Hook, line.. not quite yet sinker..

Hello Blog, from a quiet, peaceful dorpie!

The work is rolling, the sun is shining and life is GRAND! There’s a fresh loaf of home-made bread baking in the oven (I am on a store-bought bread strike), and the smell is just divine!

Good things have been happening in my life since I moved out here and I am the happiest I have been in a long time.. There have been many adventures and new people and new friends and new clients, and way too much drinking! It would seem that the folks around these parts have nothing better to do with themselves but consume VAST amounts of alcohol. A lot. All the time. But fear not because there’s a Lost and Found bin in the centre of town where one can go and collect one’s name when the hangover goes away!

And then of course there’s been the internet dating thing thats been going on… So there were 5 guys… One ran screaming, one turned out to be a really nice guy who I haven’t really spoken to again since the first meeting with the 3 kids in tow. Oi! One who was declaring his undying love via IM before we’d even met (SCARY), and then getting narfy with me when I laughed at him (RUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!). Then there’s the Doctor who I really like. We compare Boer Soek ‘n Vrou notes every Monday morning and he is very sweet. And the 5th one I blew off before it even had a chance..

And just as well I did all that because the unthinkable has happened. I met a real-life, in-the-flesh, non-internet man and I cannot believe how amazing this form of dating is. Why hasn’t anyone told me about this before? You should all give it a go! :)

So there I was, trying to find a man to practice the eye-lash batting, cleavage showing helpless girl theory on, and there he was. So I put the moves into action and he is becoming a bit of a permanent fixture in my life. He loves the kids and they love him. He is not afraid to tell me to sit down and take a load off while he makes me tea and is genuinely a really nice guy! A “regte”, “egte”, thoroughbred, local boer seun!! Which is exactly what I asked for (OK come on people, I entered Boer Soek ‘n Vrou.. The universe was listening!).

Now if only the universe had listened to the bit where I said “hairless chest”, we’d be styling! Oh well, can’t win them all I guess. ;) OK, jokes aside this man is amazing. Respectful, and patient and strong and solid and reliable and dependable. He remembers things he has said he would do, even if there was alcohol involved at the time of saying, and he actually follows through… It’s like a breathe of fresh air having him around and I, for one, hope he sticks around for a bit.

Real-life – 1, internet – 0!!!! Yeeehhhaaaaa!!!!

Thank you, thank you very much!

*sigh*

    Amen! I am also very intrigued by this “real, live people” thing. I had no idea they existed.

    Glad you’re so happy!
