doesn't sound enticing to many but he said he understands that I'm a package . So far so good.
It is a bit different this time around because I have a fantastic time with him and I'm so happy to see him. It is a bit different this time around because I have a fantastic time with him and I'm so happy to see him. However, when he leaves my life is still really good and I still have fun. I guess what I'm trying to say is that in the past I put my relationship and such a high priority that I neglected other areas of my I guess what I'm trying to say is that in the past I put my relationship and such a high priority that I neglected other areas of my life . I cannot do that with children . They come first and a relationship would have to be secondary at this point . And for the first time everything feels like it has a balance .

Please keep at it . I genuinely believe there is someone for everyone . The challenges we don't know when we will meet that person and it may not be on our own time frame. I do know that we should enjoy every day is much as possible because things can change in an instant.
