I was always falling for guys who thought of me as being "a good friend". They would rave on and on that I was wonderful, had a great personality, what a great cook and the list goes on, but none of them ever asked me out on a date and always lead to be me either being drunk or spending many weekends, especially Saturday nights alone.
One Saturday, I was took myself to the bank and took out a nice chunk of money from my account and said "I'm treating myself to whatever I wanted today, so I hope the malls and the bars are ready for me." I treated myself to the diner with all my favorites - pancakes, sausage, bacon and eggs over easy. I had 2 cups of black coffee. I called a few friends and invited them for shopping and they all turned me down. I even offered to buy them something new to wear. I was sick of it all; my friends and my job.
I went to 3 malls and treated myself nicely. I got 4 new pairs of shoes, 2 new pair of sneakers, 20 new tops which included sweaters and blouses, 3 jackets, 2 blazers, 6 handbags, 7 skirts, 5 pairs of slacks, and 8 pairs of assorted jeans. I also got 6 new dresses. I even went to in the jeweler and bought myself a new watch and I necklace I had been admiring for a few weeks. I stopped briefly for lunch and had myself a few drinks. I went to the computer store and got myself a new laptop and also upgraded my cell phone.
After driving home and unloading my car, I set up my new laptop and decided that I would go on one of those "on-line dating chat rooms that everyone ones bragging about. They had so much to choose from. They started with the straight, man/woman relationship, then the older man/younger woman, the man/man relationship, the woman/woman relationship, the bisexual relationships and then the interracial relationships. I decided to go on the interracial relationship chat. I was talking to all kinds of guys and it was a lot of fun. I went to my liquor cabinet and got out the JD and poured myself a half a glass with tons of ice. I went back on and there was a message from a guy who said he saw my picture and wanted to chat so I went to the chat and looked for him and he popped up.
This guys name was Noah and he was 48 and I am 53; he is black and straight and I am white and also straight. I have no problems with gay men and women because I have some friends that are, but that just isn't my thing. Noah was quite the handsome black guy. Shaved head, dark dreamy eyes and a large dimples. I love dimples. We started to talk and laugh and it appeared that we were hitting it off. He wanted to meet me that night at a bar that was on the boarder of our two states and it was still early enough to get there by 8:00. I agreed to meet him and I was so excited. I didn't tell any of my friends because I didn't want to hear there shit. Dating sights, meeting someone that you don't know in a strange town and strange bar. The topper would be that my date was black. Hey, I have no problem with black/white or any kind of interracial relationships. In fact, if you ask my best friend, she will tell you I have always had it bad for blacks but never made any moves on them. I have two close male friends that are black, but we never had gone out and the most we did was a kiss now and then.
