There’s something magical about sitting ON your car seat, as opposed to sitting IN your car seat.

Am I the only one that feels this way?

What is it about frozen foam anyway?

I fell in love tonight.

Admittedly, that is not so unusual. When you’re surrounded by such beauty, you have a tendency to fall in love every night.

Tonight was no exception. Except...

There was a connection. Again, not so unusual. I’ve experienced amazing connections before.

Yet, I really didn’t know how to handle this one.

Jen was out on a date—guessing from the snippets of conversation overheard, a first date. Possibly even an app date.

As far as those kinds of dates go, and from what I observed, it didn’t necessarily go badly. I don’t think it’ll go anywhere, but I’ve been wrong about those too.

Yet I think I’ll see her again.

My question, however, is this: How does someone go about giving a girl his phone number when she’s clearly on a date?

And you’re the waiter? And he’s buying (i.e. leaving the tip)? How could I have handled this differently?

For what it’s worth, she did stop me to exchange names before they left—in separate vehicles. Yes, I think I’ll see her again. I certainly hope so...

Yet, I need to find a way to act in these moments, as many/most relationships don’t last forever. And she and I both deserve a beautiful experience with each other. And I cannot just let these opportunities keep slipping by.

But why?

Why do we hesitate?

Especially when we know what we have to do... ugh.

Doubt. Risk. Fear.

Much fear.

Of course, this doubt/risk/fear is for real. The decision to return to the land of renters from being a homeowner is kind of a big deal.

Yet, now is the time.

Amidst the land of fear, there is opportunity.

Much opportunity.

There is a life to be lived. There are women to meet—and fall in love with. There are places to go.

The wanderlust is strong.

Still.

I have a realtor who is more than eager to help.

Why do I hesitate?

Consider:

• if the risks you’re taking don’t pan out;
• if your expectations aren’t met;
• if you find yourself let down;
• if you put everything on the line and lose it;

what WOULDN’T you lose? What can never be taken away from you?
