You know, just it just feels good to be an environment that's like happy, and you know, who knows, who knows if it's going to be mister Tennis, But I do know that I'm on the right path to meeting that special human.

When we started, I was very guarded. I was super insecure. I was so embarrassed. I was I was embarrassed. I was humiliated. I felt like I had, like, you know, hurt someone else. I felt like I had harmed my children. Like there was just so much It's not like negativity, it's just like there was so much. There were so many feelings that were so raw and real, and I don't feel like that anymore. I don't feel like there's hurt. I feel like my kids are happy and healthy and excited about things. You know, just it just feels good to be an environment that's like happy, and you know, who knows, who knows if it's going to be mister Tennis, But I do know that I'm on the right path to meeting that special human.

You definitely are.

You definitely are.

And what I love about this is that mister Tennis is being extremely clear right Like a lot of the time I think we hear in dating stories, especially early on, it's about like playing games, or it's about like am I. We talked about this in the last episode, about like am I texting too much? Am I not texting enough? And all of that, And he is just being clear and concise with all of his communication. He is saying, I understand you're busy. I still want to see you. I understand that you have a lot going on. I'd still like to talk to you. I understand that you have maybe other suitors or men pursuing you. I'm interested in you. Like he is laying it all out there, which I think is really wonderful, and I think like this is a really great start to something special. So I think all of I speak for all of us listeners as well, that we can't wait to hear about what the next mister Tennis update is. But definitely keep us, you know, informed as to what happens. And you know, we would we can't wait to have you go on your first IRL date, Like that's going to be really exciting.

But don't you think it's strange? You know? He said to me, Sorry, didn't interrupt you, but he said to me too, he was like, normally I wouldn't do this. I wouldn't try to make a plan with you. You're you know, like to see you fly across the country and see you for a certain for you know, for an hour or you know. I wouldn't do those things if I did, if it weren't if I weren't vetted by a friend. And I was like when he said that, I was like, that's so true, because he was like, if I'd met you on RYE or something like that, I wouldn't do that. And I know a lot of people that do, like get on planes and do all that stuff, and like that's amazing, And I love that sense of adventure, but like, I'm not that kind of person, Like I'm I'm not like I would never do I would never get on a plane to meet somewhere.

We're both doing something out of your comfort zone. But I think it goes back to what we were talking about in the last episode, right, which is like we all need to get out of our comfort zone and do things that are a little bit different if we want to see different results. And on top of it, we're also turning to the core people in our lives, right for those kinds of great people. So I think a lot of us are getting stuck in this white mentality and then being frustrated by you know, those not turning out well. But when we go to our actual people in our lives who know us and also know other great people, that's where really fantastic love connections can happen. Or if it's not a love connection, maybe you're just starting twenty twenty five off really nice and having your faith and men reinstilled, because mister Tennis is being like a real gentleman and you thus far haven't had a lot of really great gentlemen in your life in recent years, you know what I mean?

It is, like, hey, you know I know someone he just just got divorced, or someone you know might be really good for you. You know, let people be the matchmaker and you know, match with people that you know, because because this world of just being out there, Yeah it's interesting because you're gonna be someone that you wouldn't know. But I think that that we're missing out on these real strong connections because people are just afraid to match make and you're not going to lose a friend. Your friend's gonna like maybe she needs to work on herself because you know, or he needs to work on hisself. It has nothing to do with you. You're just like matching and removing and whatever happens happens.
