Can you feel the love tonight?? (Warning: Attn Whoring)

[Joe Biden 2020]

For those of you who have looked at my facebook status in the last 15 minutes, I have an interesting development that is trying to brew!!

My ex-fiancee' apparently has been trying to get me hooked up with a girl.  This afternoon at work, she e-mailed me and asked me if I wanted come over to her house tonight to watch a movie.  She informed me about this girl from my hometown, a single mom of a 4-year-old boy.  The girl is a little older than myself around either 29 or 30 years old.  I'm 27 years old.  She is a good Christian woman from what I was told and a regular church-goer.  Both qualities are number 1 and number 2 on my list of standards.  I didn't meet the girl tonight, but I hope to in the near future.  I'm going to eat dinner with my ex and her soon-to-be hubby pretty often so I can meet and get to know her.  My ex, with my permission, is going to tell this lady about me so we'll both have an idea of what we'll be looking at.  I'm going to take things very slowly and let God lead the two of us where He wants.  The first thing I did when I got in the car to go home from work this afternoon was pray and give this entire thing to God before I even start.  He can handle it so much better than I can.  The things I need to learn how to do is improve my outward appearance, build my self-confidence, and learn how to sweep her off her feet daily.  I'm going to be constantly in God's Word and in prayer with Him as well as in contact with her, my ex and her husband, and my other best friend from high school who doesn't know anything about the situation but who knows me extremely well.

For those of you in relationships, (like jmfcst, JSojourner, Torie, dead0man, and others) please give me your thoughts.  Of course, none of you have ever met me in person and only know me through this Forum and Facebook, so this will be taken with a grain of salt.

I am feeling really good about this.  I hope to be able to meet her sometime this week.  Its either this week or wait until July, since I will be on vacation in a week for a week and my ex will be getting married the last weekend of June and will be gone for a week and a half up almost to the Fourth of July.  My ex seems pretty confident about this whole thing, too.  Since she knows both of us, I can trust her confidence and her judgement.  I know that if we do end up tying the knot somewhere down the road, I will save any kind of intimacy until after we're married.  From what I heard, I would be the one to have to take the intiative to slow things down.  This lady has a tendency to rush things along.  We will just have to wait on the Lord's timing.  I definitely wouldn't want to go too fast, but I also don't want to go too slow, either.  It will be a welcome challenge finding the right speed.  As intermoderate said, if she's the right one, it will happen naturally.  That's the nice thing about it.  God will take care of the timing, we just have to be diligent to listen to His direction and to each other's feelings and thoughts.  In case any of you are wondering what her name is, its Tiffany.  I guess that means I can have "Breakfast at Tiffany's", no?

I just received the green light from my parents to "proceed with caution".  I wasn't looking for their blessing per se since I am 27, but its always nice to have.

Like I said, I've never met her, but I have another friend besides my ex who knows her and I trust both of their judgements.

Don't worry, Joe, I'm going to take things very slowly and really am not thinking that far ahead.  Although, I will throw in a disclaimer and say that with my age, I normally try to not enter relationships if there is no conceivable possibility of going that far.  I don't know if there will be anything to this or not, and I am definitely not planning any details or anything like that.  I just want to meet her and go from there.  I'm thinking no farther than a potential first date by ourselves without the company of this other couple.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Good luck.



(And really, you should know better than to post all that.  You're just begging to be teased.)

That's why I haven't come down hard on anyone...  Hey, I know I'll get the treatment for what I post.   Who knows, I might even laugh with them!  I have no problem with self-deprication.

For the issue of her husband, apparently he is a military man but she has nothing to do with him anymore.  She doesn't even bring him up to my ex.

I am going over to my ex's house this Tuesday for dinner and a movie, so we'll see what happens.

It sounds like your ex is the one you really want.

At one time, that would have been true.  I'm just going over to her house because thats where the meet-up with Tiffany will take place, whenever it takes place.  My ex, Somer, has her own love and he's a very good man and will take care of her.

I really do thank you all for your kind words.  It really means so much to me that while we may bicker about politics, we know what's most important and we can agree on that.

After a lot of prayer and inward soul searching, I am completely at peace right now and am anxious to meet her.  It will be like a child unwrapping his favorite toy on Christmas morning.  That's how much I'm looking forward to it.  Of course, love is more important than a Red-Ryder BB Gun, but the idea is the same.

My ex sternly warned me tonight that if things do work out in that direction, we'd better wait for anything until after the wedding or she will kick my derrier.

