Don Juan
I've had lots of women in my life over the years but nothing that has left an impact like this one.
It didn't even last long. A six month whirlwind in early 2018. A situation where you meet someone and instantly click. But she was fiercely hot and cold. Disappeared twice without explanation only to came back a few weeks later. Would gush about how much I meant to her one day, and be distant the next.
I tried to play it cool. Dated other girls. But the highs and lows made an undeniable emotional impact.
She disappeared a final time that summer. And although she reached out over text several times the following months, they didn't go anywhere and I never saw her again. I pressed forward, telling myself I dodged a bullet, but never quite put it behind me and would still think about it from time to time.
Fast forward to yesterday. She has a new profile on a dating app. We match and she instantly messages. We exchange the usual "catch up" pleasantries then she changes the topic and tells me that she hopes I have no hard feelings, she always thought very fondly of me, that a connection like ours was hard to find, she hated to disappear, etc.
We exchanged numbers again and moved to text in the evening, she asked if I was still spontaneous, which was our old cue for meeting up spur of the moment. I took the bait but quickly backtracked when it seemed like she wasn't serious or I misunderstood and let the conversation taper off soon after that.
So now, three years to the day after the last time we spoke, she's back. Think I'll let her be the one to reach out to me and explain how it's going to be different before I agree any meet-ups. Maybe it won't even go anywhere but it has stirred up old emotions and memories from four years ago. Thoughts appreciated!
