Was Jesus "cute"?
Trying to get work done at Starbucks sometimes backfires on me, but I must say...I've never seen a man make such a speedy exit after hitting on me/trying to ask me out. The Lord knew I needed a good laugh this morning.
After sitting down and introducing himself, Mr. Military Dude wasted no time in asking plenty of questions that I attempted to answer with minimal detail and maximum politeness. Upon finding out how old I am (and that I wasn't looking for a date), he assured ...me that I'm a "baby" and have plenty of time before I need to worry about getting serious with anyone (oh, phew..haha). He said, and I quote: "All you need to focus on right now is going to a bar, getting drunk and meeting lots of people."
At this point I couldn't help but break down and laugh out loud; honestly folks, how could I not? The only thing I found remotely relatable in that sentence was the "meeting lots of people" part; I do love meeting people.
When faced with my unabashed amusement at this piece of advice, this gent quickly followed up with "I know, I know, you're not a party girl...but really. All you need to do right now is focus on cute guys."
To which I very seriously responded, "Actually I'm just focusing on one guy right now. Jesus.
He's the only man that never has, and never will, let me down."
*cue dude mentally fumbling for a way to exit this convo ASAP*
Him: "Ha, that's a good idea too! I mean, he was cute, right?"
Me: "Uhm, well I don't know, I never actually saw him in person...he was Jewish so I imagine he was a swarthy fellow..."
Him: "Well I'm not Jewish but I look Jewish, ya know I have the big nose, and I think I'm kinda cute-looking...."
Me: "Haha.................yeah...haha...."
He jumped up, shook my hand again and told me it was nice meeting me. His parting advice to me was to "stay out of trouble" before he turned and high-tailed it out of there.
Jesus: 1
Mr. Military Dude: 0
Guys, I couldn't help it. As the door closed behind him I buried my face in my hands and dissolved into laughter all over again, while simultaneously praying that the Lord please go after that man; he needs Jesus too!
