Timing

I contacted a friend of mine from 2 jobs ago. He used to like me. He came on a little strong and I got a little scared at the time and didn't want to get involved with him, but we have remained friends and went out to dinner from time to time and stay in touch through email. Lately, I have been thinking that I was kind of stupid to not at least try to have a relationship with him. He's a great guy, we share a lot of interests, etc. I really admire him because he's a musician and a humble one at that. He can play many instruments. I did a Google search on him once and found that he had even recorded some records when younger.

Anyway, I contacted him and he told me he has been seeing someone for about a year now. It figures. I am happy for him. I can't expect people to live up to my time table. While I am off thinking about what to do, life is happening to other people.

He says that maybe everything worked out the way it was supposed to. Yeah, it's easy to say that when you have someone in your life! It's not so easy to say when you're alone and approaching 40 (very quickly too). Timing seems to be everything and if you're not in synch with the other, it won't work no matter what you do. You have to both be at the same place.
