Prego
There is this guy. He is from my church. He invited me to play football in the afternoon with his friends. Wow. I haven’t played football in years… then we went to dinner. And we talked. I don’t know that I’ve ever had a more brutally honest encounter or discussion with someone of the opposite sex before that I barely even know… I didn’t really know the ground rules. And I thought football was going to be the problem.
Out of nowhere, he shares his entire dating past with me… which literally led up until a few weeks ago…when he “hooked up� with a girl …who had and currently does still have a boyfriend… and now is pregnant. However, she does not know for certain whom the father may be.
So, what the hell am I supposed to think?
This guy goes to church…identifies himself as and calls himself a Christian. And Christians have this thing where they’re supposed to confess to each other and keep each other accountable. I think I’m going to write off his and my little conversation as being just that—a way to be kept in check without being called a “bad personâ€? or …whatever…?
I don’t effing know wtf to think. Then he said that since he just opened up to me, that it was my turn to share. So share I did…the short versions with discretion of course.
I’m having flashbacks to Hometown guy’s facebook message about only being able to meet women who have kids, are pregnant or divorced… am I getting to the point where every potential guy I meet will inevitably have more baggage than I do?

Sheesh, that’s a bit weird. Personally, if anyone said to me, “I shared so now you have to share” I would tell him/her I don’t have to do anything. Pfft.
Otherwise, everyone has baggage. It’s meeting the guys that handle theirs well that’s the tricky part.
