I went out with this guy a few times, nice guy, great qualities, really smart. We had some great conversations… However, some people are great but just not "the ones"… After the third date I spent some time thinking about this guy and whether I should give him another date or not…
After much deliberation, I decided that as wonderful as this human being is, he is not my future husband and happy to have finally found clarity, I dialed the matchmaker.
She picks up the phone and tells me that although the boy liked me very much, he doesn't think this is it. I smiled and taking the mature side, I said, I had a wonderful time and held back my two year old screaming within me: "Na na na kishkish" I was going to say "No" anyways."
I hung up the phone. I am fine, right? It was mutual, the dating was a great experience, etcetera…. We are two great shoes, just not a pair, all of tha wonderful stuff.
And yet, there was that little voice within me saying, what? How could he say no? If I was going to say no, and everything made sense, why was I still upset?
BECAUSE I AM HUMAN! And it is extremely unpleasant to be rejected. For whatever reason.
Shakespeare wrote in Othello: Faint heart never won fair lady.
Dating is not for the faint hearted. One has to be strong, so strong to go out there open up over and over again, reject, get rejected.
Dating is the only way to get from single hood to marriage, so if one doesn't pay the price, one doesn't get the prize…
Be strong, the right one is out there for each and every one of us
