2013 In The Rear View Mirror

It is time to leave 2013 in the rear view mirror. To quote Charles Dickens "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." I re-entered the dating world with a vengeance in 2013. I had dated before that but it was few and far between. This past year I dated quite a bit, some good and some bad. I had pieces of my heart broken off and shoved up my ass but I also dated a few nice women that just didn't work out, some by my choice but mostly by theirs. 2013 was more about the learning curve. I learned a lot about myself this past year, some things I liked and some things I did not like. The things I found I liked about myself I want to refine and accentuate, the things I did not like I want to change and make them a positive. While I was off for five weeks, I did a lot of reaching out to women I had dated this past year (and beyond) to try and make sure we could at least still be friends. Some of the women I realize do not want to have anything else to do with me and for that I am sorry but I wanted to make my peace with them and issue any apologies necessary. It is not that I necessarily want a second chance but it is important for me to extend the proverbial olive branch. They all brought something different and positive to the table and I do want to keep those positives available to me and with me because at one point and time, I was worthy of their attention.
