An Unexpected Flit of Excitement.

 Upon glancing at the latest portrait of a woman I have thought about lately, with the inclination to think she might be a great partner to pursue, I honestly had a physical reaction, somewhat of a gasp at her beauty in a way I was not prepared for. I have always thought her to be an attractive woman but I don't recall the last time I had this kind of reaction. I don't want to highlight it in such a way that blows it out of proportion but it does seem significant to me that it happened which is why I am taking the time to put this down in writing in the first place.

So... what do I do about it? I plan to reach out to her to see if she'd be interested in catching up. I've never had the idea she was ever attracted to me(I've known her for maybe close to 15 years) but she did always treat me with respect. I don't have any illusions that because of my life's journey away from the church that she would even consider me any sort of potential candidate for anything serious... but... I still think she seems worth making the attempt and if she shoots me down at least I'll know she wasn't the one for me. And that's totally okay. And such is the way of life.
