Reading 12-13-11

I did a reading yesterday about the future between me and a gentleman I was interested in romantically. I used the Cat's Eye Tarot which I really like. I read reversals for this spread as when I read it all upright it didn't make sense. The spread was Past-Present-Future. I like to use this spread to see if the reading is on target, because if it makes sense for the past and present, I think it will be pretty accurate for the future, at least in that point in time. Even using the reversals, I could  not decide which of the meanings it applied to, so I drew another card to clarify it.
The Past-The Lovers R-One meaning of this card is unrequited love. It goes on to say that there were communication problems and I or the gentleman didn't know how to approach the other. There was confusion and conflict due to misunderstandings. I was idealizing someone or simply the idea of a relationship.
The Present-Two of Swords R-One meaning is that the peace is broken and action is being taken. I am trying to upset the apple cart, and/or knock someone off a fence. I want to break through his complacency. Deeper truths may soon be revealed. This card shows the absurdity of thinking I could hold disturbances at bay.
The Future-Four of Wands R/Two of Cups-This card shows that I will be generally happy and things will work to my advantage, but I dread incompatibilities and the social niceties that come from reunions and social events. My own insecurities and inhibitions will surface and I am uncomfortably aware of what tarnished lives lurk below the surface. There is something lacking in my own pleasure.Rites of passage could be atypical, like an unsanctioned marriage. This guy is considerably younger than me and if we get together, I especially will suffer from jokes and put downs because of the age difference. The Two of Cups signifies a bridging and harmonizing of the split between us. I haven't seen him in a while. It can indicate a marriage or engagement or simple friendship. We will seek to transcend our differences. Together the two cards seem to be saying that there will be differences between us that will be hard to overcome, but we will succeed and join together for a higher purpose.
