Her #4

So . . . this is a strange one. I wouldn't have counted it, but that thing 2 told me that I could. Whilst in my old home town on business, I had drinks with EW of EEB. So . . . whilst with EEB, I heard stories . . . you know . . . the types of stories that you hear from a current of an ex. So, it turns out that we have a TREMENDOUS amount in common . . . we both have a background in performance, love to cook, lived in the same 2 cities, and . . . work for the same parent company. Within my job, it is imperative that I know all of the players in all of the brands . . . so knowing her is important. Even more than that . . . she is amazing. It's funny . . . we all see different parts of one another when in relationships, so it's interesting to look from another angle . . . but she is incredible. My regret for her? I don't think that at the time that she was married to him that she was as confident as I am (a fault as that may be) and I can't even begin to imagine what she felt during the course of this relationship. She is at an amazing place in her life, and realizes that all things prior lead to where she is right now. And she knows what I've dealt with . . .

Anyway . . . why can it be a "date?" Well . . . it will probably lead to a more "real" relationship than any other that I have been/may go on . . . plus . . . we are colleagues once removed. I owe a lot to the short time that I have spent with her, and wish to her only the best things in love, life and happiness. It is very strange when you come to the realization of why the "gods" throw certain things at you . . . was it the something that you originally encountered? Or that with which you gained through the original encounter?

So the date? We didn't even talk EEB. We talked work, each of our lives at the moment, our respective cities, our past lives, and how we will be intertwined via work. Left it KNOWING for a fact that I will see her again ;) Best date yet? Mayhaps.
