Hey Ya'll. Dallas here. I've been stuck in the house for 2 freaking days and I'm about to lose my mind!! Stupid ice storm.
Anyway. I'm not too far removed from a break-up that I didn't see coming nor did I want to happen and only a couple weeks after we broke up I found out he was already in another relationship. Needless to say, my heart was/is broken but I'm starting to try and pick up the pieces and move on. Even through the tears I'm still such a hopeless romantic and believe that I will find true love one of these good ole days.
Which leads me to this situation...
So a couple of weeks back my friends and I attended this event and had a blast. While there, I spotted this guy and while he was not really what I usually go for physically (I'm a sucker for a handsome dark skin man and he's a light bright lol) there was something about him. He just had a really cool vibe. We share mutual friends and exchanged pleasantries but nothing came of it.
A few days later, every one was posting pics from the event and one of our mutual friends posted a pic with him and tagged him on Facebook. So of course being the nosey one that I am, I clicked on his paged and started looking around.
I absolutely loved what I saw. He's a very successful, God-fearing, purpose driven man.
So I took a chance and sent him a friend request. He accepted and I again took another chance and sent him a message about previously meeting him and being impressed by the work he's doing in our community and his blog. He responded back and it was all very innocent and pretty short. I purposely ended the conversation on my own terms (games I know) and that was that.
Anywho since I've been locked into the house, I've been semi-stalking his social networks (or what we refer to as "doing research") lol. It eventually led me to his instagram and I decided to follow him...he followed me back dance:
We are going to be at the same event again next weekend and I'm sooo excited but I'm like....what kinda sh!t is that? Why am I excited? :bulgy-eyes:
Ya'll I have no clue if this man is dating someone (I did as much snooping as I could and couldn't find any evidence lol). Hell I don't even know if he is attracted to me (I mean I've never met a man who wasn't....but I don't want to assume He hasn't given me any type of hint or indication that he is interested in me BUT the only moment we've had is a 2 min passing introduction and couple of messages on FB.
Idk. I feel really stupid being all geeked about a guy I have no idea is even interested in me but I've been trying to find the perfect outfit for next weekend that screams..."I'm sexy but classy" and plotting what I'm going to say when I do see him.
In a perfect world, he will approach me first and lead the conversation so I won't have to say anything..actually that's kind of what I expect to happen if he's really interested in me.
Even typing this long as dissertation makes me feel stupid. I don't know him from a can of worms and yet here I am...
Anyone ever been in this situation and it turned out to be something special? Or am I team forever alone on this one? :
