A Date With Destiny

I was talking to a family friend together with my mother and my sister-in-law. This lady friend is still single and very much available. She is an attractive lady and a very interesting person too.

She suddenly pops The Question, "How did you know that your husband is the right person for you?" "Would you know right away if you are destined to marry the person who dated with?" We gave her the same affirmative answer but in three different perspectives.

My mother answered her that yes you would know if the person is the right one for you. But knowing it takes time and a lot of hard work for both man and woman. Naturally, it is attraction that leads a person towards another. If the attraction lasts long enough for one to be interested in the other one must take time to get to know each other. Then one must decide if he or she is the right one. If not, it wouldn't hurt to just keep the relationship on a friendly level and move on to find the right person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

My sister-in law said yes somehow she had an intuition that my brother is the one for her but she did not took this feeling as the basis for marrying him right away. Like my mother, she too took the time to prove if her intuition is correct. She took the time to really get to know the person she is going to marry someday.

In my case, when I first saw my husband I knew right away that he is the one for me. Unlike them I never bothered to take the time out to get to know him or even took the initiative to at least socialize. I just let fate take its course and fate did took upon its hand to have both our path meet. I am just glad fate did not gave up on me. There were a lot of instances that my husband and I could hit it off right away but I just somehow missed that opportunity. I always thought that if its meant to be its meant to be.

Instances like, we bump into each other in the movie theater. But shy as I am I just said "hey there" and went on to find my seat and not giving him a chance to utter another word. We go to the same fitness center to workout and even have the same schedule! Coincidence? maybe. We even go to the same ice cream parlor on Fridays, except that I didn't notice he goes there too. He later told me after we got married that he always saw me at the ice cream shop but he didn't bother saying hello since I seemed to ignore him whenever he did so. Fate gave us a lot of opportunities for about 4 years until one night Fate came into the form of a friend that my husband and I have in common. He was the one who literally pulled both of us together to hang out. I guess Fate has grown tired of me not taking the courage to meet the man of my dreams. The rest was history. I married the man of my dreams and we are blessed with a wonderful son.
