"You're going to miss out..."

My good friend Eric text me last night with the following comment, "You're going to miss out on another great guy...". And, he's right. Again I have allowed my own fear and insecurities to keep me from trying to have a successful relationship. I have put my job, my family, and my own interests at the forefront of my life...purposely...forcing any romantic relationship to take a backseat. The most difficult part in coming to terms with the truth of this statement is that I have pushed away a really great guy...one that has never done anything but show me the truest of friendships and unbelievable patience.
