My Shangri La in General

Four days in a row with at least three hours on the phone. Tonight was almost four.
We’ve been through the X-files. The same strange juxtapositions that always seem to happen when you are getting to know someone.
She was briefly a radio personality. My uncle is still a radio personality. She was a lifeguard. I was a lifeguard. She flew as aircrew with the Coast Guard. I was a Navy Aviator.
I did my time as a single father. She is still a single mother.
Heh. Get this: She was a model for Ocean Pacific back in the 80s.
The only problem I see here is I have (had?) a rule about not getting serious again with anyone I meet online. I am so gun shy now that I don’t trust my instincts.
I know if I am attracted to someone within a second of meeting them face to face. I love everyone I have ever met on the phone.
We have talked about great loves and passing acquaintances and whether there can ever be “the one.”
She leaned in a few times and asked if I would ever marry again. And asked what would happen if it turned out I really liked her. I didn’t have good answers.
Something about crossing bridges when you get to them. I’m usually pretty quick on my verbal feet but sometimes I fall flat.
This is all the time we’ve got, right here and right now.
We’ve planned a late breakfast or early lunch for next week - after this next snow mess rolls through.
It will be very interesting to see if there is any chemistry.

What I'm saying is the both of you appear to be sufficiently compatible with each other.

No need for fleet-footed responses... there are no wrong/bad answers if they're honest ones. I'll be interested to read the entry after this "late breakfast or early lunch" meeting... GL.

Hope there's chemistry, fireworks, and shooting stars :)

Get over it, meet soon, and find out for sure if all the talk is just talk or not. Don't wait until you've built up this image in your head that you can't replace with the real thing when you see it.

Interesting... Seems like she was addressing the marriage / what would happen ? issues pretty quickly :-)
