Because she is worth it...

My friend S has a date tonight.

She is taking my dad's advice and is playing the field and he would be very proud of her.

Sick and tired of waiting for her man to get his act together she has been asked out on a date with a nice fella who wants to treat her right.

We are sitting round our other friend J's house, drinking wine in order to stop her nerves and watching her get ready for the night out.

She is getting a tad anxious about it, which suggests that this guy could be worth getting anxious about and at one point she put her new boots on still with stickers on the bottom.

"For gods sake woman, take the stickers off!" Says my friend J in horror.
"I can't," she says, "I am too nervous."
She throws a boot each to us and we rapidly dispense of the yellow stickers on the bottom.
"What does it matter anyway, he isn't gonna be looking at my shoes." She says.
"He will be if they are up around his neck," says J.
S groans...she is getting more nervous, while rapidly ironing her blouse and applying her lipstick.

Her telephone is going off every two minutes as well...from the other guy that she has been seeing...you remember, the one who can't sort it out.
"It is as if he knows," she says.

Now don't get me wrong, she is not doing anything naughty here. The other man in her life has mucked her about, made no commitment to her and constantly lets her down in so many ways. Which is why she has taken such drastic action.

I am quite in awe of her bravery and independence.

S is gorgeous and deserves to be treated like a princess.  I hope that the new guy blows her away, and that the other guy realises what he has lost.

The good ones don't wait forever...and S is amazing and deserves everything special that will come her way.
