The next morning I awoke with a fresh outlook. Friends is all Matt and I would be. I decided if we saw each other today, which I was pretty sure he’d spend the day with his new friend Ava, I intended to keep our relationship to nothing more than just friends. The type of friends most people are, not being naked in front of each other and teasing each other in a manner that led to sexual tension.

At least that was my decision right now.

I went ahead and took a shower, did my make-up, hair and slipped on jean shorts with a top that helped me feel good about myself — and my new life choices.

My first thing to do today was reassess my life and my new plan. I grabbed some coffee and a notebook and sat down at our small dining room table. I made sure to face the windows, which looked out toward the city skyline. I loved this apartment more and more every day.

I stared out the window and thought about what I really wanted from a new relationship. What was it about my relationship with Charles that bothered me so much? Was it that he was perfect for my mother? That wasn’t it. He has amazing qualities. So what was missing that I craved? Needed.

Romance.

While I didn’t need to have sweeping, whirlwind romance, I didn’t want the romance to be Charles taking my car into the shop for me. That was not romance.

Not perfect.

While that one wasn’t really an item that most people list, I wanted to make sure the person I fall in love with won’t need me to be perfect all the time. I don’t want to have to constantly live up to someone else’s standards. I could call my mom if I felt the need for that.

I sat there staring at my two items on my list. I tapped my pen against the notebook as if that would help me think things through.

Were those the only two things that bothered me about Charles? There had to be something else. I wouldn’t toss away a relationship just based on those two things, would I? Those were things that could be discussed. I could discuss those with Charles. He would understand and try to appease me.

Love.

I wrote that down quickly. I love Charles very much, don’t I? It’s not heart throbbing, sweep me off my feet love, but that can’t happen all the time and even if it were, it would surely fade over time, right? Did he do that in the beginning? No.

I thought back to the beginning of our relationship. Realizing it was actually my mom who continually pushed us together for functions at the country club. Even though my heart pounded when we first started dating, it was likely that I really wanted him to like me so that my mom would finally be happy with me.

Charles was her choice for me. While he’s a good choice for me in every sense of the word, he’s not who I would have chosen for myself.
