Sometimes you have to go back in order to move forward...

Those of you that have been following the blog I've decided to start from the beginning... please enjoy as we go back in time to when I met these men, fell in love and had my heartbroken. I’d like to say that many of these men shaped my life, but in truth very few did. Some shaped who I have become, some
drastically changed who I wanted to be and yet some just faded into the night. I wish I could say that it all ends Happily Ever After, but this isn’t a romantic comedy. It isn’t about happy endings, at least not the kind I dreamt of as a little girl. Because sometimes in life the princess doesn’t get to keep her
prince. And sometimes the prince is just a frog. But if you take anything from my mismatched romances it is this- the journey is often better than the destination. The names have been changed, but I can guarantee the stories are real. Or at least how I remember them. So sit back, grab a glass of wine and
join me on 4 years of dating, living and laughing.

Perfect.

We all have those nights that stick out in our minds as being perfect. Maybe they truly weren't perfect, but we believed them to be. Last night with Scorpion Fish was one of those nights for me. It's hard to pinpoint what makes a date perfect. He insisted on coming in to talk to my parents- even though he's deathly afraid of my dad. Scored one from my mom on that one! He opened all the doors for me- I'm a total modern woman but sometimes it's nice to get the car door opened and the tab paid for (he did that one too!). We had some laughs over drinks. A kiss or two at the bar. A slow dance (which I didn't have to force or even ask him to do!) That move scored major points from me. And we headed back to my place for a little necking. And he left just before my mom did a little bed check! I know that none of these things are that amazing or unique but all together they became amazing and unique to me. Maybe it could be perfect in my mind because I was able to get back on the plane this morning and head home. After all nothing gets messy when you live thousands of miles apart. I don't have to worry about the will he call me the next day- though if you are wondering yes he did! I don't have to worry about where this is all going because it's impossible to have a long distance relationship when neither people would ever be living in the same state! Though that doesn't stop me from wanting one! But some things are better left undone. Now we can't have a messy break up. We can't hate each other. We will never have to see each other with someone else. And we can remain friends with amazing chemistry. After all hasn't that been what we've been to each other for the last few years anyways. But for me it's nice to just know that my perfect date is just a phone call or a short flight away.
