Finding REAL Gold in a Cave of Pyrite
To give you all an update on my dating life, I am now dating someone exclusively. No, not Pez dispenser guy lol. This guy, though I am sure likes Pez (who doesn't?), is much deeper than that. I never believed in love at first site, and I was beginning to doubt that "true love" existed. As you all know I am a Christian and believe in miracles. I have prayed for the perfect man before (perfect for me, not in general.) I actually made a list of all the things I wanted in a man and read them to God (cheesy in a way, I know.) I wanted someone sensitive, loving, caring, giving and funny. A Christian man who is also interested in the paranormal (aliens and such, considering that I am a geek for that.) Our love story is a funny one. I had been dating a lot of losers (not calling "Pez guy" a loser,) anyway... I had been dating a lot of losers. None of them had really caught my attention. Of course I had prayed my prayer "Lord, let him be... *list of wants* etc... and Lord, if I meet someone that is not in your plans for me, make him seem unappealing." Well, because of this prayer NO ONE seemed appealing!! I was like "C'mon God! Gimme a break?" After confiding in my grandmother that I was going to be alone for the rest of my life (LOLL < laugh out loudly loud,) she said "I say that your dream man will come along within the week, he will be a Christian, not just that, but a preacher... Amen."
So a week flew by. I was on this dating site. PlentyOfFish.com. I hadn't been on there for long at all, no more than a couple weeks, I got this message. It said something to the effect of "Hello, I just wanted to tell you that you are very beautiful." Well, I had gotten a lot of similar messages (you know, because I am such a hot piece
.) I took a peek at his profile expecting to find something horribly wrong with him (you know, because hot things like me tend to attract the freaks loll.) I couldn't find one thing wrong with him, NADA ONE! His profile was actually quite impressive. He was very open and honest, to the point, and he knew exactly what he wanted. So I read down the list of what the perfect woman to him would be (checking them off as I went,) I realized "Wow, he must be looking for ME!" (because who wouldn't be looking for me?
loll) I got to the bottom of his profile... then I found what was wrong with him. He wasn't looking for anyone under the age of 28. I was bummed
. I wanted to message him back... so I did
. I figured that with my smooth ninja talking skills I could talk my way into this... so I did
.
I pretty much said something to the effect of "Hey, can the 28 year old rule be bent or broken? Oh and hey, here's my number 937-***-****, call me sometime." (you wish I would give it out, don't you?
) Eventually he got up the nerve to call, on a Tuesday I believe. We talked for a few and said goodbye, the second time we talked it was for hours (and hasn't changed since.) We went out for the first time on Friday, January 11th 8:45pm (he had to tell me the exact day and time LOL) it was the following Friday after the Tuesday we talked. We hit it off big, HUGE, ginormous. He actually exceeded my expectations! Wow, couldn't believe it. He was a Charismatic Christian (and an ex assistant pastor
) AND, Oooo and... he also believes in the paranormal. We liked the same music, even said some of the same kind of stuff like "I'm gonna punch you in the throat," and "abso-flippin-lutely." LOLL. The more we hung out the more we found out about each other, the more I found out about him I realized that he was ME with a penis LOL. We just fit together. He brought me flowers on the first date. I opened the door and saw him standing there, the moment I first laid my eyes on him I knew... I was going to marry that man. It was love at first site. Another odd thing about it was this, my mom and my grandparents liked him... no, they LOVED him. That has never happened before.
I eventually got to meet his children (yes, he has three... spare me the lecture.) Catie, Rachael and Emily. Adorable Kids. We went ice skating and then played some games. Emily eventually fell asleep on me that night, like she had known me forever. That is what's so weird, I feel like I have known him forever. He feels the same way, along with my family and his kids... I am loving this. It is just too perfect not to be "right." We both deleted our PlentyOfFish.com profiles after the second day of meeting and gave our promises to each other. We have been inseparable ever since. I love him and I am going to shout it from the rooftops **climbs up on her roof, almost slips but recovers. Awkwardly stands up and lifts arms in the air... takes a deep breath and shouts** "I LOVE HIM!!" I love him
. **climbs down thinking that maybe the roof wasn't such a good idea** LOL.
Anyway... yeah, so there it is. True love exists, prayers are answered and I am one blessed mamma jamma *smiles*
(man, that was a long post, and I didn't even go into too much detail! loll)

I bet mom is freaking out! You're going to be the death of her. I will spare the lecture. Just keep your guard up kid. You have the brains, just remember that when something appears too perfect to be true...it usually is. Take care Cat. Good luck.
