Happy New Year!
Almost eighteen years ago a charming young man told me, “I
date one woman at a time. If you’d like
to date others let me know, we can be movie buddies….” Thrilled with the idea that this man I was
smitten by, on the fourth day after reconnecting from some fifteen years prior,
I jumped at the chance for us to solely focus on each other. I dialed any and
every one I was remotely dating and banned them from, calling and/or attempting
to connect with me. “I’ve met someone
and I want to give the relationship a chance, I can’t date him and you too…”
I explained.
I wore that stance like a badge of honor. After all there was someone interested in me
as much as I him, and he was courageous enough to declare his devotion to me at
such an early stage in our relationship.
