Had a blast tonight with my BFF and other assorted fun-loving peeps at a local hotel bar. Sat next to a Canadian man: married, stay-at-home dad. During the conversation, (before he bought me a tequila shot), he asked why a beautiful, nobel, kind-hearted kindergarten teacher like myself was still single. I proceeded to tell him about my recent 'guy friend' that I was still in love with; and how he dumped me for a woman 20 years my senior and then moved in with her after telling me in no uncertain terms that he didn't want to be committed to one person.
He made me laugh just with his jaw drop alone. Then he apologized to me on the behalf of men, and told me that 'He' (my ex-whatever-he-was), was a fool. To which I replied, "yeah, well, to each his own, I guess." To which he made me laugh again, by stating, "sure, but he still has to sleep with her! I mean even if she was decent looking, her 'box' must be so dusty and leathery."
This man gave me new hope and faith that there still is someone out there that will love me for just being myself. One that will lift my spirit with his humor and genuine personality. He's one of the 'good guys' for sure! Had he not been married, I might have been inclined to pursue him for myself.
