Sometimes men were ready to move into a relationship and I wasn't. Sometimes I was ready and they weren't.
Be either way, if a man felt like it wasn't his time to do something (get married, have sex, meet the family) then it wasn't happening.
This was a real wake up call because I thought I could persuade, influence, convince and massage a man into doing something. But it ended up only turning into a mess because he just simply was not ready.
