date a nice guy.

I’ve dated (and still am dating) the most amazing, kind, wonderful guy.

I swear he’s been sent from heaven.

So, I’ve been rethinking this. Why would I want a guy? The truth is my life is not in a place to allow for one. I am frightfully busy reorganizing life at work…I want girlfriends more than a date, and that takes time when you are a single mother….I’m just now figuring out some of the things that make me happy.

I need to make me happy LONG before I meet a guy. I’m ditching this goal. The time will come for this, but it’s not now.

So I met this guy online, who goes to my church. He seemed nice enough, and I gave him my phone #. He called me 4 times in 2 days.

Now I’m a single mom, and I don’t have a lot of time to sit and chat. He called while I was running to teach, and while I was putting kids to bed. When I did talk to him, he was eating, smacking loudly in my ear.

Then the hurricane happened. I had told him I would call him back that day, but I couldn’t—I was looking for my family, because I’ve got loved ones there. It was a nightmare—no word for a week.

With my energy devoted to that, it was about a week before I called him back. He was livid, convinced that I had seen him at church and decided he didn’t measure up. Interestingly, he did see me at church, although I didn’t see him. He concluded that he is too emotionally fragile for a relationship now. I would certainly agree, but he really was saying to himself I was rude.

Shish.

I think I’d rather stay home with my cats! No more guys!
