Slow to launch
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’ve had some relationships that were, well, slow to start. One man I dated a few years ago had taken me out on one of the best first dates I’ve ever had, only to wait until five months later to ask me out a second time! Later during our relationship I asked him what took so long between date one and date two! He said he wasn’t really sure, just that he was “figuring things out” during that time.
Currently, I’m dating a guy that I see potential with and love getting to know, but this holiday season is proving a difficult time to do it! We’re both so incredibly busy and involved that we’re finding it hard to carve out time for each other this month! We’re both legitimately swamped with holiday parties, traveling home to see families and other activities we’re involved with this season. It seems as though we won’t really be able to start anything until the new year!
Have you ever had relationships that were slow getting out of the starting blocks? Is it because you’re someone who takes your time or because of other circumstances? Did it give you more time to reflect on how things were going early on in the relationship?
Are there seasons of your life (holidays, work-related, other) that make it hard to begin a relationship? Have you ever had a relationship not work out simply because it was too difficult to get a hold of the other person?
Happy Monday, everyone!
