moving forward

Charlie was shy and in emotional turmoil, thinking he had it all, a home, 3 healthy happy kids.  Suddenly that was turned upside down.  He clearly was not getting my less that obvious passes, it was cute.  Finally I took the bull by the horns and invited him to a block party I was attending 4th of July weekend, to my surprise and delight he came.  It became clear to me at this party that there was another girl who had designs on him as well and nick named him "Charlie bear" really? UGH.  So, like they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer, she became my new best friend..... I soon learned she lied and did not have my best interest at heart, luckily Charlie figured it out and ignored anything she said. 

When he had to leave the party, I kissed him good-bye, he still didn't get it.  It was becoming clear to me I was gonna to have to throw myself at this man and believe me you I would. He had been a dedicated husband and father and was outa the game.

Several weeks went by, we talked after every game...when the kids where with him I chatted with them, but was never introduced, I thought they were adorable...but they scared the HELL outa me.   On one particular night it was so hot that one of the guys on the team invited us to his home for drinks and to go in the pool....Charlie was on the fence about going, but I beged, I mean it I beged.  He said he would come~ In the pool alone, I had less than lady like behavior, and let him know how much I liked him.

I had made so many mistakes with men in the past, sleeping with them to soon, I was not going to do this with him.  I was going to take my time build a relationship and make him fall in love with me.  At the end of the night he asked for my number, he called the next day.
