Open Letter
Tuesday, June 26, 2007
I haven’t done one of these open letters to myself in a long time…
Dear NYC.Lezie,
I know that you are quite taken with- dare I say smitten? – A certain lady who is a great kisser and knows how to pick her cocktails. She is attentive and she is dorky in the best kind of way.
And I can see that the chemistry is there.
That said I encourage you to stop the freefall plunge into attachment just yet. It is perfectly fine to want things to work out. You do deserve a nice woman who is capable of having an adult relationship and have an adult/intelligent conversation (remember your last one? – enough said). But you can’t confuse this lusty flirtation with anything more than the beginnings of a really good crush with fun extracurricular activities.
And until she shows her hand, hold yours close to your own body. Call me cynic, dear, but there is nothing that says that slowly giving into your desires and developing feelings is bad. In fact, truth be told, it is probably much better to take a step back and wait for her next move. You are stuck in the haze, my dear. You are even having inappropriate thoughts about her involvement in your life. Aren’t you? I know you are. And that one about…was fantastic, if I do say so myself.
Make sure she is right before you get attached. Don’t put the dreams of a relationship before the right girl.
Put down the phone. Stop checking it obsessively. And if she doesn’t call, let it be. She may be busy.
Now go, have a Cosmo and stop thinking about her.
Sincerely,
NYC.Lezie.

If these "open letters" help you figure complicating situations out... I'm going to grab a notebook right now and get started.
