Relationships

You’re alone and looking for that special someone to share time, activities and perhaps a lifetime. You meet new people, explore the possibilities, analyze your comfort level and move on. Sometimes you wonder if it will ever happen, or do you really want it too. What would you have to give up, what can you tolerate, how accepting are you? Yet, the yearning motivates you to pursue the dream. Then you attend some function and casually move into a situation because you see a smile, a glow and sense an aura that is comfortable. You engage in ideal chat and enjoy the repartee. You exchange numbers and wonder whether you will meet again. Of course there is apprehension, but what newness in life is without that? The gain could be the fulfillment of your dreams, while loss nothing. Then you encounter one another again and the feelings are the same. These times are intriguing and exciting. You attend activities together and people comment on your attitude and glow. You spend private time and group time together and things crop up that annoy or disconcert you. However, you talk about them, seeking understanding not change. The way this person is, is the way you want them to be. Each of their manners and characteristics captivates you and makes them who they are. You learn acceptance and patience for each other and the world. There are still items that you desire and your partner does not. How do you weigh these things and can you ever find it all. Perhaps the saying, that sometimes when you seek what you want you find what you need is true. You know that when you are apart, you remember the texture of their skin, the smile on their lips, their scent and companionship. You long for the next encounter and smile openly knowing this is worth pursuing.
