You’ve already met
If I think about all the men I’ve met, dated, dumped, or were dumped by, I really can’t imagine that I would end up with one of them one day. I am pretty sure that if we were “meant” to be together, then things would have happened the first time we crossed paths. What if that’s not the case, though?
I have heard a lot of couples say that they reconnected through Facebook, or found they were living in the same city, and things clicked instantly. Do you think that we meet people at certain times in our lives for a reason?
Is it possible that you have already met or dated the person you are supposed to marry? Do you believe that it’s about timing? How much do you think our life experiences change us? Is it possible that a person can be right for you now, but was wrong for you years ago?
I could be a hopeless romantic here, but do you believe in destiny? Do you think that whatever happens in your love life is going to happen because of destiny?

Good morning, It seems today is call out sick day…
As far as the questionS.. I believe you can reconnect with a person, Im not the same person you knew 4yrs ago. So unless there was a real reason for the split, cheating, abuse, bad in the sack, ABS, kidding on the last one.. I don’t see why not.. As for being Destined for each other, I wouldn’t go that far.. Anyway, Its going to be a long day,, so you guys have a good one…

Good morning. About two years ago, I reconnected with a man I met in college. We were friends then, but I had a big crush on him that I never told him about because he had a girlfriend. So ten years later, we run into each other and right away we decide that this must be destiny. He said that he didn’t want to waste any more time without each other. Needless to say, the more we got to know about each other, the more we knew that it wouldn’t work long term. The short term was great, but the breakup was hard.
I say that to say that I believe that timing and compatibility is what determines if a relationship will be established. Once you have that, it’s the three-legged stool of Love, Friendship and Intimacy that keeps a relationship going once established. Lose one of those legs and the relationship can topple. I don’t believe in “The One”, I believe that there are many people that we can be compatible with and love if they are placed in our path.

Good Morning All,
Ohh Wisey your Cancer spirit is showing today. Here goes..
Do you think that we meet people at certain times in our lives for a reason?
Yes, I think all of our life experience serve to shape us and hopefully at some point provide guidance, if not understanding to someone else.
Is it possible that you have already met or dated the person you are supposed to marry?
YES…and alas I am not sure which moron it was. The same fellows pop in and out of my life..may not make a good marriage but the stories would make one helluva book. Timing is essential and I do believe because we change and grow as people that if the timing was not or the person was not right at 21, it doesn’t mean that they will not be right at 41. You have changed and hopefully so have they. Who’s to say it will not work right now?
I am not so much the hopeless romantic..but I do believe that everything in the universe is connected and that you can be connected to a person (or two). If a person(s) has touched your life so deeply(not just physically touched) then that leaves a connection that no matter the circumstances some how the universe finds away to keep you connected. <<<my deep thought for today.

Of course you can reconnect with someone from your past as I’m a living testament to that. If I was posed this question at least two years ago I would have told you otherwise. However some people change, and when presented with a different set of circumstances it is possible to hit the reset button on an old relationship that had potential.
I’ve known my wife since I was in college, but certainly was not ready for anything serious back then so it didn’t work out. Still she was on the periphial (sp). Ironically, when we did start to date seriously I had another friend who seemed to turn the corner and wanted to press the reset button on something that started years ago. It actually could have worked too, but I cast my lot with with the woman who became my wife. Ultimately it proved to me that some bridges are worth maintaining rather than burning and I’m notorious for buring bridges.

Good Morning All!!!
Do you think that we meet people at certain times in our lives for a reason? Yes, I’ve met some great guys in my past but the timing wasn’t right. I wasn’t mature – they weren’t ready, etc. There was one guy I reconnected with at my high school reunion – we didn’t date in high school, were just real cool. We ‘almost’ hooked up but then we got in a spat about something really petty. By the time he called me again (my birthday) I was with the current love of my life. In the words of OG Blogger Ivy, “oh well to that…”
Is it possible that you have already met or dated the person you are supposed to marry? nope because I’m with him now
Do you believe that it’s about timing? Yes
How much do you think our life experiences change us? I think our life experiences help to build our character and major experiences can really change us.
Is it possible that a person can be right for you know, but was wrong for you years ago? I believe that can be possible. Someone that knew you years ago knows your past and as you’ve both matured the timing can make it right today.
I could be a hopeless romantic here, but do you believe in destiny? Do you think that whatever happens in your love life is going to happen because of destiny? I do believe in destiny. But sometimes we can mess it up. My fiance’ and I were just talking yesterday about how we believe nothing happens by chance.

