The other night I was chatting with a friend of mine about dating and compromise and knitting and golf. We had perhaps ingested a couple beers before this conversation commenced, and we were making parallels all over the place that probably had no relationship with straight lines. After some discussion about balance (knit, purl, swing), he asked me a probing question. Was I really willing to compromise for a new relationship, or if someone didn't immediately seem right would I just write him off? If you knew me very well, it would be obvious that this was a perfectly fair question.
My answer? I am willing to make room for someone in my life if he is equally as willing to make room for me in his already full existence. That sounds like compromise to me.
Also, I discovered that knitting and golf have a lot in common. If you've ingested a couple of beers.
