A friend of mine texted me yesterday to say he kissed a girl the night before and thinks he might have a new girlfriend.
That was great news because he’s been dating and playing around with online dating (which is pretty much an awful way to get to know someone).
Because this is an area I have put a lot of thought into over the last few years, My response was a philosophical deep dive (on text) about relationships, sex and what it all means to me and why I’m single.
I’m such a nerd sometimes.
Wouldn’t it have been nice if I could have put aside my philosophy and just been happy for him?
It wasn’t even that long ago I wrote about Stephen Coveys Habit.
A girlfriend of mine told me she struggles with this also.
She has built an online course before and her experience wasn’t fulfilling for her. She loves what she’s doing now and wants me to be a part of it.
But I want to build a course because I have some great stuff I want to share.
She wants to support me but thinks I’m crazy.
Life is funny.
It’s hard to put aside what we know and what we have experienced in order to allow others the space to walk their own journey.
It’s what makes the world go around.
At then end of the text conversation I apologized for my nerdy philosophical deep dive, and he said we really should go for coffee to compare relationship notes.
Maybe he has something he wants to say too but can’t keep up to my ninja texting skills.
