This experiment ended with no fanfare but plenty of lessons learned and a definite connection. We never did go on the last date we intended to close our interaction with, it's still a floating IOU. By the project's end, there wasn't a love connection.......well not the kind you guys were probably expecting. But there was a connection. Almost a year later, Isaac and I still talk on a regular basis. We even still intend to have that last date. We continue to follow each other on Twitter (where we met). When tweeting our feelings, sometimes the other is the only one to get it and for that time, our souls connect. We are similar in more ways than we are different but our paths, our love paths have not become one. We do have a special love for each other and I truly value the person I've become to know.
True enough, this Boyfriend Experiment was about more than just Isaac. It was supposed to be about me concentrating on a different 'boyfriend' each month. I skipped March because I had a lot of travel planned and knew I wouldn't have the time to invest in the person for that month. Come April, I decided to downsize my life by getting rid of my house, moving back to Birmingham, AL from the outskirts (30 minutes from downtown), etc... That took a lot of time, that again would have lacked for a 'boyfriend'. Then there was May. In May, my role as Mother took front and center. I had to use a lot of elbow grease & focus to ensure that my middle son graduated. Having moved back to the city before school ended, I had to drive 30 minutes to their schools and 30 minutes back for work in the mornings then do it all over again in the afternoons to pick them up and bring them home. Definitely no time for a 'boyfriend'. By June, I'd given up on the idea of finding a suitable candidate to continue my project. Life just kinda moved out of that direction and some of that was a mysterious man from my past that became a renewed focus. To keep the anonymity going...... we'll only refer to the mystery man as "Him".
