Meet my one-of-a-kind. James. A "normal" enough guy on the outside. Tall, dark, handsome. Student of people. Loves to talk and wants good conversation.
- Button Pusher! Expertly so. Finds them and presses them feverishly.
- Bull in a China Shop! Comes rumbling in, displaces things in his path and then retreats.
- Air Freshener! A breath of fresh air in this polluted world in which we live.
- Bad Romance! Wants to be loved but is afraid that will interfere with his life plans.
- Cardiac Arrest! Big man with an even bigger heart, which resides on his sleeve.
- Insatiable Appetite! Plate is always full. Can't seem to clear anything but manages to pile on more constantly.
- Thrill Seeker! Roller coaster of a man. Ups & downs. Sharp turns. Well placed obstacles in the path to his heart. Job, career, money...just to name a few.
- Fire Fighter! Likes to play with fire. Likes to start them, fan them and then watch them burn. Damage control after the fact.
I like him. He's a good guy beneath that suit of armor. It's not as ironclad as he thinks. There are cracks in it. I can see them when he sits beside me and looks into my eyes.
I nicknamed him Superman. Man of steel, able to leap life's obstacles and short women in a single bound. He likes that moniker. Signs his emails to me with it.
I'm enjoying this ride with him. I think he knows I'm a good woman. He just has no room in his life right now for someone like me.
Let's hope at some point he'll take those blinders off and see what's right in front of him
Superman meets good woman.
End of story!
