Blog ETA=NOW!!

For those of you unfamiliar with airline terminology....ETA=Estimated Time of Arrival.

Ladies & Gentlemen....Welcome Aboard!
I am a flight attendant in my mid 20's, still single and dating....my friends think all of this is glamourous (no its not) and fascinating (yes!) and suggested I write a blog...so here we are!  In my free time, I write, Facebook, paint, design, shop and travel, and contemplate the meaning of life.  I am a Christian and while I am not perfect, I try my best to live my life for God.

Once we reach a safe & comfortable cruising altitude.....
To catch you up.....I have been dating a pilot (cliche- i know) for about 2 months now.  He lives on the opposite side of the country, has a delusional ex girlfriend who thinks that he wants to get back together, and has been seeing another flight attendant while seeing me.  I found out about her a month into things and made an oops that might have caused his already questionably crazy ex just a little bit crazy (aka- a huge headache for him) but got him to be honest about his fling with the other flight attendant.  He told me he saw more potential in a relationship with me and that he didn't want just a fling from me, but it was complicated with the other girl. What kind of girl would I be if I was okay with this situation?  I play well with others, but I was absent for the lesson on sharing.  I care about him and like him a ton, but it was an emotional rollercoaster thus far.  I decided to walk away from it all until he figured out what he wanted.  A few days after I told him I couldn't handle him being with another girl while with me- he decided that he would no longer see the other girl and he shouldn't have been having that kind of relationship with the other girl anyways.


Sit back. Relax. Enjoy the Flight.
Sooo now we are trying to work out our schedules to see each other, and his parents want to meet me.  I of course want to take things slow- considering all we have been through in these last 2 months.  I should be way more excited to have him all to myself, but I know that we have to move slowly to regain each others' trust. Meeting the parents....is that weird or normal?  I guess he talked me up enough to them so its kinda cute.

Talk about logistical nightmare trying to match up our schedules.  Next month we better communicate the bidding better.  Its too soon really to ask him to switch his base to mine or to switch mine to his, but when the time is right, its possible that we might discuss the option. It would certainly make seeing each other less impossible, but its a challenge that we get to figure out and overcome together. It seems like a true test of our intentions in the relationship and what lengths we are willing to go to in order to see each other and to make it work.

Now to get the looney ex out of the picture....

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I appreciate you taking the time to read it!  Have a great day reading blogs-or wherever your internet travels may take you!