Happy monday.
I think that there is a good chance that you could have met the one but also you may have THOUGHT you met the one, but you are still getting to know yourself, especially in the college part of your life. You dont know exactly where you want to work or even what city you will live in.
Timing is a big part and sometimes its the right person at the wrong time.
I also think you are constantly growing so that person may or may not be what you are looking for later down the line.
Is it possible that you have already met or dated the person you are supposed to marry?
I think this may have been possible, but I am a notoriously progressive dater. I have coined that term over my dating life and always look at what went wrong/good and add up the total. If bad, cut my losses and move on. I rarely go back to an ex to give it another try.

I guess I have to. My sister dated this guy in college. They were young and stupid, they both had significant others yet were always drawn to each other. Years later, they reconnected on MySpace and were both single. They took a trip together and the rest was history. They just celebrated a year of marriage and now have a baby girl due at the end of the year!!!
Another one of my friends connected with her HS crush on Facebook. They will be married in April.
I guess timing is everything. I try not to look backwards in my relationships, but I could be open to doing so for certain reasons.

As for the question(s) at hand: Anything’s possible. Timing really is everything. It happens for some people and as evidenced by the comments here, they can live happily ever after. However, the men that I dated in my past are out of my life for a reason. I can honestly say that no Facebook messages, MySpace pics, or random coffee house spottings will ever put me back together with any guy from my past. If anything, I’d probably run in the other direction, lol.

I have often thought that I may end up with a woman I currently know. Not one that I have dated, but a woman who has been in my life for years. There are maybe 3 women who I could imagine myself settling down with, but they are all at least 600 miles away. I know if I moved to any of the 3 cities where they live or close to it that we would at least start down the road to marriage if some other guy did not beat me to it.
Those are just the 3 with whom I think there are mutual feelings, I think there are probably 3 more women who want me to settle down with them, but I have no interest in return…but that’s another story.

Hi WD, Good Morning All,
“Do you think that we meet people at certain times in our lives for a reason?” ABSOLUTELY…I’ve just seen too much in my life to believe in “coincidence”.
“Is it possible that you have already met or dated the person you are supposed to marry? Do you believe that it’s about timing?” It is all in the timing. There have been a number of times I met someone at a time when she or I were involved…that in another place and time, could/would have fallen for. (One is happily married in Tupelo MS, but the one night we spent together all those years ago was magical…but she was involved and so was I).
“Is it possible that a person can be right for you now, but was wrong for you years ago?” Maybe, but most likely not. Wrong is wrong usually.
“I could be a hopeless romantic here, but do you believe in destiny? Do you think that whatever happens in your love life is going to happen because of destiny?” I believe in destiny, but the tough part is “what/who” is our destiny. Most of us don’t realize it. My marriage was brought about by a drunken dumbazz (me) dialing a wrong number and starting a conversation. Destiny…I think so. It ended up causing two marriages and seven children (the guy with me that night ended up marrying her sister). Marriage sucked, but I love my children more than anything. Without that wrong number, they would not exist.
Destiny is not necessarily something you see at the time…it is something you see much later…that of all of the possible paths in this world, it wass the one you chose (or was chosen for you) that changed your life, and everyone you touched later.

Good morning everyone!
CONGRATULATIONS, TAZ! Your happiness has been pouring through these pages for quite some time. Yay, for you!
@Kym, Darrell was his name!
Yes, people can change and the “reset” button can be pressed. However, since a lot of folk don’t believe in backtracking, one may never know if they dated someone who might have become their husband. Moving forward, everything happens for a purpose and people are placed in your lives for a reason. Destiny, mestiny, it’s all in your hands.
I have a friend who reconnected with a h.s. mate on Facebook. Both are now in their late 40’s. They’ve been dating long distance and she’s in love and he says he loves her too (from the emails I’ve read). However, she pours her heart out and wears all emotions on her sleeve. People change, some for the best some for the worse. His red flag to me is when he said “you always appeared so strong and levelheaded in school. Now, you don’t seen to handle stress very well.” One’s perception changes as time goes by. Not prudent to live by the thoughts from yesteryear. Life has a way of beating up on some people. My exes will remain my exes!

@ Leggs re: “everything happens for a purpose and people are placed in your lives for a reason” …I believe this one probably more strongly than anything else I believe.
I know most on this blog are not country music fans, but the group Rascal Flatts has some of the best lyrics of any group out there. One song that I know WD is very familiar with is titled “God Bless the Broken Road (that led me straight to you)”. Check it out sometime on line. Why did we choose the path we chose? Like I said, I do not believe in coincidence.
I absolutely believe what you wrote.

