So after the whole incident with the guy from my High School I pretty much decided that I was probably doomed in the relationship department. I figured that if I didn't make an effort to meet new people that they weren't just going to come and seek me out. A few months earlier I had gone on one random date with a guy that I had met on Myspace. He had sought me out and told me about his 3 children and his hard breakup of his 8 year marriage and I felt like we had a lot in common. That was until the date. We'll call Mr. Myspace Mark. Mark and I meet for coffee at a local Starbucks. He was attractive and tall and funny, but he wasn't a Christian and I definitely am. So at the end of the date we said goodnight and went on our way. We talked the next day by phone and he did ask for another date, but I said I don't know what the point would be this could never work out because we live our lives to different ways. That pretty much shut him down. WELL after the guy from High School lost total interest I decided to give Mark a second chance. We went out to dinner and then breakfast and some where in there he introduced me to his children. To me being introduced to someone's kids was a big deal. I even mentioned to him that I thought that it was too soon and that I thought that should be reserved for a serious relationship. But Mark represented himself as someone who was heartbroken about the end of his marriage. A single Dad doing it all by himself. Someone who was just getting back into the dating scene. So I let it slide and tried my best to go with the flow. So after a few weeks of seeing each other Mark stops answering his phone. We had made plans to see each other and then he just never showed up and never called. The next day he did return me call with an excuse that he was playing poker with friends and that he thought our plans were just tentative.

Mr. Cute High School classmate
So you think that after two disappointing "adventures into the dating world" I might cool my jets. However I really require a lot of communication and attention and no matter how doting my children or best friend were I was still trying to meet Mr. Right or as it seems MR. Right then. I had been on Myspace for maybe 2 months when I received an email from a guy who had been in my class in High School. He was cute and really in shape and shared my faith. We exchanged phone numbers and started chatting. We'll call him Neal for the purposes of our story. Neal told me how he had dated someone with children before and how he wanted to get married someday and BONUS he lived only 15 minutes away. So I guess I thought that it was safe to assume that there was potential there. I went over to his house one of my child free nights and I made dinner and we watched a movie. He kissed me and said that he really liked me. Funny thing is later when I suggested that we get together a week or so later he agreed and then pretty much ignored me. I guess I decided that I wasn't going to chase on this one. And decided that I was better off not wasting my time.
