I get it completely. I also get the urge to get back in touch. And I hope that you realize what a great thing it was for you to contact him when you did (and perhaps the reason you felt compelled to do it - if you believe in pre-destination at all), given the short time you had to re-connect. What a gift you were given and he sounds like a terrific guy.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179950137275247571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201036437468822838.post-73657882347857955122011-12-16T12:43:01.270-06:002011-12-16T12:43:01.270-06:00I wrote a post last month about "crushes"...I wrote a post last month about "crushes" and how our mind goes back there again and again. I had several crushes similar to your high school experiences--with little to no real contact with the admiree (that's totally a word, right?). And one MAJOR epic crush, who I refer to on the blog as "Mr. High School." Our reunion saga is on the sidebar of blog. <br /><br />I love the "retroactive junior prom date" phrase. LOVE it!Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201036437468822838.post-3243599158830117722011-12-16T11:22:10.599-06:002011-12-16T11:22:10.599-06:00Never never never want to go back either Mark! Wh...Never never never want to go back either Mark! What did I mean by "romance reality"...you see, I don't think out my words before I type them, or change them much on proof reading before hitting "publish"...what I can say is that it was crushing to me to learn that romance in the real world (or maybe just in my life) does not happen as it is described in romance novels. And for some naive reason, I didn't expect that. That first serious kissing session, when I was still pondering what homework I had to do before the next day, was really a sad and depressing reality check - with absolutely no fault placed on the enthusiasm of skills of said kissing partner.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179950137275247571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201036437468822838.post-36429713477954306372011-12-16T03:47:36.757-06:002011-12-16T03:47:36.757-06:00Now there is a phrase that leaps out to me: "...Now there is a phrase that leaps out to me: "romance reality." It does not evoke images so much, as emotions. The old, "Does she REALLY see something in ME? Or is this another "romance reality" gut-check? Speaking for myself, I never want to go back to that carnival, that features the "Tilt-A-Whirl" of youthful uncertainty. It isn't that I know it all; I just don't need to anymore.Mark O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295762252612104201noreply@blogger.com
