What if Man

I think in every woman's life she comes across a "what if man". This man is in no way related to "mister right" or "the love of her life". The "what if man" is the person that her mind occasionally drifts to when she finds her day has become idle or something triggers a memory and she think to herself what if......

I have talked to several friends and relatives and asked them if they have a "what if man" and many do. It is that one person that might have developed into something "if only ....". Here are some examples of "if only's": he lived closer, Mr. Right hadn't come along, timing had been different, she hadn't been dating Mr. X, he hadn't been going through XYZ, etc...

In talking to friends it is also very clear that although they might occasionally think of their "what if man" they would not go back and give it another try.

You see when it comes down to it, when you truly weigh your options, trading "mister right" for "what if man" is a silly thought to entertain.

I personally believe life pushes us in certain directions for a reason. All of those "what if men" are put in our lives so we will be ready and open to our "mister rights". I am very happy with my "mister right" and looking back I wouldn't change a thing. My "what if man" helped me get where I am today and I couldn't be happier.

Let me know what you think, take my poll on the left side of the page.
