I want to move on. I’ve been trying. But a part of me has been holding back. I’ve known this. I’ve been licking my wounds. The past is difficult to leave behind.

I’m a big talker.

I’ve sworn off romantically forward allegiances in the past.

In favor of promises.

I’m gonna do this. I’m gonna do that. I’m gonna date. I’m gonna try online dating. I’m gonna meet a nice guy. I’m going to do it all when I’m ready.

I never carry through.

Don’t get me wrong.

I’m not sitting at home. I’m meeting plenty of guys. I just have a bad habit of turning them down…the minute they’re interested in me.

It’s about timing.

And my timing hasn’t been great.

Until now.

I met a man I think I like.

I write about everything in my life. This time I’m not so sure. Maybe I’ll end up writing about him, or maybe not. Who Knows. This is the first time I want to see where something goes without sharing it with the world.

I wish I could explain why.
