When I was a little girl my fantasy of falling in love and dating was easy and beautiful. However as a young adult I don’t know if my Knight wearing a shining Jewish star is going to whisk me off my feet and it will be love at first sight. I do have recent dating experiences to report on but I did some research this week on successful couples and their stories. Their stories made me think about life expectations and paths.
My friend’s cousin, Rachel, met her husband online. A common story now a days but her tale is a bit different as their paths had to cross a second time before they formed a relationship. After a couple dates with her now husband, Matthew, Rachel decided that she was just not that into him. Rachel and Matthew went their separate ways for six months and then randomly bumped into him in the North End one day. They agreed to meet up which was the beginning of their romance. Matthew and Rachel got married a year ago and are very happy.
My favorite story, which as a young girl we all dream of, is the story of my friend Shira. Shira and Yoni were set up by friends. Shira was sitting at the bar when Yoni walked in and at that moment Shira saw her life with him flash before her eyes. Shira and Yoni talked for hours staring into each others eyes, laughing and talking. They both knew at that moment that they were destined to be together. Shira and Yoni have been married for five years and have two children.
There are times I want a fortune teller to predict who, when and where I’m going to meet my beshert. The little girl in me wants the fairy tale, but the realist in me understands the complications of dating. I believe that people come into your life at certain points for a reason. Six months before, Rachel and Matthew were not ready for a relationship but because there is a bigger picture that we are unaware of, their paths crossed again and fate guided them together.
