Slower Is Better

Got me some extra lovin' from Doc Eddie this afternoon when I picked him up from UST and handed him his surprise. Seeing him again after two Eddie-less weeks made me remember why I was dating a Med student in the first place. It's difficult, to be honest. And as a matter of fact, I was almost at my wit's end when he cancelled last Sunday, but I'm determined to make things work.

"Slower is better," Oprah said. I was never a fan -- although I do admire her work -- but the truth in the statement is undeniable, especially when it comes to men and dating. I've been in enough pseudo-relationships where either me or the other person jumped into the fire too quickly, thoughtlessly, that one or both of us unavoidably got burned. I'm a slow learner, so I'm glad this time I'm gradually getting a rein on my emotions.
