So just when I had accpeted the fact that I should be and was going to be single for a while, fate throws me a curve ball. On Thursday the club I belong to had a bake sale, and on that same day all of my classes got cancelled, so I agreed to watch the table all morning so the others could go to class. Being one of the very small amount of female students that are in the tech building, I put up with a lot of crap from the guys. It doesn't bother me anymore, I've learned to either ignore it or give it back to whoever was dishing it out. So I am sitting at the bake sale table being bored out of my mind, and trying to ignore the idiots  who kept hitting on me, and trying to sell goodies at the same time. Then it happenns. It started when one of the guys from the auto program bought something from our table and 5 minutes later came back for more this time with a group of guys. 10 minutes later the group came back. They did this a few more times and then went to class. I'm sitting at the table with my laptop out playing on facebook and talking to my bestie, when V comes over and starts talking to me. He's not someone I would have normally gone after, but he was nice, then he asked for my phone number. Not sure what I was thinking but I decided what the hell and gave it to him. He goes back to class, and 15 minutes later comes back out and asks for my email add so we can chat online, gave that to him too. I seen a walk by a few more times after that and we would smile and say hi. Then I was sitting in lab after we closed the bake sale studying for a test that I had in my next class and V stands in the window and waved my to come out. So I go out and we started talking and then he asked what I was doing later that night and asked if I wanted to go out for a few hours and do something, well I had an all night game party for the club to be at, but I decided that leaving for a few hours wasn't going to hurt anything. He said he would call me around 8. I wasn't expecting him to call and was shocked when he did. So I left and told the guys I would be back later. V and I both being indecisive people decided to just go to the park and sit and talk. We talked about a lot, turns out we had the same kind of crappy childhood. And we both have similar goals and ideas on and for life. He was ok with the fact that I have a 2 year old son, which was awesome, because lately that seems to be a deal breaker for most guys. After about an hour of talking he kissed me, and that was it, he didn't try anything else, which was awesome, I've never had that happen before. When we go to leave my car died, I left the lights on and had the radio playing. So I had to text my bestie who was at the party I was supposed to be at and have her come save us. So she comes and we had to go to Wall Mart to go get jumper cables and more drinks and snacks for the party. We get my care started and go back to campus. V gives me another kiss and tells me I can call him sometime or he would see me on Monday. I am a firm believer in karma and fate. With my car dying like that I didn't know which way to take what happened, on one hand, could have been fate telling me I needed to slow down otherwise I was going to do something stupid, or Karma telling me the date was a bad idea. Naturally I go to my bestie and ask for her opinion, we couldn't decide which it was. I decided that it couldn't hurt to keep talking to him and see what happens. I don't know what came over me today, I never call a guy first, at least not in the begining stage of a relationship, but I did. V has got to be one of the few people I know that does not have a cell phone, so I had to call his house phone, and while he is in school, to save money he lives with his grandparents. He wasn't home and had to leave a message with his grandmother. He calls me when he got home, and decided to come hang out at my house for a few hours before he had to go to drill for the weekend. I was nervous because my son hasn't been around many men that I am dating, not after the one that was jealous of him. I didn't know how he was going to react, as it is he hates it whenever someone touches me, or keeps me from him. Well he did ok, V was great with him, he played with him, and was trying to interact with him, which is more than is own father did. Me and V sat next to eachother on the couch after a little bit, and he put his arm around me, and my son came right up to V and sat on his lap. I was shocked, although he did try to push V's arm off of me, he didn't like that part. V finnaly had to leave, and he said he will call me on Sunday when he gets home. So I am not sure where this is going, I still can't stop thinking about A and I still like him so much, but I am also tired of being a doormat so to speak. I want a relationship, one that didn't start off with sex, and with someone who wants to be with me and isn't afraid of letting people know that I am his girlfriend, and that is what V wants. And even though he is not someone I would normally have gone after, he is a little odd, but I want to give it a chance,  he's nice, and I even had my sister's boyfriend call a friend of his to find out about this guy, his friend called him a goon, but said he is a good guy, that's a good thing. So I guess I will see what happens, see if he calls Sunday, and I am going to take things slow this time for sure. So here is to something new, and maybe a sign that I am finally getting my old self back, with some leasons learned and growth from those leasons.
