Only A Dream

As a little girl I dreamed of marrying a professional football player. They invoke a protective quality I missed out on because of my relationship with my father. Last month I believed I was on the way to having my dream come true.

When I went for dinner and drinks with my cousin, we were approached by a security guard who said this football player wanted to meet me. I was excited and quickly obliged the request. That week we spent hours together going to lunch, dinner, a bar, and even a walk in the park.

The night before he left town I spent the night with him. He was a complete gentleman, and I remained a lady at all times so nothing happened. The next day he asked if I would visit him, and I said sure. Later that evening he asked me to meet him at the airport.

I could not because of a family function, but I asked him to let me know if he got home safe. That was the last conversation we had. He has not called, e-mailed, or even sent a text message. Did I take the friendly gestures as meaning too much, or should I accept it for what it's worth?

Stephanie, he behaved like a complete gentleman, but perhaps he wasn't looking for a lady. Remaining a lady allows you to keep this encounter as a pleasant memory.
