Whenever I’m in a new relationship, I like to check out our astrological compatibility just to see what it says. Now, there’s only one sign in the zodiac that I’ve avoided because I now how incompatible we can be. Taurus. So of course, what we resist, persists.  6′4″ is a Taurus. Here’s the scoop:

Even though there’s a hard square here, creating a giant red flag, the many Leo-Taurus couples prove that some prefer the path of most resistance. When first dating, Leo enjoys being the prize possession of the Bull, who shows love with trinkets and advice. Both are uninhibited pleasure-seekers, making sex the glue, and the catharsis for relationship frustrations. High-spirited Leo helps Taurus cast off its cloak of reserve, and indulge in the moment. Taurus prods Leo to put their wildest dreams into tangible reality.

Further into the relationship, they’ll discover that what doesn’t kill their bond, makes it stronger. Here you have two notoriously stubborn types, and there are showdowns throughout this relationship. Tensions flare with Leo gets haughty and Taurus pretends not to care. When Leo feels consistently dissed, like their needs don’t matter, it can become a fundamental problem. Taurus finds Leo demanding, and taxing on their mellow nature. Here’s a couple that may argue all the time, but still end up side-by-side in rockers on the porch. It doesn’t always work, but friction can be a refining force in relationships, too. It’s love with an edge, and that keeps them wedged in for life.

Well, I can’t really argue with any of that!  We do argue all the time – not seriously, but we argue.  Interesting since in my last major relationship, we NEVER argued…maybe he argued with his other girlfriend.  Who knows.  Anyway, I think knowing how to argue is an important part of a relationship…we’ve got that. 

And he is pushing me to attain all of my wildest dreams…it’s weird, but he’s already made some observations that opened my eyes.  He is bizarre and he gets on my nerves sometimes, but somehow, I feel myself falling for him very quickly.  I’m hoping the net that catches me looks like a hammock on the beach…and that he’s right by my side…with all of his stubbornness and inflexibility right there with us.

My family is amazing. For the most part, we all get along, we all have a great time together and I appreciate their love and support. In my dating life, my family has met quite a few of the men I’ve been with. They’re honest, yet supportive – and of course, love to tease me asking “WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?” after it’s over. Love you guys for that!

So, with 6′4″ new guy (6′4″ for short), we’ve been together two weeks. And I just found out that my family has scheduled a get together on the 28th. Now, 6′4″ usually (ha – after two weeks, we already have a usually?) has his daughter on Saturdays, and maybe Friday nights. But the 28th is a Sunday. I’ve spent the last 3 Sundays with him, so in theory, he’d be available to attend the family dinner. And in theory, if he wants to see me, he’d have to go to the family dinner. Hmm.

Because my family is so welcoming, I would feel comfortable letting them meet him, but is HE ready for that? I tend not to waste any time in rthe beginning of elationships and I think it’s because I’m a pretty good judge of whether I could be a with a guy when I first meet him. (Of course ending a relationships take a tad bit longer for me.) And after the feeling that I could be with a guy, I seem to just let nature take its course and go from there. 6′4″ has already mentioned marriage and kids – and we even talked about him meeting my dad which is a big deal since my dad has only met one person I’ve dated. So is it THAT big of a deal for him to meet my family?

I’ll ask him next weekend, but it could be time for him to meet my peeps. Yowza!
