Co-Ed Convos

Lately I’ve been privy to co-ed conversations which I have found completely enlightening, hilarious and just silly! It reinforces my belief that men and women are 100% capable of platonic relationships.

The view from the other side can be interesting, maddening and down right shocking. It is beneficial to hear the view from across gender lines because it can be a completely revealing angle on issues which would otherwise leave us baffled.

I appreciate my conversations with my male friends; the thought movement is never predictable. In the latest installment of “He Said, She Said”, I was urged by a friend to, “grow some ovaries” when relating a story of hesitation with the opposite sex. I laughed profusely.

I urge you to join in a conversation with your male and female peers for eye opening, frank doses of reality dished out by the opposite sex.

Looking forward to a Green Tea Latte and the next installment of “He Said, She Said”,

Ok, so I’ve been on a mission to establish a meaningful friendship with Mr. Crush and I have come to observe that someone else has infiltrated my being. I’m not quite sure how to explain his presence, but he’s here…and I am not kicking him out, at least not yet.

I haven’t taken this distraction seriously, but after a few moments of reflection, it has come to me that I may actually be caught up and liking his presence. [Although I’m not Catholic, I Cross my heart and kiss my imaginary rosary now as I write this.] I have this unrelenting faith that Mr. Crush and I will overcome scheduling conflicts, pride, egos and let love in. So why allow a distraction to cloud my thoughts?

Only time will tell how these two tales will evolve, for now my heart continues to be wrapped up in Mr. Crush. I have been honest and open with the distraction about the existence of Mr. Crush.

I suppose I am the most perplexed with the notion that I may be blind-sided by someone else who will sweep me off my feet – not who I planned but who I need to have  WHOA!!

Do You Like Me?

Do You Like Me?

This piece is inspired by the simple way in which children decipher if someone is mutually “Crushed Out”.

…:::Method:::…

1.Write Note

Do you like me?

Yes □

No □

2. Fold paper and pass to person in close proximity to target, ask them to pass it to Crush.

3. Crush reads note and responds. Note makes reverse journey. You receive answer, good or bad and the rest they say is history.

…:::Flash Forward:::…

In adulthood we often complicate things. Egos come into play, and past relationship successes and failures dictate how relationships blossom. Love is not formulaic nor is it bolstered by ego. It is free flowing and is only successful when couples respect that fact. When we infiltrate the natural feelings that love brings about,with analytical wonderings, we taint the natural experience that would have ensued had we just appeased nature.

…::::Confession:::…

After weeks of self torture, I have made peace with my past, my present and my future. As if that is not cliché enough, I am ready to embrace everything that love has to offer me. I have decided to put away my pretension, reservation and everything else getting in the way of my happiness.

So far my over processing the situation has only caused me insomnia, loss of appetite, loss of focus, misdirection (I literally drove the wrong way down a one way street) and hours of contemplation…I’m done. I’m so gone and that’s ok with me...hope he checks the "yes" box.
