A Reappearance

So, I’d pretty much blown off the eHarmony guy.

I was awful and just never emailed him back. And he kept coming, being understanding, and pursuing. His final email said something along the lines of “I hope I didn’t scare you off. I’d still love to talk some more.” And yes, he spelled love ‘lov’. Have I mentioned that I’m a grammar snob? But I never responded. Because sometimes even I can be an immature 19-year-old.

Well, on Wednesday, I checked my email, and guess who wants to be my new Facebook friend?

Oh, the thoughts that leaves in my head….

First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever drawn anything out this long in my whole entire life! This has gone on since Thanksgiving. And he’s still here. And he’s still pursuing me. I just don’t know what to do.

Then, I was complaining to God about how this guy just came out of nowhere again. Out of nowhere, and now I have this “problem” to deal with on top of everything else. And then God reminded me that on Sunday, when I scanned the sanctuary looking at the absence of single men, I had asked God “Could we just start over and could you just send me someone out of nowhere to come for me?” Yep. Exact phrase I used with God, and exact phrase I used when complaining about this guy. So I looked at God, asked a few more questions, and then began playing out the whole thing in my head, with a lovely little Christmastime wedding (long story) as the culmination of a beautiful courtship. Have I mention that I tend to get a bit ahead of myself at times?

When I finally gave it some thought, I decided that if Tim Tebow were to email me and pursue me with horrible grammar as if he were writing me a text or an instant message, well…I’d probably still want to bear his children and generally be his love slave, so the least I could do is give this guy a chance.

But I’m not interested in drawing this out any longer.

So I emailed him:
Hello Facebook friend!

I'm well. It's been a crazy week here. My BF had a baby on Wednesday.

I know this is a bit forward, but I'm not going to be good getting to know on internet. Should we just meet in person?

Let me know...
Jennifer

We’ll see where this leads…
