]]> Comment on Day 641: I had a date (or how I went from Baltimore to Colorado). by Zero Dean http://blog.zerodean.com/2012/blog/i-had-a-date/#comment-560 Zero Dean Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:54:00 +0000 http://blog.zerodean.com/?p=1249589809#comment-560 :) Thanks for your comment. You know, I used to think that yeah, maybe IF I'd done THIS or THAT I could've met "the one", but I'm more inclined to believe that it will happen when it happens -- kind of like you state. With regard to this particular situation -- I've been living my life mostly by intuition (not "logic") for the past 21 months, and I can't really say it has ever "failed" me. I'd like to think that there would've been "more" there to grasp onto if she was the one... and even if I didn't feel it, then SHE would have... as it does take two to make a relationship work. I just didn't sense that spark -- and based on her response, I don't think she did either. Thanks again Sarah. Zero :) Thanks for your comment.

You know, I used to think that yeah, maybe IF I’d done THIS or THAT I could’ve met “the one”, but I’m more inclined to believe that it will happen when it happens — kind of like you state.

With regard to this particular situation — I’ve been living my life mostly by intuition (not “logic”) for the past 21 months, and I can’t really say it has ever “failed” me. I’d like to think that there would’ve been “more” there to grasp onto if she was the one… and even if I didn’t feel it, then SHE would have… as it does take two to make a relationship work.

I just didn’t sense that spark — and based on her response, I don’t think she did either.

Thanks again Sarah.

I know Padonia Station well. :) As for when I realized I was moving on -- if you read my status page, I mentioned on the 26th that I wasn't feeling particularly tied to the area anymore and was already getting wanderlust...But it sort of "maxed out" once I hit the open road and realized I was looking forward to continuing my journey more than I was looking forward to staying. And although I was looking forward to my date, my mindset was telling me that even if it went well, it probably wasn't going to be that "magical" thing I was hoping for that would make me change all my priorities and stick around Maryland a lot longer... so that wasn't really fair to my date, either. I don't know -- I've spent so much time listening to my intuition even when it didn't appear to make a lot of sense... this was just another one of those times. I went with my gut.

Don't remember much about Leesburg though so I'm gonna say you didn't miss much :-) But, in Towson is my favorite bar of all time - "Padonia Station". They have a good restaurant, good drinks & an awesome arcade where you can shoot hoops, play air hockey and a first person shooter game that I loved - Time Police maybe? Good times!  How did it become clear to you that your date was with the open road instead of the chica?

When I drove from Virginia Beach to Tucson, I loaded up on granola bars and gave handfuls to each person who seemed to need it along the way. I encountered a lot of homeless in  Tennessee, but that was nothing compared to Tucson. I finally realized that it really wasn't about what they chose to do with whatever I gave them - even money; it was much more about what *I* did and how I handled the situation. After all, we can't control what other people do, ever.  I have struggled with the same thoughts – money vs. food.