Morning all…
Congrats, Tazzee! Okay, so spill it — how did he pop the question? The blog ladies are dying to know, and some of the dudes could use ideas.
On topic — I would like to believe in destiny; that everything happens for a reason & that there is some larger, cosmic plan to everything. It’s a nice thought (well, so long as that cosmic plan isn’t for me to become a man-wh@re, sucking dyck for crack, or something like that). But, my utter rejection of anything resembling an orchestrating higher power won’t let me buy into it. I think there are always opportunities out there, and your life is all about what you make of them.

On topic – While I’m a romantic and I do believe in destiny, some stuff just is NOT meant to be. We want it too so bad cause the story sounds so good and all – “we met back up after 15 years and the love was still there, yada yada! It DOES work quite a bit – one of my sister’s best friends from college met her husband at a Spelman/Morehouse reunion and the rest is history. For me, one of the worst relationships I’ve had was a “meet back up”. I dated very briefly this guy I met at one of my cousin’s 30th birthday party. We went on a few dates, but this other guy I still had feelings for was moving back to town. Fast forward 10 years at another cousin’s wedding reception. I see the same guy and his sister is the one marrying my cousin. Well the attraction was still there and yes it felt like destiny. Plus this dude looked like a taller version of Tyson Beckford. We dated and it was pure H. He was a man ho with a capital H! I have never cussed someone out as bad as I did him. After him I took a year & a half hiatus from dating, until I met my current wonderful SO!

I will not pull out the rewind and repeat button for my answer on this topic. I think timing is everything and I have stated this before.
Over the years there were a few special guys that I had a deep connection with, but the timing was not there. Probably if timing had been different we would have wrapped our arms around each other and made a vow of forever.

I belief in destiny and I believe that certain things are meant to be. However I also believe that we can hinder or prevent those happenings whether on purpose or involuntarily. And I do believe that it comes down to the right time and place for some events to rightfully and/or properly manifest.
Sometimes we have to grow a little more or go thru some other avenues and trials of life to prepare or get to that right place in time to be the right person for each other.
And then sometimes it never come to be because we messed it up some way, some how.

Morning, Leggs — Thanks… I can’t wait. Hopefully the weather this Saturday will resemble the weekend just passed — clear & not-so-hot. Meantime, it’s going to be a busy week. Got to get packed up and moved out of my place this week, as my place is scheduled to close the day after I get back from the honeymoon.
Anyone wanna help me move? I’ll give you all the beer/booze you can drink…
Kym — Yeah, I would like to believe in such things, and at times the romantic side of my brain does take over briefly; then the stone-cold logical side of my brain wakes up & beats the romantic side into submission.
Although, I think there’s still room for romance without believing in any sort of destiny or deeper, cosmic connection, etc. It’s just a different type of romantic idea, I suppose… more about having the desire to “make it be” rather than “it was meant to be…” If that makes any sense…
Now having said that, Swiss Miss & I have both had our houses on the market for quite some time with no luck, and right before the wedding we get contracts on both — so maybe some things are meant to be…

How much do you think our life experiences change us? They shape you as a person, assisting in your development.
Is it possible that a person can be right for you know, but was wrong for you years ago? Im sure its possible however I have never really given much thought to the possibility. I pretty much leave the past at the past.

Speaking of today’s topic & destiny, they were talking about this same subject on Q100 this morning. This lady called in to tell about meeting back up with her high school sweetheart at their 29th reunion back this past July 11. She stayed for about 2 weeks, went back to FLA to tie up some things and is moving back with her son. They are getting married. He has a son the same age – 11. She said all is working out wonderfully.

Destiny..I dont believe in it when it comes to relationships……Yeah I think I let one get away that I should have married…but then again I am glad i didn’t…so..I guess I made the right choice. Timing…depends on who’s time schedule…but I used to beliebe in destiny, timing the goodness of folks i general….not anymore though…life is just what you make it and what you are willing to deal with and what you are not…but that’s just my opinion

Thanks Everyone!
Kimmie – I wouldn’t have picked this ring, but when he put it on my finger I fell in love with it instantly. In our conversations I told him I like white gold and princess cut. Then when he told me why he just had to get this ring, I fell in love with it even more.
Truth – Good to read you man! I’ll have to send GaMan a congratulatory email. Naw, no matching jersey – he’s a Tampa Bay fan, but I’m still working on that.

