When I came across Roger, I had no clue it would be the first man I would meet from the internet. Another first! I was hanging out in the TEXAS LADIES Chat Room on AOL.
Roger Im’d me asking where I lived. He grew up in Colorado but had ended up in Texas. Roger was a construction foreman for a Dallas Company. He built apartment buildings. He would go oversee a project in a city and live there until it was finished. When we met he was living in Oklahoma City.
Roger had been divorced for years, but not dated much. I didn’t know back then that a man’s dating pattern was a HUGE influence on how he would interact with me. We did the usual talk by emails, IM’s, and finally on the phone. Roger was Hispanic and thus had an accent, which I loved. He spoke and wrote fluent Spanish. When he spoke in Spanish, it was beautiful.
Roger talked about meeting for dinner. He suggested time after time to get together but something always came up. This went on for about 3 months prior to our first meeting in December. I had written him off, but he kept contacting me. It was easy to like him.
Finally during the first weekend of December, we agreed to meet. The meeting was in a city was about 2 hrs away. I went into the city for the day to shop and have dinner with Roger. We met at a great Mexican food place. Raymond was dressed in starched wranglers and button down shirt. He looked good. Dinner was great, we talked away. After dinner, we moved to a bar nearby to talk and have drinks about 9:30 pm. Well, things were never the same. We couldn’t talk or connect, he got very quite. It was a whole mood change. Everything went to “hell in handbag” with me wondering did I say something earlier? After an hour of that, I said I had to leave to drive back home. Done….goodbyes.
About 2 weeks after that weird ending date, Roger emailed me. He told me liked me very much but just couldn’t date. He was used to being on his own and living where ever that sent him. Go figure…..
