Lately, a lot of things are surprising me and slowly I am learning more and more about myself. For a long time I had a 'type'. I liked the same 'type' of guys. Lately, a friend was nice enough to point out to me that my 'type' clearly isn't a good kind for me, otherwise I wouldn't still be single and have had the bad experiences I have. I never thought of it that way, until very recently.
Of course there were a slew of 'bad boys' that I was attracted to and flirted with back in the day but I would not allow it to go further because they did not fit this 'type' I was looking for. I don't think I missed out on the "what if". I like to think I am a good judge of character (that may be debatable) otherwise, maybe I would have pursued it a little more, but I like to think that some instinct told me *danger* and stay away, as some people are just too opposite to ever work out.
However, lately, I am starting to think that some people can really surprise you and I find myself making decisions that flat out shock me but also that make me smile.
Sometimes its good to do what is "uncharacteristic" of you and see what happens. Have you seen "YES MAN" ? I think of life that way sometimes... If you instinct is to say NO, say Yes this one time... and see what happens! You never know who you'll meet!! :)
