Keeping you on your toes!

So I've decided to take a break from dating and instead concentrate on me for a change. Why is it when a woman takes a step such as this men come crawling out of the woodwork! That's the case with me right now. I mean two guys I always had the "what if's" about have now circled back into my life. One moved away from Buffalo 8 years ago back to his hometown in Virginia to be closer to family. We recently reconnected through LinkedIn and have been emailing each other. He now lives and works in Canada. I asked why he moved away from VA after he worked to hard to get back there? He said every move he ever made was to further his career. He said that maybe the case when he leaves this job as well or it maybe more about personal opportunity or desire. He said he's single, no kids, and that life clicks by pretty quickly and he may have moved right past what should have been right for him personally because he was too concerned with getting ahead careerwise. WOW! Now I have always put my career first so I can completely relate to this.

The second guy is one I clicked with last summer. There was some serious chemistry there but we never dated, only became friends who would have lunch, dinner, etc. once in a while. Well he was out at one of our stomping grounds and he texted me that he was there. I told him I think I owed him a drink from the last time we were out. Anyway one thing lead to another and the next thing I know is he's calling me. We talked for hours and in the end I was right - there was chemistry between us. I told him the ball was in his court and that we would take this one day at a time. I also asked him to attend a black tie event with me. He said he would love to go but may have something going at work so he would have to let me know. Now he's in law enfocement so I completely understand if he's called into action on something. I told him to let me know. He did make a lunch date with me this week as well.

I guess only time will tell if either of these "what if's" become an "I know" situation. Everything that each man has told me over the past week has really been keeping me on my toes. Women have a habit of creating the perfect image of what their life would have been with these "what if" men. Fact of the matter is we won't know unless we try. So I'm going to give it a shot. Who knows what will happen.
