It's a little bit funny...

Something strange is going on.

My best friend in the whole world, Matilda, has been playing matchmaker.  Matti got married this past April and last December I made the trek out to Arizona to meet her then-boyfriend, soon-to-be fiance, now-husband.  No one was gonna marry her without getting the stamp of approval from me.  While I was out there I went on a date with one of her friends, it was fun, but nothing came of it.  After all, I was still hopeful for Tyson and him coming home in January.  It was weird, though, Matilda has this friend named Wade who has some resemblance to Tyson.  She had him come over and hang out with us for an evening just so I could be shocked and amazed.  Resemblance ended up only being the same face shape, but Wade was funny and enjoyable to be around for the night.  

Long story short, Matilda got me and Wade talking this week.  She set us up through facebook and then she gave him my phone number and we've been texting.  Last night he even got up the nerve to call me.  It's been a whirlwind of six days and my head is spinning.  I hardly know this guy, we haven't been talking nonstop, but a fairly good amount.  Something about this is just making me lose my mind.

I feel as though this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I need to seize it before it leaves.  There's something inside me that keeps saying, "Don't let this one slip away, he could be the real deal."

That scares me.
