Alex

After being called to be Elder's Quorum President, I helped coordinate a service project for Alex, a single mother of 2, who had recently divorced Eloy Sanchez. They had been separated for a few years though.
I kinda fancied her and started talking to her after the service project. We had good conversation and London hit it off with her girls. They invited London to the movies later that week, to which she ended up going. So by that point Alex and I had started texting a bit. The next time we went over to continue with the service project, I brought London and the girls played again, then when it was time to leave, I asked if they had had dinner. They hadn't so I offered to order pizza for all of us to test the waters to see if she'd be interested in me enough to let me buy her and her kids dinner and then sit down with me. She agreed to it and I was in.

That was 2 months ago. Since then, we've really hit it off. The romantic chemistry is there and we have important things in common like standards, family backgrounds, our kids get along, we both speak Spanish.

The big snag in this deal, though, is that she's trying to move to Texas to get away from her ex (stupid Eloy), to make more money down there, to be closer to her sister, and to run away from some sin that she'd rather confess somewhere where she doesn't know anyone. She's been to a court hearing already and the judge will make his final decision on whether she can relocate or not in a week or two. In the meantime, I've been the supportive boyfriend without the title. It's been said that if she stays, we'd probably get married. But I'm not so sure right now... I've copied and pasted the following from a conversation I was having with Brandon and Olga about the last date Alex and I went on.

We had planned a long day together coz we both had the day off and no kids.
I had a pretty awesome "day date" planned in Seattle (cool hike, good food, museum).

But last night she asks me if I'm taking London to the open house 6-7. I told her Mary was taking her and she told me she needed to be back for that.😑 So that screws everything up. Suddenly it doesn't make any sense to drive that far to do only one thing.

So we settle for doing a hike that's closer to home and we'd still have a decent day, whatever.

We agreed that I'd pick her up at 9am. At 10 til I text her and she was still in bed like "oh sh*t I slept in!" 😑😑
We don't leave until 10.
We had planned to go out for breakfast before heading out to the hike and as we get in the car she's like, "I'm not hungry. You can eat though." 😑😑😑
Ok... so I guess I'll just have a bagel at Starbucks real quick... We get there and I park and she's like "Why don't we go through the drive through?"
"Coz I gotta drive and I can't put cream cheese on my bagel and drive."
Going inside somehow peeved her, even though we were supposed to have been going to BOB's or something and having a proper meal together. 😑😑😑😑
So we head out to the hike and I'm just in a mood at this point.
And she's acting weird too. Conversation kinda sucks.
We get there and there's no hike. The parking lot is right there next to the waterfall. But we explore a little and we see that there are trails that lead to the mouth of the waterfall but they take you along the edge of the cliff. She's refused to do that, which I can understand coz it did look sketchy but I would have done it.
So we wander around and figure out that there's an easy trail that takes you down to the water and she's totally up for that. Great!
But as we're headed down there, a guy who's coming the other way on that trail says, "Be careful over by those rocks. There's a rattlesnake."
(Now, there are signs everywhere that say "Warning! Rattlesnakes!" But we figure of course there is; it's the desert.)
So I laugh at his remark thinking he's making a joke and it turned out he was serious. And guess who's terrified of snakes? Yup!
There's no way she's taking another step. So, we turn back and we do nothing cool. 😑😑😑😑😑
We get back to the car and now I'm really in a mood, though trying not to show it. We drive all the way home and she just wants to talk about her family, not her immediate family, like her uncle and her sister in law and their relatives and "Oh what's her son's name?"
I DONT CARE.
😑😑😑😑😑😑
We get back to ML and she's finally hungry and we have a good lunch and then we go back to her place and take a nap (for real, not sex) and then we each left separately to the open house and I made no suggestion about getting back together afterward.

It was a pretty rough date. And her excuse for the bad conversation in the car was "I didn't sleep well and I'm just sort of blah today."
Then make an effort, lady. We're on a freakin date.
😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
