My new friend

One of the first people I encountered at my hotel was a very sweet hotel employee. He met me with kindness even though I looked like a drenched cat and dripped rain all over the lobby's tile floors. There was chemistry from the start. For me, it was his big smile and optimism.

Once I dumped my bag in my room and dried off, I popped back downstairs to find out the best, most fun restaurants and bars in the area. He gave me a long list of both and I tried many of them during my stay. They were all good suggestions.

It turned out that grey and rainy day was his birthday and he was still happy in spite of having to work. Throughout my stay we talked about our days - before and after each happened. He always met me with that bright glow and listened with interest. 

On my last full day, we did something he's not supposed to do. We made plans to go out. He wanted to show me some places I hadn't yet seen. He drove me to a beautiful beach where we sat and talked and watched the tide come in. Then we went to a long strip of beachside bars. They all had big patios and lively Latin music.

He showered me with compliments. He liked my eyes, my body, my clothes, my life. He was shocked my ex would be so mean and drive me away. He's attractive, works very hard, and loves life and music. He's recorded eight tracks for a cd that he played a sample of for me. I was impressed. They were fun hip hop songs with a great Latin dance beat. I hope he's able to do what he wants with his music. 

I couldn't have asked for a better last night. 

Love to the single girls,
