The Line

I can't believe that I am already at this place with CPA Girl. We talked tonight and decided to get together tomorrow before I go to work. Since the weather is up in the air for tomorrow we decided to make a decision then on what to do. However when I hung up a nagging fear was there. I know she likes me, but do I dare truly believe it. For to do so opens me up to hurt if it doesn't work out. Realistically I know there is the possibility for incredible happiness here, but the fear of loss is there. It started in childhood with our many moves. Kids don't truly have the ability as adults to keep relations over distances with out assistance. Over and over I lost many a friend with our moves as I grew up. Then in post separation I have met a few women that I really liked, but it didn't work out. I guess it falls into the sphere of helplessness. I hate it. I was powerless to stop our moves and the end of my friendships as a child. As an adult I am powerless over another person's decisions. However I do know if I don't give it my all I greatly increase my chances of it not growing to fruition. I know I am smitten with CPA Girl so my fear is increased. I was surprised that I adopted my old mask last night on our date. I will have to be more aware of what is going on.

I know it feels like you are opening yourself up for possible hurt but think of it as opening yourself up for possible love. And for each failed relationship take with you a piece of it to learn from or grow from. Don't build walls as that makes you powerless. Break them down and gain the power to see first if it is worthy of your love. You be in control of your heart. You decide if the beginning is fruitfull enough for more. When you find that you really care and begin to see she isn't where you are, space it out give time to what may still be there. Be aware of an unsteadiness from her but never allow the walls from past stiffle what may just be caution from her. There should always be caution, but never should there be walls as that will in the end, set the barrier for the end. And communication is the number one key allow her to know where you stand and accept nothing less than honesty. We can all see the area where it just isn't fitting yet we let our heart have the control and that is when we get hurt. Damn I sound like a relationship specialist but in noway am I even close to that as I am on my second marriage but my 1st one lasted 17 years with open communication and brought me to my 2nd with even better communication and lessons from the first. Who knows where this will go but I am enjoying every second of it for as long as I allow my heart to enjoy it. And that may very well be the duration of my life. Probably I should have sent this in an email...oppps....smiles....Good luck Mike

I am so happy for you; this is exciting news!!! Don't let the past haunt you right now: this is a new beginning. And yes when you open yourself up you could find yourself getting hurt. But this may be the beginning of a beautiful relationship: this could be the girl you have been waiting for ; for a very long time.
So throw caution to the wind. be yourself. relax. have a fun time. enjoy the ride.
AND DON'T OVERTHINK IT!!!
