Lastnight

I was waiting to be seated at a restaurant lastnight after a friend and I had a full day of shopping.
The restaurant was crowded. 15 minute wait turned out to be more like half an hour.

While sitting down waiting for our name to be called I overheard a lady talking behind me. She was a pretty loud big lady dressed in red with a young son in a stroller and she was talking to her girl friend.

Lady in red: Sooo the kiss was soooo amazing! It was wonderful. I'm just wondering if he felt it too though....

Friend: I'm sure he did.

Lady in red: Well, I know, I hope so... I feel things are going really great with him...so I told him straight up what I need.

Friend: What did you say?

Lady in red: Well I told him like it is; I have a son, I'm not here fooling around; I really like you and enjoy our time together; I know what I want; I want someone who is there for me and for my son; someone who is there for us; who can be a father to my son and a husband to me; someone who is there full time and who understands me and my needs; not a fling or a part time or one time thing; I'm serious about this....

Friend: Oh really thats good, you have to tell it how it is up front...what did he say then...

Lady in red: (very optomistically) Well he actually was quiet, but I could see he was thinking about it, he didnt say much but I could see him actually concidering it and thinking it over.

Friend: Well thats good

Lady in red: Ya it is and I was like: wow this is great...I really do like him and that kiss was so wonderful
(then alittle bewildered)
But its already the weekend and he has not called back.... I dont understand why he did not call back yet...whats up with that?! He has not said anything since then...I mean is it just me that thought the kiss was so wonderful?

Friend: I'm sure he thought the same just give him time.

Lady in red: Yea I know, he was thinking about it, I just dont get why he hasnt called me back yet, ya know, even just to say that he is thinking about it...my heart is aching, I really do like him...


Interesting... I really hope this was not her first date with the guy.
Its funny how you have a different picture of things when you are not involved in the situation and are looking in on it from afar...
I have not read the book "He's just not that into you" yet and I plan to. Sometimes I wonder if we fool ourselves into thinking hopefully when instead we should just keep moving on....
Its a hard situation she is in.
Hope it turns out ok for that lady despite what I am thinking when I heard this....
