How I Met Everyone Else - "Tales from the Bus ride"

Up early still getting the hang of this blogging thing by scrapping off the rust from my creative writing wheel. Having tons of fun with it and enjoy reading the writers I follow. I wanted to make a quick post before my morning jog then begin my day of to-do-list.

I have been meaning to post about a few things but I will start with this. Two weeks ago I had an interesting bus ride. Nothing like the movie Speed, falling in love with someone handsome who has saved me from a life threatening situation. No just a pleasant conversation with an average bus driver (call him #15). He wouldn't be my type (*hmph* sometimes I'm still figuring out what IS my type lol) but if this makes any kind of sense, maybe I found the conversation attractive.

It's not so much about flirting with a man or meeting my 'Winchester boys with a blend of Noah from the move Notebook' type of guy. It's about uncharted territories. In order to prove I can have a successful relationship with my Mr. Right. I need to take risks with an unfamiliar parts of myself. To be ok with having a casual conversation men without the stigmata of the angry bitter woman eternally scorned.

Not to worry what people think showing that I am a confident woman. That I am in touch with my own tools of  discernment pertaining to my inner spirit, my mind and my heart. It's about knowing which risks to go forward with and which ones to step away from.

My conversation with #15 was about general things it lead to how the city works verses the state for people who have city jobs. There was no turn-offs by taking a casual conversation & leading it into something other than what it should be. A cool relationship among strangers. Well I ran into him again twice this week. First on Monday making my usual run to the city. I didn't realized who he was until after I sat down. I didn't play that ol' game of "oh... yeah not interested... but hi anyway" . I said hello, wished a good day and got off the bus. Then I saw him again the next day on my way back from the city, he was a bit abrupt towards me. Didn't take it personal I just said well hello to you too when he looked up he said hey! apologized for being abrupt but his day has been stressful and rushed. We asked how each of us was doing, joked about his day and the people he had to deal with that day. When it was time for me to go he thanked me for not having an attitude, giving him a good laugh and for making him smile. I said it was nice to run into him again and wished him a good evening.

Nothing more nothing less... just tapping into my own uncharted territory to becoming a better me.

Time for me to get my workout on. Thanks for visiting don't forget to join the Hive of fellow HoneyBz.

Oh No! Am I a Cougar?

Today Bestey J. (my shoes) & I strolled around the city getting myself together for my future. Oh 'n' p.s. picked up a cute leaopard riding hat along the way (quick view).

I think my shoes have given me cougar fever lol. Minding my own business tending to what I have to do the next 2 months it first started on the bus I was in the middle of my usual back & forth texting with my favorite family member (Angel) catching up with each other. Out of the blue a this guy compliments my smile so of course I smiled more and said thank you. He offered to take me to lunch I said I had to be some where and I'm running late but thank you again its very sweet of you to ask. Then he continued to let me know that his class ends around 2:30'ish how about then. He's a freshman in college? I had to ask... he's 20... LMBO

Received another compliement on the train for my shoes from another guy. He ask if he can walk with me to get to know me better dude I see your wedding ring so yeah thanks pal & keep it movin. He wasn't offended but said keep showing off that smile I have a nice smile. Oh and I could tell he was younger than me too probably mid-upper 20s.

I get to my destination noticing a very attracting man so was everyone woman in the office noticing him as well. So what do I do? sit right next to him and pretend I don't have a pen. *rolling eyes* I know... LAMEO! ... what he was very attractive lol. Then I pretend to forget the date, LoL. Yes I am holding my head in shame but I don't know what got over me, lol. Another woman came over asked to borrow his pen too *pfft* copy cat. I struck up a short convo about this title I read off this men's health magazine he was reading. Had no clue what I was saying but he was polite. After waiting for a long time we both got taken care of right away. He left first, I had an appetite so I went around the corner to grab a sandwhich  which was delish ceasar salad whole wheat wrap, yum!

Guess who walks in "men's health mag" guy I guess he was hungry too... yaay me! He sat 1 table over from mine smiled at me probably thinking "oh its that chic with the dumb convo about my magazine" LOL but there was another short conversation about my choice for lunch. Before I left I figured out how old he was after he mentioned he worked at Crunch since 2006 2 years right after he graduated from high school .

Yep 24, damn.

I am already opening myself up to dating outside of my race and dating a man with children. I already went down that road of a younger guy a few years back not a story to tell. The question I'm asking myself today is should dating someone younger than me be another possibility??

Do I Respond?

I went to check emails and got more responses from this particular dating site. I was thinking about my profile page and I think I want to change what I wrote. I don't want to come off desperate & prove too much to a stranger that I'm a great woman especially  to be a future wife & mother, picky & judgmental or  when someone reads it he's thinking yeah yeah  yeah who are you fooling if you typed that you're not a particular way then you most definitely are or if you claim to be a certain type of person you most definitely are NOT. I want to keep as true to myself limiting all the fluff and a taste of my natural personality. So not to come off way too picky just a little picky I think the editing is needed.

Ok so you know how these online dating sites profile you have to come up with a headline that will attract the members to your profile?
