Relief

The update on Dave is as follows: After our date (in his self-admitted true Gemini nature) he decided that he was unsure that he was actually looking for a serious relationship. Dave assured me that we did have a connection, but considering his unstable state he doesn't feel it would be fair to keep seeing me or any female. On top of that, he is also leaving the country for an extended period of time. I told Dave that I appreciated the response and wished him luck. While knowing that there was no way Dave and I could be together (in the capacity in which I wanted), it was nice to know that I didn't do anything weird that freaked him out. Quite shortly after Dave came and went I finally met a guy who is actually looking for a relationship. Within the first date we made plans for a second, and since that point I have not had a single second thought before deciding to call him. With the guys who were not really looking for something serious I constantly felt like I was tip-toeing around trying to gauge their interest level. With Brad I can tell that he likes me, and things are far more relaxed. I have seen him 3 times so far, and we have plans tomorrow night as well. On the days I don't see Brad there is at least a text message or a phone conversation between the two of us. The best part: Brad isn't lacking any key element that would keep me from finding him to be an appropriate partner. He is older than me, more established, smart, interested in a vast array of things, has a career, is extremely tall, and is talkative. I haven't even logged onto my online dating account in over a week as a result. Hopefully things will continue on this path, and I will have a real live boyfriend in the not-too-distant future...
