Crazed Woman on a Mission (My Husband, Part 4)

I became a crazed WOMAN on a MISSION. Me...invisible? Ha! No longer! I was determined to get this guy's attention no matter how shy he was.

I walked over to his table and offered to buy his meal with 'my card'. It said "give Christ-CHARGE of your life" and it looked like a Master-Charge credit card. He smiled and quietly said, "I don't think that will work."

Apparently my tactics were the things that 'didn't work'. I wasn't giving up though.

He lived out of state but every weekend he came back to town where he attended church with his family, which was also my church. I was attending a discipleship class and among the books in required study was a 'dating and waiting for marriage' book.

After service one morning, I walked up to him as he was getting in his truck. I offered him the 'dating and waiting for marriage' book and said, "Would you like to buy this book? With it, you get the date of your choice."  Oh, YES! I REALLY DID say that!!!

His reply? "Uh. No thanks." Oh, yes, that's exactly what he said in return!

I walked to my car with the friend who worked at the Italian restaurant. I told her I didn't know what came over me, as that was REALLY out of character for me. She consoled me. I felt like a total fool, and for good reason. I threw myself at this man and was rejected. Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained I thought.

Funny thing though, he began showing up at the Italian restaurant more often to see his cousin. Of course I was visiting my friend and was there just as often.

Hmmmm...curious as to what happens next? Oh yeah...it gets even better!
