Speaking of, “These types of things always happen to me.”  Did I ever tell you about my second date ever?  Happened Summer of 2004.  First of all he seemingly has no problem with the added weight.  A quite good looking young man who is a law student.  *fanning self*  Oh yeah, I’m definitely getting excited here.

I confide in him that I don’t drive and he had absolutely no problem picking me up.  *thumbsup*  We chose to go to the local Starbucks even though neither of us drank coffee.  Is that not just the cutest thing or what?  

Now I’m not the type of gurl who waits for doors to be open for me and such, but before I even had a chance he was already standing there with the door ajar.  Quite impressive.  Doors opened, gives my order and pays.  So we get down to chit chat.  If you already thought he was one hot commodity you ain’t heard nothing yet.  He goes to the library and brings back books for a senior citizens center.  He also belongs in a program that mentors foster children.

Yeah, by this time my tongue is draggin on the floor.  He was so polite and understanding.  We both talked about our battle with obesity as children.  It was just so nice and easy going; no demands.

I asked him about his success with the dating site.  So he told me about this gal he had met, things were really going quite well for two weeks and then all of the sudden he received an email that asked him to never contact her in anyway again.  So I was like, “What the hell?”  He lamented that he shared something with her that clearly freaked her out.  This gal was a nurse in a children’s Cancer ward, what in the world could shock her?  

He sat back in his chair for a moment and said that maybe he should tell me.  I said that it was nearly impossible to shock the likes of me.  I mean what?  You used to be a woman or something?

He said yes.  Well when I asked that question I was just farting around, but there ya go.  Even my therapist tells me, “This kinda stuff only happens to you.”

But it turned out to be purty cool.  His family and friends totally supported him one hundred percent.  And believe me, you couldn’t tell.  He also showed me his old California license and he made a really homely woman, but hey, he’s quite the attractive guy.

So no, no romance was in the cards, but we’re still good friends; he’s an outstanding person and definitely a person to have in your corner.
