  • So, I kinda met someone…

    Where should I begin?

    She contacted me last weekend, saying that she was going to be in town for a conference and wanted to see if I could meet up (in case you’re wondering yes, she is a Xangan).  I didn’t know her too well at the time, but after talking for a bit and also after finding out she’s friends in real life with someone I’ve met up with before I decided it wouldn’t hurt to see her.

    Turned out to be a good decision.  We met up for the first time last Monday and it seemed like we really clicked.  Our sense of humor and conversations were really in sync, which made the evening fly by.  Before the end of the night, I already knew I had to see this girl again before she left.

    I did end up seeing her again Thursday night and most of Friday.  Without giving away too much details, we became…quite fond of one another (lets leave it at that for now ).  Sadly, the bittersweetness of this experience finally caught up with us as she finally had to return home this past Saturday, with home being California (more evidence supporting my theory that California is where I belong).

    What are we now, exactly?  To be honest, I’m not totally sure myself.  It’s definitely a bit complicated.  This could have very well ended up as just a nice vacation romance were it not for the fact that we’ve grown slightly attached to one another.  However, we also understand the sucky reality of our situation.  Now that distance is a big factor for us, what can we really do?

    I guess if you had to label it, you could say we are pretty much in an open relationship.  I know I know, that has a lot of bad connotations and I’ve never really been in one, but after discussing with her this was the option that made the most sense to us.  If distance wasn’t such an issue we would most likely go out.  Unfortunately, due to this major obstacle, in addition to the fact we only known each other for a short time, we don’t want to hold each other back if we happen to meet someone in our respective areas. 

    I’m sure in due time we will reevaluate our situation and decide if it’s better to just stay friends, become an exclusive relationship, or maybe become enemies haha.  Fortunately, the situation isn’t totally hopeless.  I am looking into visiting her area during Thanksgiving break and I have strongly entertained the idea of moving to CA eventually, which is something I’ve been thinking about way before I met her.  From her side, she has connections with the DC/MD area and might end up staying over here one day.  Who knows?  As you can see, the future is quite uncertain.

    I don’t know what will happen next, but this I do know; she makes me happy.  I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this will all plays out.  For now, I’m just enjoying the ride.
