Opposites attract or like attracts like? It is an age old question in how certain people you could never see together click like a seat belt while others who you would see as perfect mix like oil and water? There is simple solutions to all of it. Those who prepared will succeed, those who fly by the seat of their pants will miss opportunity after opportunity.

Example: I dated for a year a woman who was everything, in my head, should be the shining example of well put together. She owned her own business and did very well. She was a widow with children, owned her home, loved to travel, wine, expensive dinners, early 40’s and smart as a whip.

I was low 30’s, running an entertainment complex, same interests, single and never married. On paper we should have never had a second date. My annual salary could not cover her taxes.

For whatever reason our relationship went white hot overnight (no not from sex) and we were together full time around work. Well for a time anyway. What went wrong? I was ready for a relationship, she was not. Timing. We were the same outside socio-economics, our interests ran parallel, we could sit and talk over a bottle of wine and just enjoy. She wanted a fun time, I was in my ealy 30’s wanna be married mode. Bad timing.

We were not a ‘match’ per-se, but we matched enough. Sadly she was not prepared for me. the relationship was wonderful for the time it was, and so will your be. Just make sure when you start dating that match, you are as prepared for a relationship as you can be, and then let the relationship carry you as far as it will. Enjoy the dating world!
