In the year I was single I cannot tell you how many times I heard some variation of the phrase “the right guy will show up when you least expect it”. Ok self… just stop looking… yeah that is super easy to do. I think humans inherently search. Nobody really wants to be alone. I took my time, and tried to fix me. I wanted to be a person I would want to date. I feel like I put my wants and needs above everything else for a good bit of time… and then Match.com happened. Oh good lord. I want to cancel it right now.
I went on that date with neighbor boy…. And it went fantastic. In fact… it’s is still going fantastic. We started at World of Beer…. Which is my hotspot… I know… The wait staff kept giving me knowing looks since it was my third time there with a new boy in a short week. He showed up and was not really like the neighbor I remembered. Of course I remembered the skinny kid with harry potter glasses, or the gawky teenage who used to mow my parents lawn when I was home during the summers working my college jobs… I always knew his name, and his mother more so and would always ask how her three boys were… never did I expect to end up on a date with the older of the three. But there I was after accidently hitting on a guy online I said was too young for my age preference, but he responded back… and when I realized I had his number in my phone already since he had taken care of my cat the month before, I almost freaked out and said forget about it. Instead I went with it, asked him for drinks and proceeded to go with it for the entire night. We ended up hitting up more spots in downtown Raleigh and topping the night off at an Irish pub singing karaoke to a terrible 90s song… Tubthumping by chumbawumba… yeah I said Tubthumping.
It was a great date, and I was honestly not expecting it…
I guess they were right.
