you're thinking way too hard about this.

I don't put stipulations on anybody. Why? Enjoy the moment and let life take you wherever it goes. I live it like I'm in a big movie and don't know where the scriipt is taking me when it comes to people. I can plan, I can suggest, but all anyone really knows about future meetings is that there is somebody right around the corner about to run into you. He or she is there, it's gonna happen. YOu can't really change it. What you do with chance encounters is how your life will either be successful...or a bore.

I met my wife in a college weight room when I wasn't even in the mood to meet anybody. I had benchpresses on my mind. Here this hot blonde comes prancing into the area, the machine I'm working on and we start up conversation. I repeat...I WASN'T LOOKING FOR ANYTHING! But I never turn down chance encounters and let life happen like it will. That's the difference between you and me.

If she had kids and was 10 years older, would it have mattered? Yeah...but I probably would've kept seeing her and chances are great that we'd still be married. I mean, you will surprise yourself at just how adaptable to situations and events you will become when the people around you become important to you.

You aren't into kids now, trust me, you will be. And you'll talk about kids this and kids that far sooner than you've ever predicted. That doesn't mean that you can't have a good time, like you obviosuly want. You must let life and it's players take you along and don't be so damned stubborn. Mark my words, in 5 years time you'll be running Johnnie to a soccer practice and being in charge of your kid's kindergarten birthday party. You wait...it's coming.
