Don't worry about it. We're just having coffee.

Sometimes even your closest friends can be so completely wrong about you. Or, have the wrong perception.

For example, a few times it's been mentioned to me that I seem to be on a mission to be in a relationship with someone. Those weren't the exact words they used but that was the essential message.

Nothing could have been further from the truth.

Did I want to date guys? Yes.

Was I hellbent on having fun? Hell yeah.

But was I desperately seeking out my soulmate and be in another relationship? Fuck no.

I love being single. It's easy in a complicated world. There are no attachments. You can be selfish. Emotions are easily kept in check. And I'd been in two relationships that took up a majority of my adult life.

In the past two years of being single, I've met a lot of wonderful people with great characteristics that would be excellent mates. However, I just wouldn't let it happen. I didn't want to get close to anyone.

That's changing.

I wasn't going to blog about any of this but it's just becoming too much of a part of my life to NOT blog about it.

Tuesday night I went out on a date with a really cute guy who's also very sweet. But I just wasn't into it. Why? Because I seem to be hung up on someone else.

After a couple of false starts (like I said before -- the last thing I'd want is a relationship), we're really jelling. And it's happening organically. There's nothing manufactured or fake about any of it. This makes it even more powerful. Things are happening at a very slow pace (to my liking) and there are "no expectations or commitments" (his words, not mine). But honestly, things are so good that I hope that phrase gets dropped soon.

I'm not sure if things will get serious or not. We may just end up as friends and teammates, but that's okay. Life is about adventure and exploring possibilities, right?

Last night we watched one of my all time favorite movies, "Say Anything." There are a billion great lines in it. So I'll just leave with this one.

Diane Court: Nobody thinks it will work, do they?
Lloyd Dobler: No. You just described every great success story.
