Friday at work was rather awkward and I’ve never thought i would have one of these conversations, at least not right now…
So while i was having a chat with an older co-worker that I’m rather chummy with… commented on how toned / good I’ve been looking as of late… etc… and then the unfathomable began…
WD: so it must be nice being SINGLE, having the time of your life, doing what you please…etc etc
Me: yup, just catching up with my friends especially now that my bestest have moved back in town; running and windsurfing a lot, and church is busy, etc… (skip anything relating to my recent heart break and things that are still personal-life to be separated from work-life topics at bay)
WD: that’s cool… [silence]… too bad i don’t have anyone to SET. YOU. UP. WITH. … oh wait, maybe i do… lemme think
Me: [shocked beyond believe... WTF... 1. that she wanted to set me up. 2. that she thought that i should be with someone. 3. the beginning of Me as a girl that needs to be saved]… i just laughed and said please no … I’m enjoying my time right now…
WD: but you need to keep an open mind… you never know until you try… etc. etc… [awkward silence]… i guess you’d have no problem finding your beau…
OMG …… though i appreciate her trying to look after my well being… or the fact that it will be amusing to play match-maker… never have i thought that right now, I’d have this conversation or become victim and a candidate in the “let’s play match-maker world”…. maybe when I’m 35 and STILL single and feel miserable being sans boyfriend (that’s a very long ways away)…. maybe next time she’ll hand me my account to eharmony.com or [findaboyfriend].com or something to that affect.
But honestly…
I’m not ready for anything right now…
my journey through the valley is still rather new… and it still hurts……….
