Have I Found The Right One

 Have I Found The Right One

If you're reading my blogs, you know that since My Ellen died, I've been looking for that right one. It's been a struggle with many "no-ways." A month ago, I started dating someone, and we agreed to give it a shot.

When you're meeting someone who you look at as a potential long lasting loving relationship, the first thing you must feel is a connection. Call it physical attraction or just something you feel but can't explain why.

If it's only a physical attraction, IMHO, it won't last long. If it's something you feel, you then have to find out what else is inside that person that might allow the relationship to ferment. So, let me tell you what I learned about this lady and why we are giving this the old college try.

It was obvious from the start that I felt something I can't explain. After a few dates and talking in-between, I realized she was bright (I really like bright women). Our politics are on the same page. We feel the same about religion. We feel the same about what's happening in this country and around the world.

After a few more dates and conversation via phone, we are letting down our barriers and telling each other the good and the bad of our lives. We realize we can talk about everything and trust each other will keep it within our relationship. We also realize we are two people that care. Oh, I forgot to say, we love animals (she has two).

Will we meet our relationship goals - I have no idea. It's only a month. We haven't traveled with each other. You can learn a lot about someone when you travel together. We agree on what we're looking for in love making, but we haven't slept with each other and probably won't until we know each other better.

Most important is, she makes me happy.

Sooo, why am I telling you all this. It's because, I want you to look at your relationship. I want you to consider what makes you happy in your relationship. If you're looking for that special one, don't make it about the physical attraction only. Don't compromise on the must haves in the relationship. The bottom line,

Does she or he make you happy.
