meeting someone I never expected to see again.

About two years ago, I met this really awesome guy. We went out, but soon decided it wasn't the right time. We'd pretty much lost touch until very recently. He found my old contact info and got in touch. We've been talking for the past couple weeks and ended up going to a concert with some of his friends. Things went so much better than they did the first time, partly because the pressure was off and we could just enjoy the night.

I'm really happy with how things turned out, but I'm trying to fight the emotional side right now (the reason I'm writing). I'm really trying to not dwell on how much I like him (I'm really picky, so often I'm ambivalent about the guys I date..not this one though). I'm also trying not to think about the "will he call me" or "what happens next." I'm not sure if he is thinking friendship only, so it's hard to know if the 48 hr. rule applies (he'll call in 2 days if he's interested) and letting him make the next move is something I should follow (I probably will follow the latter in any case).

The good thing is I have so many great things going on with my life (the new sisters, school, work, ballet) that if it doesn't work out, I'll be totally distracted so I won't dwell, but I'm not sure I'd 100% forget and move on (I moved on this past two years, but he's always been in the back of my mind).

If anything, I just can't believe how much I like this guy. I'm beyond happy that we were able to re-connect [(we knew each other in one city, then each of us subsequently moved (without each other knowing) and ended up in the same new city]. My rational side says coincidence, but I can't believe how we've been given a second chance to cross paths.

Ultimately, I want it to be his decision whether we go out again. I know I like him, but I would like it to be mutual (friendship or otherwise). At this point, I guess I just need to think positive (if it was meant to be it will work). I also really need to write my history homework so I can't dwell any longer, but if you do have any thoughts I'd love to read them!
