One month down ... a lifetime to go

Last Saturday Jaime and I celebrated being a couple for one whole month. I know that may not seem like a lot to people nowadays, who celebrates being a couple for a month? But to tell the but being a couple for one whole month and you know that you have been a couple for one whole month is fairly important. It's a step inside couplehood, admitting that "Yes the man that is trying to sing karaoke is my boyfriend" or "Yes this purse belongs to my girlfriend" while in the dressing area of the Limited. It is a major step!

Soon he will meet my mom and brother and uncle. I have to say that having him meet them is daunting because those that have met them, never returned. And when I say never, I mean NEVER! I can say that I am excited and nervous because he wants to meet them and I don't have to put the grip on him to make him do it. Yes he is willing! This is a very large step as far as I am concerned. I am looking forward to their actual meeting.

So now that I've answered the question, can I handle it?

So far, the answer is no. Actually I mean to say "HELLLLL NOOOOO!" But then I can hear my mother in the back of my mind saying, "Don't sabatoge this looking for things that aren't really there." But since answering "yes" to "Will you be my girlfriend?" a new phenomenon has started occuring. Yes, a new phenomemon is happening and it's called scared shitless.

When a woman has dealt with enough bs men, she tends to forget that not all of them are like that. She can go about her business, dealing with guy after guy, always prepared for the level of nonsense that he will bring to the table. In fact, the nonsense doesn't even phase her anymore, that's how much it has occured. And then one day, while minding her business, a man who isn't full of bs chooses her. But what does she notice- the shit on his shoes maybe? Nope, he's clean. So what do you do when there is nothing there? Well you do what you are supposed to do- you deal with it and keep moving!
