With another fantastic weekend under my belt, which includes sleeping for about 12 hours last night, I am left confused as usual about my never-ending struggle with timing. Because I have chosen to make this blog as anonymous as possible so as not to offend anyone or 'blow up any spots' as the kids are staying these days, this post is going to be a bit difficult, but I will make it work.
Have you ever been interested in someone...I would say moderately interested (nothing serious) and things seem to be going completely fine and then it's as if a rug gets pulled from underneath your legs? That's a bit dramatic, but it's really just to try and put the situation into perspective. So let me be a bit more specific. You have hung out a couple of times, talk, text, whatever...on a regular basis, eventually hook up (nothing crazy) and then they fall off the face of the earth. Weird, right? I'm aware.
But then, clear out of the blue, someone else who did the exact same thing say 2-3 months ago- showed interest, maybe you even hooked up, but never heard a thing- at that exact moment that you have semi-met someone interesting - that other person miraculously pops him/herself back into your life with zero explanation.
Now, none of these above-mentioned situations are ground-breaking. Christ, at this point in my life, it would take a very high-level magnitude earthquake to be considered ground-breaking with the way my love life has panned out to date; however, it did make me think about how wise the man/woman who first said 'Timing is everything." If I cared enough, maybe I would look that up for all of my readers so that we could give credit where credit is due...but I won't.
I will ask that you share with me an instance in your life that seemed like it could be fun, exciting, new...whatever, and it didn't work out because of timing. Maybe you were moving in a week and had just met who seemed to be the man of your dreams. Or, you find the love of your life and you've already been married for 6 years. These things happen on a regular basis and what are we to do?
So help me out. I know what I do....but what about you?
I'm interested in knowing...so please find the time to tell me ;)

Every person I have been involved with since the crash of 2007 (that's what we will refer the military break-up to) has been piss poor timing. Either they are with someone or I am moving, or they were moving. I find the older you get, the faster life starts to move and the more realistic you become about relationships (realistic/cynical-same thing). It's not longer the fantasy of one true love, more or less, having met someone, both with the same end goal and time line. With that said - I think its shit. Sometimes, you can't help but be devastated by it - especially if it works really well, but it just isn't meant to be. And when swallowing the reality of it whole doesn't make me feel any better, I poor a large glass of wine and grab a friend who I know will be able to make me laugh!
