What the Universe is Telling Me

I look at the subject line of the last message and sigh. My shoulders slump down as I realize there are no new messages. It has only been a day since this message came in, and I only wrote back this morning. But I am not patient. What am I supposed to be learning? Patience.

My lack of patience sort of ties into this particular message. It was not sent by the person I met a few weeks ago, someone I have met and have started a tentative, albeit complicated relationship. I wouldn't even be looking to talk to someone else if it weren't for the complications of this relationship and the fact that he told me - no, he insisted - I keep looking because, as he said, an "attractive woman like me should not be wasting my time at home, waiting for his situation to change." (BTW - no, he's not married, but is at home with his estranged wife. This economy creates all sorts of "complicated" situations.)

So, I looked, and tried to start a conversation. But no one else interested me. Until, of course, I was, once again, ready to give up. And, just like that, I received a message from someone who, like me, was planning on moving out of the area, and was looking for more of a friendship to pass the time. So, I thought, "why not" and responded

And I didn't expect us to really hit it off. But we've been exchanging some in-depth messages. And, once again, I am finding myself getting impatient, waiting for the next one, but also trying to hang onto the first guy. I don't remember the last time I've been in a situation like this (if ever!)

There seems to be a common theme here - I think the universe is trying to tell me a few things:

1. Don't turn down a person, even if, at first glance he might not seem to be "the right one". There is no perfect guy.
2. There are, however, nice, decent guys who are worth every second you spend conversing with them.
3. Enjoy a relationship for as long as it lasts, even if it's only a day.
4. Wait and be patient; magical things happen when you do.
5. Oh, and one more thing - judging from the talents of these two guys, I think the person I will end up with eventually will be smart, have a degree, be technically savvy, but musically talented. And play guitar.
