I must agree with Ericka-that period of "anticipation" is a time that compares to no other.
Ladies, all I can say is, after 10 years of dating(off and on) and 21 years of marriage to the same man, it only gets better-IF there is love, trust and commitment. The most difficult time is when the babies need you at all hours and exhaustion sets in. If you have a man who is understanding, it all falls into place somehow. Actually, it's almost like reverting back to the begining when spontaneity and creativity kick back in, not to mention the re-emergence of anticipation.
When we look at each other we don't "see" what others see.
I'm still 27 and he's 28. I'm "the girl with those great legs" and he's the "sexy, Southern, bad boy" who made my heart race and tied my stomach in knots. This is the real prize and sad to say, jumping in and out of bed with numerous "aquaintances", living for the pleasure of the moment, can blind you to what we ALL are hoping for in the end-to NOT be alone. This is not a condemnation af sexual liberation, it is merley a point to consider.
It's hard enough to find the right one. Here's a twist on a common analogy. When shopping, you don't pull out a sweater and buy it, you lok it over-see if it's shop worn-is it an irregular-WHAT WILLTHIS COST ME-all these things before you even try it on... Sometimes it's a very pretty sweater and it's on sale! You are very tempted-some WILL try it on, others will keep looking and a few will buy it because it's there and it's cheap. Who will be the happiest? I think the one who keeps looking until thy find what they really want. Too bad for the ones who bought the first sweater they saw. There was a "perfect" one on the next isle...they didn't take the time to find it.
