During
this that I was trying to work out a way to seal the deal with my
reluctant love interest I happened to run into an old flame at church
one day. She was house and babysitting for a lady who lived by me and
so we spent the time we were supposed to be learning about Jesus to
talk and catch up. She told me she had been having a hard time
dealing with some personal problems and a bad boyfriend. I listened
and when church was over I walked with her back to the house she was
staying at and then asked her to go for a hike and picnic with me.
She seemed really excited to do that and we went out that afternoon
and had a great time. She told me that this was the first time she
had been happy and stress free in a very long time. I told her she
just needed to dump that dirt-bag boyfriend of hers and she could
move on and be happier all the time. We went home and she thanked me
for a nice time and then latter that afternoon called to tell me that
she had taken my advice and dumped her deadbeat boyfriend. I
congratulated her and told her if she needed anything I was always
there for her. I burned that bridge shortly.