Tazzee I think you wonderful news has everyone in a fantabulous feeling all lovable mood today. Or it could very well be that the winter is right around the corner and folks looking for a warm body to snuggle up against, but I was surely expecting more “I don’t do do-overs”, “I don’t give second chances” and “they are an ex for a reason” comments like we have seen in the past when the topic of re-dating an ex comes up. You have filled the air with so much love today in addition to your normal pleasantness. LOL

Raqi – I expected more negative responses, too.
I am in a good mood because we went shooting at the gun range this weekend. How can you be anything but happy after a weekend of safe firearm weaponry?
The wife even picked out a Sig P238 (handgun) to purchase for herself. She is headed down to the Courthouse to get a carry/conceal permit for it.

Hey, we need to do something as a blog fam for Tazz. I cant be there physically but whatever I can do to help I will. She’s been a special blogger for so long we have to show up. (This post will appear blank to Tazzee)

@Poppa G/ARed What do you two know about the Dill Ave area of Atlanta, I saw online a couple of cute houses in that area..Capital View area I think? So I wanted to know if that is one of the upswing areas of Atlanta.

Tazzee – Wonderful news! And congrats to you both!
Truth – Nice reading you again…it’s been awhile it seems.
On Topic –
Do you think that we meet people at certain times in our lives for a reason?… Of course.
Is it possible that you have already met or dated the person you are supposed to marry? …I really don’t know how to answer that..can’t call it.
Do you believe that it’s about timing? I believe timing to be a big part of the equation, but not necessarily its entirety. Depends who you ask…
How much do you think our life experiences change us? This depends on the individuals involved and if they’re willing to allow themselves to grow. Depending on one’s resistance/open-ness to the thought of “change,” our life experiences has the potential to have an insignificant or dramatic impact…again depends on the individual, their mentality and self awareness.
Is it possible that a person can be right for you now, but was wrong for you years ago? I certainly do. Some call it growth.
I could be a hopeless romantic here, but do you believe in destiny? Do you think that whatever happens in your love life is going to happen because of destiny? Unsure of that as well. I’m simply of the belief that everything comes along in our lives for a reason, whether we’re receptive to it or not…ready or not. However, I do believe depending on the roads we travel, we will and do have an impact on how we get from point A to point B…but arriving at point B nonetheless.

Hey Ya’ll……long time no blog………I just had to post a “CONGRATULATIONS to Ms. Tazzee Mae Jenkins…….Go on girl……yeah I do think it is something in the air.
What’s up ARED, MELO, LEGGS, FOOTS, DAN, INFAMOUS, W8, RAQI……I have been lurking trying to stay under IT’s radar, you guys are definately true to this blog.
I wish all of you all who are seeking love and exploring the possibility of being in a relationship to be true to yourself. Meeting and re-connecting can be a good thing, if the relationship didn’t end for obvious reasons ( i.e. cheating, abuse, illegal activities, etc.) People grow, people change, people mature……it is worth a chance to at least see what could be.
Until the next time………………peace!!!!

I have two really good friends that live in that area. One has had a very good experience in the Capital View area. No problems, good neighbors, and no robberies at all in six years. He has really made his house look very good and yard looks good, too.
However, the other has had more problems than good. He has had more than his share of break-ins. For example, he went on vacation to Rio and came back to find that his house had been broken into and the whole HVAC system was stolen. He has found out that his house was once the house of the nieghborhood crackhouse and some people still come around thinking that it is back in business. Even the cops walked in saying “Wow!! They’ve done wonders to this place!”
I had to show up one time when his alarm went off and he was out of town
Both got money to move into that area. I think that they got first time homebuyer statuses and got even more money. Both have bungalows.
I agree with ya though that there are some nice houses there.

Definition for destiny:
1. somebody’s preordained future: the apparently predetermined and inevitable series of events that happen to somebody or something
we always say *it happened for a reason*. destiny is the reason why ppl believe this. yes, i believe in destiny. and i know that some folks come into my life so that i can stay on the right track to where i’m suppose to be going. i just stay optimistic and keep looking straight ahead.

Hey Ared,
the plans are coming about. He wants to get married at the courthouse and have a banging reception; but I want the whole church wedding and reception. Eventhough we both were married before, I still did not get to have my princess moment and this time around, I want it to be exactly they way I want it. He has come around to the whole church wedding, but he is planning the reception details all by himself.
We are now debating where, here in Lawrenceville or near his hometown in Tallahassee. If we have it here in ATL, there will definately be evites to my blog peoples!!!!
