The Realities of Miss Bethie

Weekend full of weddings

Beamer called. He was on his way from a wedding at Busch Stadium (where the groom and groomsmen wore Cardinal red jerseys, the bride wore a white jersey and the bridesmaids wore pink jerseys) to the reception. He has another wedding tomorrow. He'll call me during the week.

Okay, I know he is busy, and I am totally cool with that. But, it seems to me, if he liked me as much as he acts like he does when we are together, wouldn't he have called me during the week?

Or is this just one of those cases where the guy's perspective and the girl's perspective are totally different?

  • It can be a number of things. It can be that he really does like you and just doesn't have the time to call. Or that he really does like you and would like to call you more but is afraid that he would be to pushy. Or it can be that he likes you but he doesn't realize how much, just yet, and is just feeling it out. Or...you may not want to hear this one..he doesn't know if he likes you yet and makes the once a week phone call to keep you within reach.
    I guess none of us really knows.
    But, I think he would be crazy to not think you were the greatest thing that came into his life.
    He may be scarred to get too involved because of the ex.
    One day at a time...that is all you can do.
    Don't you just love my honesty?

  • I do love your honesty, and that is the reason I post here.

    When we are together there is no doubt in my mind that he likes me. Which makes me think he is either wigged out about getting into another relationship, or just being very, very cautious. I can live with either of those. Leading me on until something better comes, that I can't live with.

    He's very busy, and very social, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. And we are certainly not at the point in this thing to take me to a wedding...especially the wedding of a family member. But I believe that next weekend, which already booked for me anyway, he has friends in town, so I know once again he won't have time to get together.

    And this week he has to call me.

  • My Friend Beth

    I first met Beth when she was a freshman in college, dating my very fortunate brother. She was 18, beautiful, smart, and was going to change the world. She was passionate, strong-willed, ethical, compassionate and funny.

    I have now known Beth almost half her life, and while my dream of her becoming my sister-in-law, and mother of numerous mop-headed nieces and nephews has died, my opinion of her has not.

    Those of you who know my dear comrade see that while she has matured as a person, she still has all of the same qualities I hold so dear.

    In a world full of crazies, Beth is basically just slightly neurotic. I had wondered where that came from, because it was not a trait I had ever seen in our youth. Then she bravely shared the story of her attack. I had no clue, and she didn't tell my brother, whom she always has confided in, either.

    Again, with grace and dignity she dealt with the situation and was more concerned with protecting her loved ones and remaining a strong female figure than herself.

    She doesn't even know, she has changed the world, for the better. Her passion and idealism have sometimes prevented me from becoming a cynic, and she remains beautiful and smart, despite her body issues.

    My wish for her is that she finds the man who is worthy of her and cherishes her as much as her friends do. I hope that this Beamer character comes through for her, and he is the Prince Charming she has so wisely held out for.

    If he is not, I know he will be here for her soon. She has always given the best of herself to her students, family, friends, the children she meets through all of her charitable work, and even strangers who need a boost.

    Miss Bethie, to quote your oft-stated, ultimate compliment, YOU ROCK!!!

    Hang in there, my sweet. The best(and most deserved) is yet to come.

    Darren
