Dance with Me

I joined a group called Dallas Christian Singles.  They were a meet up group and met fun places and did fun things. One Saturday they went to Red River.  I love Red River.  I had gone there a few times.  I learned that when the band took a break they played the music that I love dancing to, so I was excited to go dance.  I have no problem getting out there and dancing by myself.   I don't really know how dance "country" but had fun.  I danced with him there.  He had on a blue shirt, a cowboy hat and had amazing blue eyes.  He was there with another group celebrating someone's birthday.  He emailed to make sure I got home okay.  That was it.  I saw him later at another meet up.  The meet up was at Dance With Me and they were learning how to country & western dance.  Eventually, there was a date. Actually, it was a date that almost wasn't.  I thought he was standing me up when he didn't show up to Ball's Hamburgers...we showed up at two different places. 
I am a changed person now.  I vowed to remain pure until I was married...if ever again.  That's something I thought needed to be out in the open in the beginning to be fair.  I wasn't looking to get married, nor was I looking for a hook up.  John had similar values.  We ALL learn from our past.  The conversation was great.  We sat there 6 hours and it felt like 15 minutes while they were cleaning up the restaurant, putting chairs on tables and mopping. 
Let me tell you one of the things that made him attractive to me.  He loved the Lord.  That simple.  My priorities had changed. 
The crap that I desired when I was young was no longer there.  There is a part of me that is a hopeless romantic...sweet gestures, holding hands.  But, the illusion of a man that loves me more than anything else was no longer appealing.  If He doesn't love the Lord, first and foremost, I wasn't interested.  Man, disappoints.  Not man as in males, but man as in you and me...especially me.
