Got on my bicycle, I know not why, oh ya, won't find a woman sitting here inside. Riding around, it's good for my soul. I look up to see a smiling face, "Hi, how are you?" I stop and strike up a conversation. I ask her, "would you like to take a bike ride?" She says "sure, give me an hour." So we take a ride together, share some conversation. It pleases me, I'm just trying to be a friend. "How about tomorrow?" She asks. We make plans to do something, weather permitting. Tomorrow comes we go out for a few beers. We ride our bikes back to her home. She invites me in, I meet her Mom. Getting late, I head for home. Today we again take a long ride around the peninsula. For some reason, our conversation gets weird, different ideals and opinions. Tonight I feel sad. I was so happy, a new friend, how could that be bad? Not wanting to seem impatient I don't want to push it. She's pretty, young and heads turn in her direction. It seems she, we, end up talking about current events and differ greatly, tension inside me builds. "I'll call you after work tomorrow and we'll go for a ride." I tell her "sure, I'd like that much." Trying to keep my feelings in check. This lonely heart must have a void the size of a black hole in space. Being careful not to fly too high. I'm grateful for the friendship, for the company too. My emotions are bringing me grief. Not to worry though. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. [image] |

Thanks Cloud, the moral of the story is.......get out of the house. Not going to meet anybody sitting around vegetating.

Getting out of the house definitely increases your chances of meeting someone, and I highly recommend the friends first take it slow approach. All good things happen in time, and if this is a good thing...it will happen. Good luck to you Blogger Bob!

On the next bike ride, take a left on DeadEnd Road. It will get you right to where you are going with her. Can't you read the road signs? Yip, lookin in that rear view mirror is like 20/20.

different ideals and opinions This can be good to have different opinions on things. As long as there is a healthy level of difference as well as things in common to balance things out, then why not continue to see where things go from here?? Going slow is the key to friendships which could later develop into something down the road. No two people are exactly alike...think alike, enjoy the same things etc. There will always be differences. Good luck with it Bob.

Hello Belle.

Addendum I'm grateful for the diversion this experience brought to me. I'm on the right track by getting out and talking to people, especially women. Being able to communicate is the foundation of a friendship. Mutuality is also very important. Perhaps someone a little closer to my age also. Even though I try to be open minded, I think age is an important factor in any friendship. Thanks to all who read or commented on this one.

It's not like I'm going to turn down her invitations to go for bike rides around the peninsula, I'm not. She called this morning and left a message. Maybe I should just keep quiet if and when she says something controversial. She's a good person and like Shari said "friends first take it slow approach." Would I even be blogging about this if she didn't mean something to me? Of course not. Getting to know someone new can be fun, exciting and a little scary. It's a nice challenge.

I suppose I need to revamp my thinking. I have to respect others opinion, no matter how much I disagree, I haven't the right to deem the other party as being wrong. I'm seeing the road signs though.... Trouble ahead Proceed with caution Enter at your own risk You been warned
