One Less...

Okay, I know I just got through saying that I wouldn't make a choice, but let the choice be made for me. However, I think the choice was made; I just needed to sign off on it.

The first guy I was talking to was okay, but, just not...well, let's put it this way. I think the Higher Power, the Universe, what have you was saying

"Listen. Here's this one guy. He doesn't refer to you by name, not even 'hey you." He is mostly interested in cuddles and coffee. And that's about it. He shows up with posts when it is convenient for him, and most of the conversation is basic. A little flirting; very little personal information. That's all.

Now, here is this second guy. From the 2nd email, he was calling you by name. After that, he interspersed that with cute little names that he would make up by drawing from something you had mentioned. The conversation is intelligent and intriguing, and keeps you wanting more. And, oh yeah, unlike the other guy,  he has posted photos and while he might have noted concerns about his weight, you find him very attractive.

So, who are you going to continue to talk to? And if you make the wrong choice, I will hit you so hard with karma, you won't want to date anyone for a year."

When the first guy got back from his business trip, and asked "RU still chatting with me or what?", I politely informed him that I was talking with someone else and I wasn't really interested in speaking with him anymore (well, it was more politely put than that.) His response was a "Whatever. Good luck." And that was it. I am fairly certain he is telling someone, or at least thinking "That fat, older chick dumped me?!?"

Yes, yes I did. Now, I don't know what will happen with the person I am continuing to talk to. I hope it works. However, what I know is that I have enjoyed what we have had so far, and if that is all that I get, then that's enough. It informs me what I want and what I deserve.

And I think I finally know how to make emotionally healthy choices. Yay for me!
