Wow that does seem MAD awkward I bet y'all laugh about that encounter now...
So how did it go from that to him being your husband?
Yes, we laugh now. He is embarrassed by it and tries to play it off like he knew what he was doing. But, we laugh.
There was something so different about his approach. I could tell he was nervous and he wasn't trying to run game. He seemed nice. That is why I played along and didn't walk away even though I was confused. It probably helped that he is attractive. It was just weird to see a good looking man being so........goofy. You could just tell he didn't step to women that frequently.
Once his friend told him to stop leaving, we actually had a very good conversation. I liked him right away. I could tell he was nice and not "fake nice" but really a sweet guy.
He didn't play games at all. The next day we talked for a long time. He put his feelings out there really quickly. Looking back, it WAS kind of thirsty but he was just upfront with wanting to be in a committed relationship with me. We got married a year later.
He ended up moving away for a job during that year, and he wanted me to go with him. I told him he was crazy if he thought I was moving hundreds of miles for a boyfriend who could dump me at any time. On his next trip to visit, he asked my father for my hand in marriage.
From that awkward convo to that wedding was a year and a week. And no, I wasn't pregnant as some people assumed. He wanted to be with me, and I wasn't moving for a boyfriend so we didn't want a long engagement.
I'm glad he didn't write off all black women just because his previous experiences landed him in the friend zone. I understand why he got friend zoned a lot, but his personality appealed to me, and I saw him as more than a friend.
I love my husband very much, goofiness and all. I am not the only black woman in the world who would give a nervous guy a chance.
