Chapter 1, We Get to Know Each Other

This post is a prequel to Volume 2 of our heroine's life. Back in October of last year she spent a few days,,,not many mind you, thinking about what she had been through with the last man in her life and decided that she was too damn good of a woman to be alone and there had to be someone out there that was just right for her.

So after picking herself up and dusting herself off the heroine put herself on match.com. First man up was a scam artist who wanted money, the second man was a hard working man but no education. She then tried Christian Mingle but all the men who liked her profile didn't drink,,,not good.

Finally, our heroine decided to try Our Time, the internet site for the over 50 crowd. She was impressed at how many hits she was getting on her profile but none of them were what she was looking for.

In her profile our heroine mentioned that she was a cancer survivor, liked a drink almost every night, a good cigar was to be enjoyed on occasion and she was moving to Florida. Men from about 25 of the 50 states replied. But none really got her attention, until,,,,,,,,,,,,

Our heroine got a "Like" for one of her photos. Woofie4U2 was interested. Our heroine looked at his photo and kept going. Her first impression was "what a grouchy man". So she ignored him. He liked her other photos,,,,all of them over the next few days. He commented that he liked her profile and he would love to chat with our heroine.


The man was very, very persistent. So our heroine went back and looked at his profile. She really liked what he had written. But he was still a grouchy looking man. She had had enough of grouchy and wanted something better. Even his second photo was grouchy. I'm thinking of Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street here,, GO AWAY.


However the man was not easily discouraged and he kept trying to get the attention of our heroine . Finally she broke down and went through all of his photos. She found this one from Christmas. Look at that,,,he's not grouchy looking,, no scowl on his face.


And then there was this one from a trip he had made to the Childress Winery. Our heroine knew at this point that she had to reconsider the grouchy person and give him a shot. It was the best thing she has EVER done. He is not grouchy,,,unless you aggravate him. He is funny and very romantic and everything our heroine wanted in a man.


Our heroine is now dating this man and has never, and I mean never, been so happy in her life. It is awesome. She makes sure she tells this man everyday how much she loves him and how glad she is that he was extremely patient and very, very persistent.


Now, in all fairness to my sweetheart I need to relate the story behind the first two, very grouchy photos. My sweetheart had been in a car wreck and at the time those 2 photos were taken has been using a wheelchair to get around as he recovered from a broken back, neck and leg. For those two photos his son in-law grabbed him by the armpits and stood him up against the tree and the boat. I would have been extremely grouchy also if that had been me. On the bright side I bet the grouchy photos kept a lot of other perspective matches away,,,,whew.
