Mr Walmart - 1st call

Mr Walmart called, as he said he would, and I must say the 1st phone call was as nice as the initial meet and greet. The 30 minute conversation did ALL it needed to do with out giving or taking away too much.

A little about Mr Walmart: he's 31 years old with one 12 year old son. When I asked him if he wanted anymore children he responded simply "NO" because of his attraction to older women. You like what you like, that much I know so I thought that rather commendable on his behalf that he would sacrifice the opportunity to have more children to be with the older woman he loves. He knows most of the women he is attracted to have adult children and have had some form of procedure to prevent childbearing so he is happy with the one son he has. He is gainfully employed full time and attends school as well. He has attended the same church for the past 5 years and admitted that he is not a devout Christian. Yes he has a personal, close relationship with GOD but he does fall short sometimes. I dare not judge there because who among us is any different? He's a sports fanatic and was extremely impressed that I am a FOOTBALL lover and could talk the sport with him. Of course we went over the "why are you single" on both sides and we both have our reasons so *shrugs* who knows, this could lead to something!

It was really a nice conversation over all, nothing derogatory or out of the way. He did say, which I thought was just TOO cute, 'I am applying for the position that you have open and if I pass the initial interview I will gladly accept the position'. I was lost at first but quickly figured out he was referencing the position of HUSBAND, life long mate! We shall see. I will say he knows how to safely play his deck of cards, which is a great thing but do not get it twisted, game recognize game. I will ride this until the wheels fall off OR until I discern this is not the place for me.

Stay tuned as Mr Walmart and I go out on our 1st date ...

Mr. Walmart - Chivalry is not TOTALLY dead!

Today, I had an awesome experience in one of our local Walmart's. As I walked towards the aisle for bottled water, a very neat, casually dressed man and I crossed paths. It seems that after that first encounter we continued to cross paths for the duration of our time in the store and nodded in acknowledgement each time we did. At check out I placed my banana and water on the belt as did he. He pushed his banana next to mine as if signaling for me to purchase it for him. I giggled (yes giggled) because I thought it was cute but I smiled and slid mine forward, paid & walked out. **SN: He did have a $20 bill in his hand which I found out later was for his AND my purchase**

As I departed Walmart and walked across the street to Center Stage barbershop a car slowly rolled up behind me, it was Mr Walmart. He drove up, stopped, complimented me and asked if I was from Jacksonville, when told no he advised could tell. He then asked if he could call me since I did not allow him to pay for my items. I, of course, gave him my VI business card and moved on. A few minutes later Mr Walmart calls and asked me 3 questions:

1. Do I aspire to marry?

2. Do I have a church home?

3. Do I have a relationship with GOD?

After answering yes to 2 out of 3 questions, he advised I 'passed' and asked if he could call me after work. Nice approach ... let's see how this goes. I will say I love how he asked if he could call after work instead of simply saying I will call. That, to me, shows he is mindful of my interest or lack there of. This was an extremely interesting experience for me as I've not been approached by a man in this manner EVER! There are still gentlemen in the world I see and though it was only an initial meeting in Walmart and his approach was absolutely flawless I know 1 thing for certain and 2 things for sure ... even the slickest slickster knows the Father and how to use his knowledge thereof to his benefit. I won't focus on that though, I will simply let GOD be the guide for anything beyond this meeting.

By the way, he was attractive! *smile* Stay tuned for the 1st call ...
