Fi mi le

This post has nothing to do with that song, but it's what was in my head so I thought it would make a great title.  This post is about the party I went to on Saturday night.  I'd like to say thanks to Musco, Tnotes and Rethots, who made me go.

I didn't want to go to this party, but was bullied by my mom and sister into going.  I went w/ absolutely no expectations.  As long as the music was good and I could dance, I was fine.  The party was off the chain, like Americans say.  It was a great party, didn't end till almost 4am.

I met a great guy there.  He's Caribbean, an Attorney, 6'1, very attractive and patient.  My sister and I were on the dance floor pretty much all night so we went into the house to take a load off and this guy approaches us.  I already check out because I figure he's there to talk to my sister and imagine my surprise when he sat next to me.  I just figured that he couldn't find a seat next to my sister so he took the next available seat.  He was talking, but I didn't quite get he was talking to me.  He asked me for my number, gave me his card and we even scanned each others BB bar codes into each other's phones.  In my mind, I just knew I'd never hear from him again, cause I was still thinking it was my sister he was really into.

So, Sunday, I went to church with mom and my sister and didn't take my phone with me.  I come back and I see that I have a missed BB msg from HIM.  I responded and so did he and we chatted pretty much the whole day.

He called me today and we talked sporadically and shared our musical tastes, he's into reggae and I introduced him to the Nigerian artists I like.

He made a comment to me about how he liked that I talked to him that night and I told him that I thought he was already spoken for because he was talking to some other woman and I didn't want to step on anyone's toes.  He told me that truth be told that I HAD stepped on someone's toes, my sister's.  He told me that he saw her first and his intent was to talk to her, but when he talked to her, something was lacking, which I find  very hard to believe, but then he noticed me and talked to me and something just clicked for him.  He proceeded to tell me, three good times, how really, really, really glad he was he went to that party Saturday.

Now for the problem.  I like him and can see definite possibilities, but I wish I hadn't gone to that party, because I wouldn't have met him.  Let me explain before you go ape shit.

I have a plan on how things are supposed to go:  Finish Nursing school in the summer of next year, get my Master's while I work, then start going out and socializing and find the one.  Now, I'm not saying he's THE ONE, but he very well could be and so, in my mind, it sucks, cause everything with him has to go on pause cause I can't afford any distractions and he would be such a lovely distraction indeed.

God help me, in Jesus name.  Amen.

Hmmm...I would say just see how it goes. If it develops into a relationship, it takes time to grow and within that time, you could achieve your career goals. If he is the ONE, he would give you the space to be you and not rush things.

I'm happy for you and hope it develops into something really beautiful.
