Murky waters...
Yesterday I had my first date since TJB and I broke up. It was a friend of my friend Chris. In addition, it was actually a blind date. We ended up going out for drinks and talking. While I'm definitely going to take things day-by-day, this date seemed rather promising. I wasn't completely sure at first but we had a lot to talk about. Based on my assessment of last night, he was a very stable, kind, and interesting individual. I could definitely tell he was interested in me. But I'm not looking to jump into another relationship so soon. So as previously mentioned, I'm taking this day-by-day and see where they end up.
I saw the movie "Atonement" yesterday with a few friends. While the acting was very good, it was definitely NOT the movie to see after a break up. It was basically a love story that ended with both the main characters dying. It was interesting to see how a few minor actions can impact the course of someone's life forever, both in a positive and negative manner. However, it was by far one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen.
I definitely have mixed emotions about the entire break up situation. I'm not thrilled to be dating again. It is difficult to step outside of my comfort zone. Things with my now ex boyfriend were so comfortable because he knew me and my habits. Since I've started dating again a new person is going to have to learn all my quirks (they have all their work cut out for them!)
In addition, I'm sad about how things ended. While there was a great deal of difficulty in our relationship, we shared so many happy times. The manner in which we broke up was not a reflection of that. There was a great deal of anger and sadness displayed during our discussion. Therefore I wish we could have ended things on good terms.
But anywho, I'm ready to look forward. I can't stay hung up on the past. There are infinite possibilities that I feel I need to explore. The world is my oyster =-)
