We find ourselves hanging out together with no plan. It just happens. Maybe we meet at an event of some kind. Maybe we’re just standing next to each other at a railing watching waves crashing on the cliffs below. We start talking and the conversation is easy and we find lots of commonalities so we decide to get some food and wine, and in the end, we spend the night together, and the rest of our days together.
Perfect. Unplanned. No date. Just having easy, relaxed fun. Connecting like powerful magnets. Never feeling a need to let go.
I don’t like dates. I don’t like the intention of them. I like it when things happen. That is more authentic and natural for me. I’m not making anything happen. The universe is taking over.
Of course, I can say this easily, since I’m married and I just about never dated in my life. It has always been easy for me, even when it wasn’t easy. It wasn’t easy when I was waiting for something to happen. The waiting was hard, but at least I didn’t have to date, even though, at the time, I thought I should be dating. But I could never bring myself to do it. Too chicken to ask anyone, I guess. But it worked out fine. Dating isn’t necessary. So why date? Unless you actually like it. [Shudder].
