From Karen’s journal…
I just met the most amazing man. He saved me from an ugly fate. At least I think he did. I was at this party at a bar with some friends. A man approached me and asked if I wanted to go back to his place. Say what? I didn’t know this guy. He was very insistent and I didn’t get the feeling he would take no for an answer. Did he think I was a hooker or something? No clue why I even went to that party.
Then the amazing man walked up – I think the first man was his boss – creep. Anyway, this guy told the creep that I wasn’t his type. He finally convinced the creep to leave. And before he turned to go, he smiled at me. My heart melted. Then he whispered an apology. Oh, his voice. My heart pooled on the floor at his feet. But, New York is a big place and this particular establishment is not in my neck of the woods. I doubt I will ever see him again.
Note to self: Next time I meet a man like this, say something!
Later….
His name is Barry! Yes -the amazing man walked back into my life today. He and the creep showed up at the restaurant. Fortunately the creep was distracted with some blond babe draped on his arm. After they paid their waitress, they left and I thought that was that. But then HE came back in. Walked right up to me. I still remember his exact words.
“I wish we had met under different circumstances, but I hope we can get past that, because I have a feeling that I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Okay. Now that only happens in fairy tales. Unless of course it’s some sort of great pick up line. Which in all likelihood it is. But I would be stupid to not find out if this man were real or not.
I watched him walk out the door then I ran to the back and stuck my head in the cooler. Be still my heart. We’re going out on Friday. What shall I wear?
Note to self: Don’t mess this one up.

Connie, Thanks for stopping by on the A to Z challenge.
I agree – get the conversation started – who knows where it will go! My husband and I met through a mutual friend at a church single's activity almost 24 years ago! Sure am glad we started talking 🙂
