Are There Men in Chicago?

The weekend of NYE I met up with an old friend from high school who was in town visiting family. I was so in love with him in high school, but we were good friends so I never let him know how I felt. He moved to Florida  after graduation so I hadn't seen him in about 9-10 years. When I saw him this past weekend all my old feelings came back. He was still extremely sexy and his personality (which is what I loved most about him) was still the same....amazing!

He made it clear he was attracted to me and that he even had a thing for me in high school too (go figure right..neither of us said anything). We hung out the Saturday night before NYE as well as spent NYE together. We had so much fun reminiscing and talking about what we had been up to.  We have so much in common. We ended up spending the night together a couple times, and although some would think I broke my own first date rules, I would disagree. I have been friends with him since I was 14....and not just the kind that says hi and bye in the hall-way. We would hang out after school and occasionally flirt. So although we never had a real date....we were far from strangers.

The only real thing that is getting in the way of us possibly being together is the fact that I live in Chicago and he lives in FL.  I know he will never move back to Chicago...I mean who would want to leave beautiful weather year round?  I've always wanted to move somewhere warm because winters in Chicago are the worst...maybe this is my time! We did talk about me visiting him in FL in the future so hopefully that will work out...fingers crossed.

What bothers me the most though is the fact that I can't I find a man in Chicago? If you read my earlier post you would remember that I caught feelings for a friend I met 3 years ago....but he now lives in L.A.  Although that guy is not going to work out, I feel like this is a sign that I need to move to find my soul mate. I haven't seriously dated anyone since college and I haven't met anyone that I am really into that I can see myself with. I'm starting to think there are no Chicago men for me.

I guess only time will tell what the future holds for me. I do know that my friend from FL has the qualities I want in a man so if he is not the one for me.....I need to find someone like him.
