That Energy Though…ijs
So…I met a nice guy last weekend. I was out some friends, and having a good time when we struck up a conversation with a couple of guys standing near us. I ultimately exchanged numbers with a tall gentleman who seemed nice and had fairly good conversation. I left the party for home around 12:30am (Cinderella, I know). When I woke up the next morning, I saw that he had sent a text saying that he hoped I’d made it home okay. Brownie points for him and that text. It was a nice gesture and made me smile.
Fast forward a week, and after a couple of texts, he called me this evening. During the conversation, when speaking of the Women’s March yesterday, he asked if I’d attended. I told him that my daughter would not have had the most pleasant experience (hey, I KNOW my child). He was like, “Oh, you have a daughter.” He then asked me “So, how long were you married?” He earned more brownie points for asking how long I was married, not IF I had been married (not that there is anything wrong with having children outside of marriage – it just isn’t my thing). He then went on to say that he “never would have guessed that I’d been married and had a daughter, because my energy on the night we met was so great, so real. I was out and having a good time….”
So I listened to that part about my energy thinking “WTF?” He didn’t mean it as a diss, he was just saying that he seems to meet a lot of women who have been in my situation (divorced). We discussed how some of his friends are on the “marriage is horrible, I’m never doing that shit again” bandwagon. In my opinion, people who say that are still bitter, still carrying around some hurt and disappointment from that experience and perhaps they need to figure out a way to get past it.
Sure, I’m divorced. I was pissed at the ex for a long time, but I got over it (well before the divorce papers came). He’s still an idiot, though. For real. I am NOT on that “never getting married again” bandwagon. Out there is someone who is the right man for me.
The night I met this new guy, I was having a great time. So yes, my energy was on point. Why wouldn’t it have been? I was dressed up, looking gorgeous, and feeling good…how else am I gonna catch the eye of someone I might want to know?
Having made some positive changes in my life within the twenty two days of this year alone, that “energy” is going to be spilling out all over the place. This year, I’ve got a new attitude….
That energy? Yep, I’m going to use that “energy” to real them all in. Starting with this one….maybe.
