Dating With Kids

I just finished watching a made for TV movie, “Coco Chanel”. This movie made me realize a few things in regards to my dating. It is funny how a movie that I turned on because I love fashion had such and affect on the thoughts of my love life. As a single mom, I tend to over analyze everything when it comes to dating.

Chanel lost her the love of her life because she was afraid to go with her feelings. She let her mind lead her and it ended up taking her away from her love until it was too late. I have realized that I am in many ways like her. I have tried to reason and talk my way in and out of different things in my dating life. I have only occasionally listened to my heart. My heart tells me that the man that I am dating is the love of my life. I know this without doubt. My mind looks at every sentence uttered and action or lack of action as a reason that our relationship will fail. If I keep at this, I may lose the love of my life. I hope the fact that I know this will help me to escape the trap that I am falling into.
