A few days ago I had one of those, and it got me thinking ... There are moments when we feel awkward in love. That moment lasts a fraction of a second, but feels like a frustrating eon when you are waiting for the universe to give you a sign. Sometimes the universe reveals to you that it went well, but sometimes it doesn't. That's when you wish life had a pause and rewind button when you can go back in time and do things differently. The awkward moment when you think you said something "cool", but wonder what she is thinking. The agony of waiting to see whether she'll text back or what she will say after texting her. The first time you slowly reach to hold her hand. The moment when you lean in for the first kiss. The excruciating wait, for a phone call, the day after you meet her friends or family...
...I might be rationalizing, but I believe it is a good sign. I think the more we love and care about a person the more awkward we tend to be with them. It's not despite the awkwardness, but because of the awkwardness we cherish and remember those moments. I adore that shyness and nervousness when I see it and I take it as a sign of genuine love. So the next time you have an "awkward"moment or think you noticed it in someone you love, appreciate and celebrate it!
