Tasty Dish

I just realized something tonight. I have dated a guy and my first encounter with him was at a grocery store. As icing on the cake, two people I have recently got back into contact with both currently work in grocery stores.
It made me wonder if going to a grocery store is like dating. (Not just because you can use cheesy pick up lines like "nice melons" in the produce section.) Rather, a grocery store sells all kinds of food- meat, cheese, vegetables, fruit, popcorn, potato chips, ect.
Just like while you're single you will meet all kinds of people. Some you will like and some you won’t. Some will try to force you in their cart. Others may not want you in theirs. Last but not least, there will always be that one you can’t quite put your finger on. But of course it’s up to you who you want to take to the checkout stand.
It made me wonder if I'm really one to say who to take to the checkout stand.
I have just been told to enjoy the company of the opposite sex but be picky and to really listen to one another. Then the rest is gravy. I think that is so true.
My friend Matt describes break ups as "losing the game." After all if you break up with someone, it's because the relationship didn't work out for one reason or another. I used to think of it as a failure too. But no matter how good or bad a bad a relationship was, we all have to remember, some relationships are meant to last longer than others. All you can do is enjoy each relationship for what they are and learn something new from each experience. I think as long as you remember that, you will find the tasty dish you will want to keep coming back for.
