Was on top of the world last night, as I've written about before there is a woman from church who I've developed a little crush on and have been debating if I should ask her to a concert next weekend. Was afriad it might be a little to bold of move and scare her off, like I've been known to do, and I just want to take things slow and let a good friendship develop.
The group is the Casting Crowns, and they are a Contemporary Christian group, and I know when you hear Christian you think ewwwwww BORING. And I used to think the same thing, but it's not like they sing old hymns like 'Amazing Grace' but more modern songs like a rock group, only the lyrics are towards God. Anyway, I've been wanting to see them and missed them when they were at Nutter Center in November and when I saw they were going to be in Cincinati on March 18th I got excited but the prospects of having someone to go with didn't look very good.
So anyway, I went to the church last night because on Wednesdays they serve dinner and then my small group meets. And I had in my mind, that I hoped she would be there and I would try and determine by her actions towards me if I should ask or not. Granted, and this is sad to say, I've never asked a woman out face to face. Well, I went in the room where everyone was eating and saw her at a table talking to some people and she said 'hi' but was in a conversation and I didn't want to interrupt so I went and waited in the lobby area. I knew she would be coming out soon and it would be a good sign if she stopped and talked to me. I was sitting on a bench, and a few minutes later she came out and over to me!
The kids/youth of the church are doing a 30 hour famine this weekend, and her daughter is participating (who I think is in the 5th grade) and she asked if anyone has asked me to donate to the cause and sponsor someone. I said they hadn't, and I couldn't turn her down so I gave her some money.
We talked a little, she said she had watched the childrens sermon I did a couple weeks ago that her daughter particpated in on the local cable channel and had her parents watch it. I didn't know I was on TV.And she was getting ready to go, so it was the moment of truth...now or never for me to take the bold step, and I almost backed out but she did come over to talk to me so I went for it.
I asked if she liked the Casting Crowns, and she said "Yes, I went to see them at the Nutter Center."
So my hopes went down a little, she wouldn't want to see them again since that concert was just in October but then she said, "I went with my friend and I was mad because she wanted to leave before it was over and I didn't get to hear 'Who Am I?' (Which is their hit song) So my spirits raised a little.
And I said, "Well, they are going to be in Cincati next Saturday, I want to go but don't have anybody to go with."
I laid myself out there, what would she do?
She thought for a moment. "I think I'm free that night, I should be able to go."
YESSSS!!!!! It was a miracle!!!!!
And it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be.
It isn't a sure thing yet thogh, she took my number and said she'd check her schedule to make sure and let me know. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and even if she doesn't go, at least she considered it and I know that I'm not totally apalling to people.
Just working on keeping myself in check, not to blow it out of proportion and set myself up for a fall.
If it all works out, it will be a night that I've dreamed of and for a change it will be nice to have one come true.
