I started dating again. In the past I have had very limited success with dating. I've been more successful with sabotaging the relationship, finding the end even before it really began.
Lessons I have learned:
1) a good date can be ruined by the simple act of being too forward. Guys - take a hint here. Women do not usually want a tongue down their throat less than an hour and 1/2 after meeting you. I should put a caveat on this. This woman doesn't.
2) even though he's a good guy, it does not mean hes the right guy.
3) timing is everything. If it is the wrong timing then be willing to accept and move on. Life will give you other opportunities.
4) dating isn't about finding someone, its about discovering you and what you want. The "perfect" guy is going to have qualities you don't care for. Love is what makes you endure them.
5) God gave us instincts for a reason. Listen to them. They are not wrong.
6) Trust - have a little faith. Its not always easy, but learning to trust is like learning to let go and float.
7) Its ok to take time and let things just be. It is not required to know everything about them and have them know everything about you. Taking things slow is never a bad thing. It is a good way to truly know someone. Time is what makes great friendships and relationships. In other words - time will tell.
A couple of great quotes to leave you with:
"If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you won't give up. If you give up you're not worthy. Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you, you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for." - Bob Marley
"I want a woman who reminds me of a butterfly. She's matured, she's beautiful and she is hard to catch" - Alex Elsberry
