It was towards the end of the night at my girl's birthday party and I had just finished wobbling and "backing it up" on no one in particular,when suddenly I spilled my drink on the floor. When I looked up I saw this six foot six caramel cutie looking down on me with amusement. He was standing on the bar, so he immediately ordered me another drink.I thanked him profusely, shaking my head that I even made that move in front of him. We proceeded to talk and flirt with one another, until his friend grabbed him and said it was time for them to head to the W. We exchanged numbers and him and his boy left and that was that.
He called me and texted me the next day and we agreed to go on a “date” the following week when I was free. We met at a new restaurant that was fairly close to both of our houses on the evening of the date. He was as I remembered him, but even taller. We opted to sit on the couches in the restaurant so he could have some leg room instead of at the regular table and just talked and laughed. I could tell he was kind of the shy, quiet type, however, my gregarious personality had him opening up to me by the end of the night. He asked when my last relationship was so I told him, and then of course I asked him when his last one was. He then proceeded to PULL OUT HIS PHONE AND LOOK IN THE CALENDAR. “Umm what are you doing?” I ask. He’s like,” I’m trying to figure out when I broke up with my ex.” At this point I’m like what in the world??? So homeboy scrolls through the month of August and stops at August 14th which was only two weeks ago and goes, "Oh it ended that weekend!" I’m like, "Umm really so you’ve been single for two weeks?" He responds with,"Yea I guess you could say that." At this point I’m just laughing to myself like how corny is this man to pull out a calendar for 1. And for 2. It was just two weeks ago,you could’ve just said that!! SMH! Me and my big mouth proceed to ask him how long he was in the relationship for, and he said do you really want to know, and I’m like yea just tell me ( I hate when people ask me this) thinking he’s about to say ten years or something. "A Month," he says. “A MONTH! What?” I ask? Okay PAUSE! You mean to tell me you were with this girl for a “month” and classify it as a relationship and then you are telling me this!?? I quickly gulp down my drink and am thinking LORD what is this man about???
He then proceeds to tell me he has never been in a relationship for over four months. Wait. Stop the presses again! He said his last “girlfriend” asked him out and he said yes even though he didn’t really want to, and the young lady prior to her revealed she had bi-polar and ADHD so he headed for the hills! I burst out lauhging so hard tears were rolling down my cheeks.I know he has a young child so I ask how long he was with her mother, he said about four months or so, and she found out she was pregnant two weeks after they broke up. WHOA!! This is all something out of a comedy show at this point- The episode where they tell you what NOT to reveal on a first date! He then proceeds to ask me what I am looking for relationship wise and I quickly respond back with “NOTHING”!!
What kind of fool would I be to take a thirty year old man seriously who has never been in a serious relationship?? The crazy part is he was so nice and such a gentlemen and I am all for working with a “brotha” but I’m not about to be the next month long driveby girlfriend!
I guess I’ll just be the one that got away!
