It's all about timing...

Today I went on a date. I met "J" downtown for lunch. It was the perfect first date because we were able to hang out, get to know one another and eat! We went to a little Puerto Rican restaurant - it was so good! As I was sitting across from "J", I found myself looking at someone who seems to be a really good guy.  And then I laughed inside because this date we were on today, could have happened almost two years ago. Only it didn't because two years ago wasn't the right time.  We were meant to wait....

Two years ago, we were set up by a mutual friend.  He was newly divorced, I was newly divorced. Why not? So after corresponding a few times via email, he called me up one evening. It is safe to say that the phone call did not impress either one of us. It wasn't anything specific. We just didn't connect.  That was our first and last conversation ever. Or so I thought.....

Fast forward to earlier this week. I randomly got a FB message from him asking how I was doing? I thought it was a mistake. Kind of like a drunk dial, but more of a drunk post? So the next day I spoke to our mutual friend and she told me I should write him back. Why not? I agreed.  So I did.  Long story short... we met today for lunch and had a great time.  And we both agreed that we were glad we had NOT met two years ago. Neither one of us were in the right place.  Now we were. It's all about timing...

 Update: As nice as the date was, "J" canceled on me for our 2nd one. Hmmm....
