A Year In Review....My Year of Optimistic dating in NY.

Well, it all began with an ending...as most things are wont to do in this great path we call "Life".
I was in a relationship with my "soul mate" so called after 15 years of friendship we tried and needless to say it ended....leaving me high with a new outlook on "the one", if it wasn't the guy I thought it was for 15 years....it really could be anyone and my eyes were wide and open and intoxicated with possibility and the fruit of a whole new outlook:
I WAS READY! My pursuit of love up until this moment was passive and dreamy relying on luck, intuition, astrological charts, my friends-friends, returning ex-boyfriends, returning ex-ex-boyfriends basically old patterns not working for me. Prompted by my best friend Jewel I decided to try something that NEVER had occurred to me....
ONLINE DATING
This was a big shift for my hapless romantic outlook. Love always felt like the thing that happens when you get in an elevator and your GUY is there and you ride purposefully 5 extra flights together just to get acquainted....
Love was not something you put a percentage around and meet calculatedly in order to mate?
I sssshhhed my romantic edge aside and took the plunge and I am an amazing diver....I commit when I find a wave and dive... I dive very deeply.
This blog is a homage to my dive into dating and I offer it from my heart that has crested many waves and plunged most likely more and had my face rubbed in the sand and pulled my bathing suit back together looked at the waves with persistence and admiration and dove again and again and again.....
I am writing this Blog backwards because everything is more powerful with hindsight.
My intention is to amuse, express and humbly enlighten the way someone who has just slipped on a wet floor turns and say's "Hey! Tread lightly"
