Playing With Matches

What started as a means of chronicling the online dating experiences of two picky yet adventurous almost thirty somethings has turned into a chronicle of all that is, was and has made up their collective dating histories. Our two original daters are now joined by several other fun, breezy, sassy gals, and Playing With Matches is now a missive on dating misadventures, a cacophony of ups and downs, turmoil and bliss. With a bit of snark mixed in here and there.

Who are these horoscope writers? And do they know me??

For the second day in a row I have been amazed at the complete accuracy of my horoscope. Yes, I know that anyone can analyze and/or rationalize any horoscope and make it fit into her life. But these are really OTT, exactly what is going on in my life. Now, I'm not an astrology buff or one who even takes things like this that seriously. But...

You have been rather serious recently and although you continue to feel the intensity of these past weeks, your spirit feels lighter today. Recent issues have not played through, yet now you can see what is happening through a more philosophical lens. Don't talk yourself into a moralistic position merely to avoid the messiness of the situation. There is something to learn by delving into your unresolved feelings.

  1. Serious lately? I most certainly have been. The RCB thing has made me anxious (in a good way, most of the time) and, as the husband of one of my bff's noted on Sunday (post-RCB) "not as spunky as usual." I am definitely thinking about things on a more than "right here, right now" level.
  2. These past three weeks have been nothing short of intense.
  3. My fears and apprehension about the situation and what may or may not be going on ("recent issues") on the sidelines have not come to fruition. In fact, my suspicions are pretty much ill conceived, for the most part. I have realized I am worrying about nothing and have no reason to be doing so, which leads to...
  4. I am looking at this in a whole new light, based on the facts above but also because of the conversation I had with my mother.
  5. Unfortunately, I pretty much already talked myself into a moralistic position to avoid messiness, and there's nothing I can do to change that. However, I am not certain that was a bad position to corner myself into at the time. And that doesn't mean I am married to that position.
  6. Ugh, unresolved feelings galore. If I get the gumption, perhaps I will delve into them. But, I'm really kind of enjoying the fly by the seat of my pants mentality I am trying so hard to embrace.

I haven't been reading my horoscope bc the last ones I read talked about job uncertainty and problems with the person i'm interested in. I don't want either of those things!
