We Didn't Meet On Line....

If you have been following my crazy life you know I was doing the online thing but had decided to give it up.  I'll tell you I met some very nice guys...but I met some very "interesting" people as well.  Oh I have stories. Once I met three different guys in one day.  hahahaha.  Just for coffee or dinner.  It was fun.  I kept my sister and her friends entertained for the day since I used her as my check in person.  One guy rode his bicycle to a date....and he tipped $3 on a $47 check.  He also admitted he had been to prison before.  Yikes.  I did meet a few really nice guys.  It just wasn't there.  At one point I told my friend that if Online Dating has been popular before I would have never gotten married.  LOL.  Wrong.  I went out with one guy.  I was not interested in him but he kept bugging me.  I tried to like him.  One day I was telling him I went to this new church.  He said, "Good, maybe you can get right!"  Really?  Anyways....if you read my last blog post I said I was giving up with the whole online thing.  It was safe for me because I never had to get serious or even think about my feelings...because I didn't have to.  I had decided I really  needed to just work on myself.  Instead of praying for God to send me someone....I just started praying he'd fix me.

Less than a week after that blog post this happened....

I was at court.  Everyone knows I enjoy court.  It isn't the same here as it was in Summit County but I do love a good court day here too... So I was at court.  It was a busy day.  I had a big case that day and I was not able to sit still.  Ha.  So I was outside the courtroom but just peeking in to see if Judge Cotton was ready for CPS cases.  And that is when I ran into Chris.  I really almost literally ran into him.  Ha.  Well I've known Chris for a very long time.  Since we were kids.  And of course...I have a funny story.  Chris lived near my Grandmother.  When Chris was a kid he had a crush on me.  He tells me he used to hang out with my cousins to find out when I was coming to TN.  Well one time I was walking down my Grandma Wright's road and Chris was following me.  I swear he whistled at me.  He claims he can't whistle.  Ha.  I know he was trying to get my attention.  So I did what any 11ish year old girl should do....I picked up a rock and threw it at him.  I have pretty good aim.  I hit his elbow.  He has a dent in his elbow and he says it is from that rock.  I think he is just teasing me.  But I know it did hurt because he cried....(sorry to out you Chris).  I had seen him a bunch of times since I moved here but there was NO WAY I was going to talk to him. haha.  That is until I almost ran into him at court.  I had to talk to him and I did.  We had a two minute conversation.  Later he sent me a FB friend request.  I accepted it but sent him this long message about how I am not ready to date and how we can only be friends.  Well that didn't work out the way I planned. And I will admit I am glad.  Chris is a great guy and I can't wait for everyone to meet him.  He is the sweetest guy.  And we have a lot in common....it is kinda weird.  He has a degree in Psych. and worked in Youth Services.  Right now he is a corrections officer at the prison.  He has custody of his children.  He's a Christian.  And he lives in the same town as me.  There are only about 2400 people that live in Robbins.  He only lives like 5 miles from me.  I love it.  I am very happy.  That is all I have to say about that right now.
