41 years later, I have to say that I could potentially be in the best place. I have spent the last 14, hmm maybe 15 years being a mom (pregnancy counts). Out of the blue, I reached out to an old high school friend that I was kind of crushing on.....we both crushed but that is neither here nor there.
Anyway, it was the best message I have ever sent. We have always been friends and that is something that will never change. This new thing that is happening, is so much better.
So as it goes, much like my other post...the question is.......Is falling in love while long-distance dating safe?
We live about 5 hours away from one another. Sexy as I have never seen before, perfect in every way possible...for me. The kicker is, I just want to spend time with this person as adults, but it is obvious that distance poses a problem for us. I could totally fall in love with this person. He is the perfect balance for me. He is compassionate, loving, caring, attentive, assertive, goal-oriented (like me), and makes me feel safe. Those are all my must haves. He checks all the boxes and then some. Perfect on paper, right!!!
This blog goes from one extreme to the next because I use to discuss the difficulties of dating in Iowa while having a kid and that it is so incredibly difficult to find someone who is accepting of ALL the baggage that comes with it. With him, I do not feel all the anxiety, concerns or trust issues that I have had in previous relationships. That says a lot!! I am in a good place. I am feeling like all those failed relationships have been the pre-show for what I am hoping is to be the main event.
Wish me luck!
