Relationships
All of my stories on this blog are true and quite often there is humor in them. This one doesn’t have a happy ending, nor is it funny but it’s real. It was my first experience with dating after divorce. I met him at a party; we talked, he was nice and good looking, but I didn’t give it any thought beyond that. My entire life I was conditioned to believe no one would look at me twice. He changed all of that.
During that party he approached me, kissed me and told me how hot I was. I stood there like an idiot saying nothing figuring he was drunk. Then he looked at me and said: “you don’t know how hot you are, do you?” I again said nothing because that answer was no. I didn’t then, and I still don’t now.
Thankfully my brain started working and I kissed him back and kept kissing him throughout the night. We saw each other for months after that party; but it wasn’t the best relationship. However, he showed me everything I was missing. What it was like to laugh with someone, talk for hours, and he gave me the love and affection I needed.
When people ask me “why do you keep dating?” or “why put yourself through that?” He’s the reason; I know there is someone out there who will treat me well and will love me with all of their heart.
He’s been gone 3 years now, but I think about him a lot. I will be forever grateful to him for giving me love and affection exactly when I needed it. Ladies, hang in there because I believe there is a prince out there for all of us.
