Boy Meets Girl.

23Oct06

Not too long ago I asked my friend Katrina, whom I met in outpatient treatment, if she knew of any guys that would be a good match for me. Actually, I did a little investigating of my own and searched her Facebook, looking to see if I found any cute guys. Of course I did. When she was online (she’s in Prague!), I asked her about a few of them. One of her friends, Marc, I thought was extrememly good looking. Normally when it comes to meeting guys and such, I am very shy and hope the guy makes the first move. Instead, I did. I sent Marc a message, and our conversations bloomed.

On Saturday he came to visit me at work. I called him in the morning on my way. His visit was spontaneous. He was telling me that he tore off the sole of his shoes that he wears to work, and how he needed to get a new pair. I hinted that I’ll be at work for awhile, that I wasn’t going anywhere and that he should come see me. When I was talking to him, I was getting my Starbucks and driving to work at the same time. A little later he sent me a text message asking if I wanted a coffee. Do you know how romantically sweet I think that is? Very. I declined a coffee. Later on when he came to visit me, I had the old 10:30a coffee in my hand. He wanted to know why I was still drinking it. I enjoy it much when he teases me. I did something on purpose. I saved my lunch time until Marc came because I wanted to spend some time with him. It was just nice. At one point he asked me how I met Katrina, and I really didn’t want to elaborate because it is private. He figured out and I was surprised that he didn’t pry into it. All he said was is that he gives someone a lot of credit for recognizing they have a problem. We talked about other things too, like our favorite movies.

Were getting together again. There was a plan to get together this afternoon for Starbucks and a movie. However, yesterday he got some bad news about one of his childhood friends. I’m not going to elaborate on that because it’s private, but he’s pretty emotionally torn about it. I gave him a call early afternoon to say hello, and hope he’s doing better today than tomorrow. He wrote a message on my Facebook wall that he won’t be around for the rest of this week. Understandable, because he and his family are an emotional mess right now. Hopefully I’ll see him next week, but until then he’s in my prayers and thoughts.
