On the advice of a friend, I recently signed up with yet
another online dating site. I'd basically taken a break from dating, wanted to
learn more about myself by spending time alone, doing things with myself as my
partner, braving the world with only me to rely on. Finally, a few weeks ago, I
felt ready to date again. Just date. No destination in mind, enjoying the
journey, getting out and meeting new people. Specifically men.
Did I have love in mind? Sure! Who doesn't? Did I want a relationship? Sure! Eventually.
But did I want it now, now, OMG NOW? Not necessarily.

It is a dimension as vast as space and timeless as
infinity...
Five days after signing up, I opened a new email. The first
word in it was Wow. That got my attention. I might've even patted my hair or
adjusted my bra. Dunno. I probably wiggled a little. Or at least wagged my
tail.
Stop laughing. Something in that Wow spoke to me. Hey. I'm just a girl!
I eagerly read more. I really like your profile and I'm interested in alot of the same things that you are. History, particularly American history, especially the Civil War...
Besides the impressive grammar and the ability to speak in full sentences, I liked that he added "(not a re-enactor)" because that kind of thing just takes interest to a whole 'nother height. 'Nuff said.

It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between
science and superstition...
...If you like what you read (and see) in my profile, maybe
we can talk a bit.
I liked the see part. A realistic guy. And a man who obviously liked what HE saw, or else he wouldn't be talking to me via email. Yeah baby. Pump a fist for the old broad. I took a gander.
And liked what I saw! Really liked what I saw. And read too. Yeah, read. Because reading is important, ya know.

and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of
his knowledge...
We arranged a date. It lasted five hours. No more deets for
you!
The next day he called and asked me out again. On date two he said he'd been aware of my profile for a while. I asked him why he didn't contact me sooner. He said it's because he thought – kinda, maybe – that I might be The Real Thing. Took him a few days to wrap his brain around that.
My first thought upon seeing him was: there's my boyfriend, and, concurrently, something that's better suited for between the sheets of one of my books.

This is the dimension of the heart...
We didn't begin this journey with a destination in mind.
Just see in each other a good travel companion. And, since the guides have
abandoned us, I guess we'll stick together until we reach a sensible stopping
point, junction, or, the end of the road.
Who knows? After all...
Who knows? After all...
It is an area we call...
the Love Zone."
