BGF

Well, another weekend, another experience.  Hope you have your wine...

Here goes..

After a lengthy and endearing conversation, I agreed to another date with S.A. He ended up having car issues but decided he would come to the Soapbox Races with me this Saturday.  Somehow I knew he would blow it (either of his own accord or by extenuating circumstances) so I went ahead and had a great time with my other friends that came to go.  It was an awesome day.  He did call and offer to do a make up dinner that evening.  I agreed.  And here's where I again went off the set track and deep into the brush...

Evening arrived and I hadn't heard from S.A.  I had, though, been chatting with S.L.I. all day as usual.  We were back to being just chums again and he even came up to the store where me and my girls were shopping to hang out for a bit.  So when night came and I still hadn't heard from S.A., when S.L.I. called to tell me he was finally done with work, I pouted about how my night had again not turned out like I'd hoped.  Like a charm, he promised to be at my house forth with.  It was 12:30 and I lamented that I just wanted a drink and good conversation.  Between us, that seemed to never be a problem.  It began to rain but we decided to walk to the tavern up the street anyway.  We were back again to talking of his past and life and drama and simple things that made us happy.  I couldn't help it - after 2 Long Island Ice Teas, I was all cuddly on him.  He enjoyed it and we stayed until the tavern closed. 

We walked back to my house and he told me he was going to take me over to his side of town for a tour.  We went to his brother's house which was basically another tavern and hung out there for an hour or two.  Then we went to his house and looked at all the pictures of his family and his father's baseball collection.  Then he took me home.  It was 6 am by the time I got into my bed. 

We didn't talk too much about what we'd discussed the last time we were out. He just kept smiling at me and I melted every time.  When he left, he smiled and I made the statement that he couldn't do that to me anymore - it was ruining our friendship.  He giggled and smiled again.

Such a good guy...this love thing is not wearing off as quickly as I'd hoped.

Anyway, weekend plans that started one way ended up another.  This is starting to turn into a pattern.  But as summer gets up to full speed, I'm really glad that I may have found a replacement BGF and that's he's a better model than the last...
