Does anyone out there believe in soul mates?
I'm sure that I have just found mine. Besides being absolutely beautiful, she is caring and kind, and puts the needs of others ahead of her own. She's driven and determined and a total romantic. She's also one of the biggest dorks I've ever met, which is awesome. It's like she mirrors me.
I've known her for 2 years, and have had chances to hang out with her before, but never really spent any time with her outside of work related conferences. This weekend, I went to Chicago to train some people, and she was there to help with the training. After the training was over on Saturday, we went out to a bar down by Wrigley Field and had a few drinks, played some pool, and talked about life in general, and ours in particular. We like all the same things, are around the same level of intelligence (even though she has a Masters Degree, and I've just picked up knowledge over the years), and are both completely dedicated to the cause of helping homeless and street kids.
After a guy that she had met in Chicago a couple of months before showed up, we started drinking more, as he was buying all the drinks and shots. I kind of feel bad, because we ended up leaving him at the bar without saying anything. On the other hand, all he was doing was cutting me out of any conversations and trying to get her into bed. So we said we were going out for a smoke, and went back to the hotel.
When we got back to the hotel, we were in the elevator and she told me that she doesn't like people that play games. She just wants someone who will be honest with her, even if they are all fucked up drunk. We got to the door of the hotel room...I turned around, looked deep into her beautiful blue eyes and said "Jess, I know I may be fucked up right now, but for the last two years I've been afraid to hang out with you because of how beautiful you are and how attracted I am to you. I didn't want to set myself up for rejection, because I've always thought that you were out of my league. I just can't let this pass by without taking a shot."
I went in for the kiss and she returned it. That night, we cuddled in her bed all night, and it's the most comfortable I have felt with a woman in a long time. There are a lot of obstacles in the way, such as her living in Detroit, and me living near Seattle, but I will be seeing her many times over the next 8 months. As I was walking away to catch my plane, I looked into her eyes and told her that if she was willing to try long distance, then so was I, especially since we would be together once a month.
I just hope I didn't make my move to late. She was flying out the same day to go to South Dakota to meet someone that she had met on eHarmony. I've never felt this way before, like I had just met my twin soul, and I just hope I'm not to late.
Even though I don't really believe, I prayed to any god that would listen last night, and I never do that.
