Where did you meet dh or so? We work right down the street from each other. One day he went to lunch later than normal. That same day I went to lunch later than normal and by chance we past each other as he walked out of the coffee shop with his newspaper. I thought to myself "Dang, who was that fine tall black brotha dressed in a suit!!" As I turned around, so did he and we smiled. I said to myself "okay, I don't chase after men but I will give this man an opportunity to step up to me and ask me out." So, I stopped at a store window because I saw him out the corner of my eye following me on the other side of the mall. Then, we got lost in the crowd. After 5 minutes I headed back to work thinking ... "it was just not meant to be!" .... next thing I know I hear "EXCUSE ME MISS!" I turn around and it's that find brotha .... "he was sitting at a table, he got up and left his coffee and newspaper and said "I THOUGHT I LOST YOU." I told him I was on my way back to work and he said "MAY I WALK WITH YOU BACK TO YOUR JOB SO WE CAN GET A CHANCE TO TALK." This brotha was fine .... tall, black dressed in a suit!!!! I said "sure" ... we exchanged work numbers and have been going to lunch together ever since we met in 1999.
