If you're not the one...

Yes. I did it. Daniel Bedingfield. I will not apologise.

Have you ever found a person you were so sure was the mythical "one"? I have. Many, MANY times. In fact, there is usually one person in my immediate presence (I use this term loosely as I am referring to ease with which we communicate these days) who, whilst talking or texting or emailing, I am thinking of completely. I have a few people in my life who fit this bill and gain an all encompassing focus from me. I am going to attempt to discover why this happens.

I think I am a fairly good reader of people, I also have a great many things that I look for in a person in order for me to like and trust them. I think I got this from the attitudes of my family members. We have an inherent want to protect each other and automatically weigh up new people as they come into our group (probably the reason we have such wonderful in-laws). So, I know when I meet someone that I will like them. Simple...right? Not really. I find that I become attached to people very easily and I seem to have surrounded myself with a very reliable group of friends. It is wonderful.

It does however have a huge drawback if you put it into the context of my title. I have a few very close female friends whom I have come to think I would like to be with. The problem is this: we're so close, they don't want to wreck our relationship. That, or they don't look at me like that, I'm the one they can always talk to.

So, "if you're not the one..." who is? Perhaps it is time for me to change my ways...either that or wait.
