Mels' Version of Meeting a Wonderful Man
I find myself in #beginners on Chatnet just watching people chat. Sometimes I say hello, sometimes I just watch. Sometimes I get into some really interesting, crazy, uhhhhmmmm uhhhh strange chats. Well... somewhere around my birthday I was there. Feeling a little pitiful that day... sorry for myself... thinking about spending my birthday working... (i work nights) also working Christmas Eve and New Years Eve... PLUS! My son Dustin was going to be away with his father for Christmas so not only was I working but going to be so lonely!!! Well, I say hello to "DaRk-DuDe"... chatted with him before... he always seemed nice, always polite and sweet... I say "Hi DD" and he says "Hi"... then I ask how he was. blah blah blah..omg i got that from him! lol anyway. He said "OK". Now for some reason I felt that DD was a little down... so I inquired "Just OK?" Well that is when this wild, crazy, (what I thought adventure at the time) oh so wonderful, God I love him, luvvvvvv connection began. Ok so our versions match mostly... For me though it was an adventure, in the beginning. Some way to liven up my life. A way to get through the holiday season without being lonely. Well... little did I know my "adventure" turned into much more than that.
From the time I decided to go, DD or Freddie and I began to chat more, sending messages, emails and even phone calls. OMG! You should have seen the flowers he sent me!!!! hehe ask him about what I sent him... Little did I know... dang he is such a sweetie. Before I left for North Carolina... through the messages, emails and phone calls I had this feeling. Felt like I cared for him, felt some love, it's crazy i thought... lol my friends here thought i was a little crazy too! Thought I would be chopped up in millions of small pieces and shipped back to Oklahoma via UPS. LOL really they did! Well I didnt think so... And I wasnt!!!! No on my trip something much more happened... I found a sweet sweet man. Someone who I can adore for the rest of my life! I had some perception of "DaRk-DuDe" from watching and participating in beginners... I thought him to be a mysterious person... one with all the women... one that played around had fun and didnt really care. Never thought that we would be for each other... hell, never thought he would even care what happened to me once i left NC and went home. But when I got there guess what??? The perceptions were all wrong! I found a caring, loving, sweet man. Someone that I had feelings for before ever meeting him in person... but in real life after meeting him... I found myself feeling that same way. (Sorry to ruin his reputation and disolve some of the perceptions of "DaRk-DuDe") but... Freddie.... omg I love him and the trip for adventure turned out to be such a good thing. For one of the craziest things I have ever done in my life (trip to meet) it turned out to be one of the best things I have ever done in my life. And the loneliness I was feeling... NOT THERE ANYMORE. Freddie has changed all of that... I did work my Birthday and Christmas Eve and Dustin was gone for Christmas... but you know what???? I wasnt alone really. I had my love Freddie. :)
I was nervous coming off that plane on December 31, 1998 but that nervousness soon desolved into happiness. I had nothing but fun with Freddie... watching TV, going to a movie... hehe we had the whole theater to ourselves!!! (OH! and dont believe him when he says he can play pool "a little"... he smeared me bad! lol and let me win.) I learned that feelings found on the net are and can be real in the real world. My gosh... I cried when I left and didnt stop till I was 30,000 feet in the air. Even got my AT&T calling card numbers stolen from the Atlanta airport calling Freddie to cry some more. Calls from Egypt! lol so everyone be careful! OK OK so...
Now... I just can't wait to see what the future brings. At this point I feel it brings nothin but happiness with the sweetest man in the world... Frederick Gene Murphy.
