I enrolled in the church's 2-year leadership course, which is composed of 4 levels, or 4 semesters every half-year. Josie's mother is in my level, however, she goes on Thursdays, while I go on Saturdays. It so happened that Josie's mother had to make up a class for Thursday, which she couldn't attend, so she showed up yesterday morning.
She sat next to me. We had a very nice conversation about Ecuadorian cuisine. She's from Guayaquil, Ecuador. She was very loving to me. I was very attentive to her, being that I'm tremendously infatuated and interested in her daughter. In fact, when she left she gave me a kiss on the cheek and said, "bye my love". That's the good news, that I have developed an initial friendship with the mother, and I mentioned in passing that I switched to Saturday classes from Thursdays because AJ (my son) could stay at his mom's home that day. I don't know if Josie's mom got the "AJ mom's home" reference that we're not together. I should've emphasized it more.
Now the bad news. Josie's estimated age is in no way past 27, and most likely 23 to 26, my original estimate. How so? Well, it so happens that Josie's mom has been in this country for about 7 to 10 years. Being that the first time I talked to Josie, she asked me if we went to high school together (I'm 35 years old, but I look a lot younger), Josie had to be at most, 17, and more likely from 15 to 17, when she came to this country. Add 7 to 10 years, and voila!, you have an estimated age of 23 to 26.
Woe is me. I am undone. I put so much hope in a relationship with Josie, that I don't even want to let go of the fantasy. In a way I'd just rather continue hoping, praying and dreaming of a miracle. The horrible thing is, that in my desperation to not get a "no", I won't even approach her for friendship.
