For many years I’ve had a lot of lady friends. I just felt comfortable being friends with ladies. I used to be shy then one day I just got more social and overcame my fear of talking to women and became friends with them. I’ve mentioned before some of the ones I’ve been friends with but there was always one that stood out over these past 5 years and that is Magdalena. I used to work in a building where she was the leasing manager and I went to her office one day to ask her a question but we quickly hit it off as friends. She's married with 2 daughters so obviously I had no intention to flirt with her or have a secret crush on her of any kind. Besides I don’t get involved romantically with married women. We just very much enjoyed each other’s company. Every chance I got to stop by her office I did and we talked about life and such. She was always supporting me with my financial, health or love life. I tell her of the crushes I’ve had too. She was very easy to talk to and a good listener. I’ll tell you something VERY crazy that happened between us though. One time, I invited her to come with me to the gym to exercise to hang out in a way but when she told her husband he didn’t like it but guess what? Magdalena went to the gym with me anyways without her husband’s consent! Yes I was surprised by that too. When I ask her about it she said that she already felt committed to going to the gym with me and since she knows we are just good friends she felt safe going with me. And yes we went to the gym and worked out and it was fun. That fact that she still went to the gym with me though speaks volumes I like to think. But there were times were her husband didn’t want her to speak to me anymore because you know how jealous guys get but we were just friends that’s it nothing else and she thought it was wrong to stop a friendship if we weren’t even flirting with each other so she continued to talk to me. She got me closer to god and gave me always advice on life. She is what I consider a true lady friend. Sadly, she moved away and I can’t call her but every now and then my sister who Magdalena is her realtor would say Magdalena asked about me. The thing is, I’ve been stuck in the friend zone for so long I’m ready to step out of it. I’m ready to turn lady friends into girlfriends. I know I still have much to learn but I want to approach women with a romantic intention instead of just a nice guy. But need to work on getting the message across in a conversation on a lady I might find attractive. But yes, if I’m here is to better my dating life and my goal is to start the new year with a girlfriend. Time to take action! 🙌🏻
