Once upon a time I saw from across the room, a man like no other man I had ever seen before. This man was adorably handsome. He appeared to be a home grown kind of man who has spent plenty of time on a farm. He smiled and my heart fell, and then.....he sang. It was too good to be true, a beautiful man who could also sing? I smiled at this man and wished that he would acknowledge my presence for over a year and a half. He frequented my favorite karaoke bar.
On one occasion my sister came to town to see a show I was in, and we went out to celebrate after. We went to a whole in the wall bar which is called Hawgs and Dogs. This is not a hot dog eatery, but a biker bar. This is the first biker bar I have ever been to, but it will not be the last. This bar contains a huge mixed bag of people, and they have Karaoke two nights a week. Anyway my sister and I stopped in on karoke night, and my not so imaginary boyfriend was there. In my drunken state I told my sister that he was my boyfriend in my mind, and we both giggled about how hot he was.
My sister decided that she should take it upon herself to set him up with me, although she clearly wanted to steal him all for herself. Well it took me a few minutes to realize that there was my sister standing across the room talking to my boyfriend! I immediately had liquid courage and ran over to them. I said "Im sorry about my sister", and shoved her out of the way. I then proceeded to say to him "You don't know this, but in my mind you have been my boyfriend for almost two years, and you didn't even know it." I was afraid of what my sister had been saying to the man, and apparently she had only been there long enough to say "Do you see that girl over there? (Pointing to me)" and he replied " Elaina? Yeah I know her." I lost it when my sister told me that my boyfriend actually knew who I was. The conversation he and I had ended with me excusing myself to pee.
Later down the road, my boyfriend started casually coming over and saying hello to me. He talked a lot to a friend of mine, who he told that he didn't like the fact that girls these days are only after sex. He gave her a lecture about how no one has values any more. This information was key to my future conversations with my boyfriend. We had been talking about our futures and past relationships, and I was sure to mention at some point that I thought sex was a special thing shared between two special people, and then one night he asked for my number, not to take me out or anything, it was for some stupid reason that I can't recall.
Then one night near the end of my stay in Columbia my boyfriend talked to me all night at karaoke, and he actually did it! He asked me over to his home to "cuddle". Nothing more he promised me, which I have heard from other men before, and turned out to be false. Normally that really pisses me off, but this time I was thrilled at the thought that this gentleman, by saying "cuddle", really meant Lets Get it ON!
So of course I coyly agreed to venture to his home, where we made out all night long. Things got pretty heated and I am sad to say that I denied him further access to my vagina. I don't know what I was thinking, I just said "We shouldn't". He immediatly agreed and said that he was glad I didn't want to....does this mean he could possibly be, no I can't even say it, because that would justify my thoughts that all the hot ones are gay. I will say that I think although I was a bit intoxicated, I think that I realized that his package that he was going to give me was a small one. Some say good things come in small packages and I tend to agree, most of the time. Its a good thing I didn't let things go any further. This way my idea of him being the perfect man, will not be broken.
I left the his home the next morning and two days later I graduated college and left Columbia. I just want to say, that I am displeased with myself for not having the balls I needed to pursue him sooner. He might have ACTUALLY became my boyfriend. Doubtful because no one wants to jump on THIS train, but anything is possible.

Always go with your gut, and make a move for the guy who makes your heart go pitter pat.

If a woman seems interested, a little mystery will keep her on the line for a while, but don't wait TOO long.