Like I said, though, I'm not even planning for anything beyond our first meet-up, maybe our first date.  One day, One step, at a time.

Hey, watch your language, mister.

She actually used the actual three-letter donkey, @$$, I just modified it.

and she calls herself a christian?

My ex is a Christian, but sometimes uses "colorful metaphors" as Capt Spock would say.  She's not a perfect little angel by any means.

BREAKING NEWS:

I am finally going to meet Tiffany tonight at 5:30 (2 hours from now) at my ex's house.  I'll eat dinner with them and probably watch a movie and then I'll take her and her son home.

I got myself all cleaned up, all showered, beard shaved, teeth brushed, and decent clothing.  I've also got my car all cleaned out so I can take the two of them home.

I am so excited and a little nervous at the same time.  This could be a meeting tonight that has the potential to drastically change the course of my life.  Even though it will probably only be 3 or 4 hours, it could be big.

Please keep me in your prayers tonight!!

My ex did talk to Tiffany today and told her all my good points and that she thinks we'd a great couple and Tiffany is all for it.  That's a BIG plus when the girl is willing to give it a chance.

... tell me about it!

LOL. Without her approval, there is no deal!!

One thing I've learned by looking and observing other relationships is while the man is the head of the household, the woman is the neck that turns the head.  Now tell me who the TRUE boss is, heh?

[Joe Biden 2020]

I just got home from this encounter and WOW!!!  I just want to say she is everything I was hoping for and more.  We hit it off really well tonight.  We swam for a little bit at my ex's house and then she and I and her son went back home.  We ate at a mexican restaurant and then i took her home and I stayed there for over an hour.

I want to utter these four words that are mutual between us that describe our encounter:

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!!

My God answered every request I asked of Him before I left and then some.  She is a good Christian woman, Sunday School teacher, involved on 3 different committees.

We already have several things lined up the next month.  We have our next date this Tuesday, then again this coming Friday.  After I get back from my vacation, we will be heading out to my ex's wedding in Mena, Arkansas (south of Fort Smith) on Friday night, June 26 and will probably return on Sunday, June 28.

Her son is fantastic.  He is a typical four year old boy.  I think he and I will get along really well and he already likes me.  He was not bashful at all towards me when we first met tonight.

Unfortunately, Tiffanye (that's the correct spelling) has a badly sprained ankle from falling down the stairs of her apartment last Tuesday.  She will probably have to have an MRI done on it and possibly surgery, so she was hobbling along with her big black boot on.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I can't sleep this morning.  I guess I am just way too excited about what transpired Sunday night.  I have a peace about this.  I have a peace that I have never felt before in a relationship, not even with my ex.  I cannot think of ANY hiccups.  As Christians, God sometimes gives us a peace that passes all understanding.  I know God is with us.

She is not only a gem of a person on the inside, but she is very beautiful on the outside, as well.

This relationship officially started Sunday, June 7, 2009 at 5:45 pm Central Daylight Time.  It was at that moment when I first laid my eyes on her that I knew my life had just changed.

As you read in my previous post, we had our first mini-date last night, as well.  Like the gentleman that I am I provided door service and picked up the dinner tab.

She already wants me to meet her parents on the Fourth of July weekend.  So, I'm having to scramble to return the favor and think of a way to arrange for her to meet my parents and grandmother.

intermoderate was talking about letting things happen naturally between us.  It was almost like we were already dating before we even met each other for the first time.  It was that natural.  Conversation just flowed naturally after that all through the next four and a half hours until I had to leave at 10:10 so we could both get some sleep for work today.  There was some kind of a spark and I think we're beginning the process of turning that spark into a flame and that flame into a raging fire.

Of course, I won't bore you with every detail that goes on between us as we need to have things kept private between us.  I'll just fill you in as to HOW we are doing, not necessarily WHAT we are doing.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Well, its kind of hard to take it slow when it was love at first sight, when sparks are flying everywhere, when we have so much in common, when we spend 6-7 hours a night with each other.  We're taking as it comes naturally, which just happens to be stuck in the high gear.  While we are not officially engaged at this point, we have stopped using the phrase "if we get married".  Now, we are using the phrase "when we get married".  We have both agreed that intimacy will wait for marriage, that we will not live together until we're married.  We won't even sleep in the same house until we're married, and if we have to, it will not be the same bed.  We have both said the only thing that will stop us now is if the Lord comes back for his church before then.  We have both committed that divorce is not and will never be an option.
