Am I The Man? Part 2
Now only a few short days ago I mentioned that I was fairly confident that my path will cross again with my friends relative, Mrs. X, well it already.. for the last two days in fact. It is not as great as it seems because we meet up again due to the death of my friends father and besides all family stuff that happens during these situations I was really sad about the loss so no matter how happy I was to see her I know there is a time and a place for my emotions and it was not these last two particular days.
All in all I did my best as a friend to look out for my homeboy but I was wrenched apart inside. I have been totally taken off my guard by Mrs. X and did all I could to fight back my own feelings. I did however take a good amount of time to chat with her... lets face it I'm not going to ask her out in a situation like that but I was not about to let her forget about me either. What I did was keep it cool and try to keep the flow going, look I'll worry about getting a number next time. In a way I feel guilty even talking to her because again I was doing it to secure something for the future but my buddy even assured my that it was cool because I was in fact only talking. I always worry too much about things like this because I am not a sleezeball picking some chick up at a wake and I don't want to be seen as one.
Anyway, all still seemed to go well and I even made a HUGE splash with her parents. With all the modesty in the world I can honestly say that the parents definately dug me (and who would'nt). All I did again was be myself and I guess I should give myself more credit because the "no preservatives added" me seems to charm people. Now that the parent hurdle has been lept over all I have to do is make sure that Mrs. X likes me half as much as her family does and then I will be golden.
Bottom line is that we are all gonna try and get together next Friday (tenatively) and I gotta say in all sincerity that this will be the longest week of my life ever. I have become so smitten that I feel as nervous as a schoolboy again...at 30. Now I can't say for sure that I will win her affections but at least I accidentally won a huge cheering squad that as you read this is probably singing a chorus in praise of yours truly, and that is never a bad thing.
Like I said before, this story will be continued again and I can only hope that the real me is good enough for her because she is so perfect that I feel like I should not get her on principle alone. Either way I will really give it my best and in the end hope this is meant to be and if it does work out for me My Own Little World will not only get a little bigger but a bit more complete as well.
More to come.......

Can't wait to hear the next chapter here mang!
Hope you have a great Easter holiday and hope to catch up with ya online soon.
Good on you! Just keep being yourself and you'll do fine. Obviously she digs you in some way or she wouldn't keep talking to you. I know what you mean about long weeks. The week before the first date with my wife dragged like no other. Enjoy the build up though, it's a good part too.
Hey just like Binkster said, enjoy the build up. I think you are on to something potentially very special. Enjoy the ride and let the charm flow!
Go for it, once you two are an item tell her you arranged for a night in A.C. with some friends from Philly. Me and the lady will take care of the comps for you while you take care of your libido. And we can do dinner together.
I'm excited for you!! And just so you know funerals and weddings are very popular places to meet a future significant other. Haven't you seen Wedding Crashers :) ?
