I’ve met someone I have a genuine connection with, and the timing couldn’t be worse. It’s a frustrating combination: something I’m glad happened, arriving when I don’t know what to do with it.
The connection is the clear part. I don’t have to talk myself into being interested or convince myself that meeting this person meant something to me. What’s unclear is where that leaves us now.
I keep coming back to two possibilities. I could let it go and accept that a real connection doesn’t always arrive with an opportunity to pursue it. Or I could leave the door open, without knowing whether the timing will ever be better.
Even the phrase “leave the door open” sounds easier than the decision feels. I don’t know what I’d be leaving room for, or for how long. But letting go feels difficult when the reason is timing and the connection is still there.
I’m glad I met this person. I just wish that came with a clearer next step. Do I let this end here, or leave a little room for us to find each other at a better time?
