RedneckRomeo Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Everyone knows what a gut feeling is. It's usually something that I've gotten when I was hesistant about things. I had one thing in my mind to do, but my gut was telling me that I should re-think things and do something else about it. If we'd all listen to those gut feelings, I think we'd all be better off, and here's why: For the longest time, I've had this crush on a band singer and friend who I grew up with. So many times my gut would tell me - ok, get up and talk to her, OR ok - time to go ask her to dance, or other things like that. I hardly ever listened to my gut, as I was feeling too afraid to act upon it. The girl ended up dating a bunch of other guys - but never me. Now she's with this one guy, and they're pretty serious, so I'm out of luck. When she started seeing this guy - I got another gut feeling that I should move on, start looking around and find someone else. I refused, as I was so crazy about this girl that I didn't care and was hoping that things would go sour with their relationship, and I'd have a chance again. That chance never came around. Finally - I decide to follow my gut's advice, and started trying to move on. I tried to pay little attention to her, and go talk to more of my friends that were there this one night. And you know what? It paid off more than I could have ever hoped for. I was talking to this one girl who was hanging out with some of my friends, and its so weird because a couple days later at another of the band's shows that she drug me out on the floor for a slow dance. I invited her to ride down with me the next weekend to see the same group. We talked the whole way down, and we just got along so well it was incredible! Then we get down there, and we're hanging out all night together, just having a good time. I danced with her for a few songs, and when it was time to go home, we again talked the whole way back, and it was crazy how well things went. We both had a load of fun that night, and I was starting to like her, and could tell she started to like me too. We got together the following night, and things just went through the roof. So much fun, and met some of her crazy friends. It had been a while since I had really danced, and I got up there with her most of the night dancing, and it felt so good to dance again (reminds me of a country song). That night was even more fun that the last, and ever since, we've been calling each other daily, and I've gone out to do stuff with her four out of the last seven days, and come tomorrow, saturday AND Sunday, we'll be together again. She's been hurt a lot recently, so she says she doesn't want anything serious just yet - but we're getting so close, and get along so well, and I'm having such a wonderful time with her, that it really doesn't bother me. I haven't much experience in this area anyway - and if she wants to take it slow - she can take all the time she wants. I'm just winging it, and as long as we can keep talking and going out like we have been - I'll be a happy man. Eventually I hope she'll come to realize that I am not a guy thats going to hurt her like her last few have, and we can take it to the next level. I am really starting to like her a lot, and can't wait to get off work every day so I can go home and talk to her again. I had needed someone to be a close friend who I could talk to and have fun with for so long a time. I lost a lot of that the last few years with work, college and just other things getting in the way. I also wanted to find a girlfriend that was very special to me. By following my gut, I not only found a friend to be close with and be able to talk and have a ton of fun with, but I've found a very special girl, who even though she isn't ready for anything serious yet, means so much to me to have in my life. I was out with her tonight, I'll text message her tomorrow morning, she'll text me tomorrow afternoon, I'll call her tomorrow evening, and we'll go out tomorrow night - and I am just gonna love it like I did all this week. It's an awesome feeling of happiness and completeness to have her in my life, and I am a better person for having her in my life. Follow your gut - it will change your life - for the better.
