Maybe He Did Want To Hang Out With Me....

Tweet

I had started a couple discussions a couple weeks ago about a guy that some women wanted to fix me up with. I had mentioned about how I had invited him to go to a softball game with me and he turned me down, so I didn't have plans of asking him to do anything else. Well, my mother came up for a visit this weekend and she went to visit her friend (who is wanting us to hook up) and she said that she talked to this guy for awhile and he told her that he had wished that he had went with me that night. My mom told me about the conversation and told me that maybe I should ask him to do something else again. So, there was a fair in town that I was going to be taking my children to and I told her that I would ask him to go to it but I didn't want to sound desperate or anything. She said, that yeah, she thought maybe it would sound desperate. So, she called to check on her friend and she just out of the blue asked him if he wanted to come (as if she was inviting him). He said, "Yes," then she hung up and said, "He said for you to call him and let him know what time you are going to pick him up"(he doesn't drive). I just said, "Oh, okay". So, I picked him up and we talked all the way to the fair, then talked the whole time at the fair. He really seemed to have a good time, at least I hope he did. My mom took the kids home that night so I could spend some alone time with him and we walked around the fairgrounds and talked, then we left to take him home. On the way home he said that he wanted to go to a movie with me sometime and asked me for my phone number(as he didn't really have it, the ill lady he lives with does) so he had a pen and paper and wrote it down. Then we got to his house and he wanted me to go in and visit with him and this lady. I told him that it was late and I didn't want to wake her and he said, "Oh, no, she stays up late. We were up until 3 am talking last night". So, I went in for about half an hour, it was a nice visit. When I was leaving, he walked me to the door and thanked me for inviting him and said he had a good time. He also added that we would "definitely" have to go to a movie sometime so I told him to just give me a call and we would. I really think it went well. We seemed to really click. I'm not getting my hopes up about anything "romantic" but it would be nice to have a friend to hang out with and have fun. I'm really hoping that he does want to do something sometime. My mother had these words of encouragement for me last night, "Who cares if anything romantic happens between you two. He seems nice and he is definitely nice to look at. So if you are just friends then that is nice too". I told her that I totally agreed with her. Now I have some things that my mother left for her friend and I am supposed to take them by there tomorrow after work, so I am really hoping things go well... So, that's the update for any of you who may have been wondering...wish me luck!
