SHE'S INCREDIBLE

So, a while back I wrote a post about rejection. Included in that post was not one, but two separate incidents of rejection. Or, so I thought. One of the wood be rejections was at the hands of a young lady I've been pursuing for months now. She didn't say "no." She said, "Maybe." This maybe was accompanied by a bunch of hurdles that would need to be addressed before it became a "yes." I just figured that her "maybe" was a nice way of saying "no." Turns out I was wrong.

At the advise of a friend of mine, who happens to be in sales, I did not throw in the towel. Instead, I informed the young lady I would be asking her out every week on Tuesday's. It became kind of a joke after a while. I had no expectation of her ever saying yes as I had not overcome the other criteria. Nevertheless, I continued on. In an attempt to spice things up I purchased her a "hello" you've been on my mind type of card. That would seem to have been the clincher.

It wasn't that week that she said yes, but instead the week after. I was so surprised I didn't know what to do with myself. Some things you've been working so hard to get that you can't believe you've actually made it. This was one of those situations. After the fight to get her to say yes came the fight to actually go out. Once going out was settled, making it a pleasing event was all that was on my mind.

I was anxious that I would fail miserably and she wouldn't want to go out with me again after saying yes. Thank God, this was not the case. We met at an Irish Pub and hung out for four hours straight, talking, laughing, drinking...It was an absolute ball! What's even better, when I escorted her to her vehicle she told me that she didn't have any idea how late it was until she got in her car. That was a comforting sign that she wasn't watching the clock at all.

I must say that is had to have been one the greatest dates I've ever been on. I was relaxed, lacked self-consciousness, and had an amazing time. I give her credit for that. She likes me the way I am. No need to posture or put on a front. SHE'S INCREDIBLE. Needless to say, I can't wait to see her again. I'm trying to show restraint and hold back. It's tough when you've come across such a great person and you're trying to secure their heart. I can play it cool though (even if I don't have to).
