Flirting with the Future
...to coin a phrase. I googled the phrase and although people have used it in titles and the like, I am officially coining it as of today to fit with my definition.
"Flirting with the Future" means thinking of, fantasizing about, hypothetically dreaming of future possibilities with the person you are dating when it is entirely too early for those thoughts. Thinking of what it would be like to live together, buy a house, wake up next to him/her everyday, share family time, play with his/her kids, have him/her play with your own kids, etc...
I think everyone does this from time to time, even the first minute upon meeting someone sometimes. But most people will immediately dismiss it - just a fantasy. But what about when you don't dismiss it? What about if you really can see it? Like when it seems you are viewing a window through time - you are looking into the future, a possible future even though your feet are still on the dirt. Head's in the clouds but body is still grounded.
Too soon too tell but the future looks nice... and I enjoy flirting.
=D

I challenge you to define "too early".
-Kathryn
Kathryn - "too early" that's easy. When you know it is too early, it is too early. When you no longer feel it is too early then it's not. Like my circular logic?
Ailyn - Good for you bud.
HAVE fun dude!!
If you can see the future with that person, that's a great sign... I'm happy 4 you.
wow someone is actually falling in love here...
I think it's time for an update....
wow!
Its a good sign that life is good when there is no update for awhile. :) Congrats.
I hear you on the flirting with the future! I have planned like 9 weddings in my head - either with input from my friends or not - and one of these weddings I planned, was with someone I had just met.
I think that Jon is right - you know when it is too soon and when it isn't. You just know.
Dating as an adult is different than dating at 16 or 18 or ever 25. You want different things when you are in your 30's. Or when you have children. You know what you want, and you go get it. You just know.
Sometimes, it takes a lot of work...but is is work that brings you closer to your goal? Or is it work that takes you further away? If you know the answer to those questions, then it is never too early.
LOL.
Where'd ya go??
