Getting to
know someone new in your life is like unboxing a new pair of converse.
They excite
you and the moment you slide in with one foot feels like a potencial new
beginning. The beginning of new adventures, new stories that only wait to
unfold themselves. You might start walking around and explore the new sensation
- dating someone is just like that. Dating is kind of a "relationship try
on" including the option of "return within 14 days" if it
doesn't fit your needs. The one you date is like your new pair of converse, you try them on and then you start
walking. After a while you'll either
take them off because they gave you nothing but blistered, bloody heels
or they feel like an old beloved friend who you've known for years as it seems.
Walking in
your new converse won't give you exactly the same feeling as you have had with
your good old ones - but after a while you clearly feel if they have the
potencial to go from "try on" to "my new favorite". Dating
should be more than just getting to know eachother on a superficial level or
eat & wine the shit out of eachother. let's try on eachother for a while,
let's walk through deep woods and thrilling heights. Value your feet the same
way you value your mind & heart. There is no shame in looking at it as a
true & fair "relationship try on including the option of return".
If expectations & needs are met then why not put on the second shoe and
begin walking on new paths together? The best feeling is when you like them so
much that you simply can't feel uncertain about wearing them, you just do it
because you know that they will carry you just like the good old ones - through
thick and thin. They will get softer and softer after time, they will get a
little dirty and worn - that is what I seek: something real to experience,
something real to build on. Why not see dating as a trial menu? In the end we
all wish for someone who feels like home to us.
