I'm back! And believe it or not, I've been a busy lady.
Christmas came and went uneventfully. Did some soul searching -- a scary prospect for me. But I did it. The day after Christmas, Mailbox Hottie cornered me in the mailbox area. Wanted to know why I wouldn't go out with him.
Huh?
Yeah, I've turned down dates in the past, but I've never actually had somebody come back and ask why.
Of course, I told him the truth. Bad divorce, celibacy, yadda yadda yadda. We talked for a while, then he asked me out again. This time, he promised no strings. Friendship only.
Yeah, I thought it was a line, too. But he argued with me when I turned him down and I ended up going. And I'm so glad I did.
It turns out, he's a really nice guy. I did read him right, he's a bit of a player. Well, not just a bit. He's a honkin' huge player. But once I made it clear (at least, I thought it was clear) he had absolutely no chance, we had a nice conversation over dinner.
After dinner, he invited me -- as friends! -- to a New Year's Eve party he was planning to go to.
But that's a story for my next entry. And what a story it is!
