First Round Draft Pick: An Introduction

This weekend my BF is going out of town...again. He'll be on the Northern portion of the East Coast to see about a client...again. No big deal - it's his job. I'm just glad his roommate is also out of town so I can stay at his house all weekend instead of my granny's. =)

What BF doesn't know is that I know that during this business excursion, he'll be cutting off his last "friend". For those who follow me on Twitter, you know that I moved away from BF in December 2006. Our relationship was not exclusive, so we were both dating other people; but I knew that in his heart, I was his first round draft pick, just as much as he was mine.

But in late 2008, I moved back. It was a sudden move. During a visit in August of 2008, I let him know of my intent to move back home. In October of 2008, I visited again for job interviews. In November 2008, I relocated. [Yea, I was not playing around.] The good thing about moving back was that I knew BF and I would resume dating. The drawback of such a sudden relocation is that now he must deal with the other women he was currently dating.

Some women would be offended by this. Not me. I think it's a natural process of dating. While dating BF, I dated numerous people prior to moving to the West Coast and while living on the West Coast and since I knew I was moving back, I took steps to cut these men off before moving back home. BF didn't have that advantage. So I know he's been spending quite a bit of time dealing with these women - ignoring phone calls, text messages, explaining why he has been limiting his contact, etc. Again, some women would be offended by this. Not me. At least I know that he was actively in the dating pool and has had plenty of opportunity to compare and contrast me to a bunch of other women - this lessens the risk that he questions his decision that I'm the one, that he'll resent being with me over someone else, or ever think "what if I'd dated that one girl".

But I can't pretend that I just knew we'd be together or that I just know he's cutting off other women...In the next five blogs, I present a series of dreams I've had over the last 3 years that let me know that my BF was "the one" and have forever changed the way I view dating and relationships.

Enjoy!
