MARSHA
I can’t believe a man hasn’t snapped you up yet, Marsha,” my best
work friend, Helen, says as she unboxes her lunch and unfolds her
napkin.
I roll my eyes, but I smile anyway. “Maybe I’m too much of a handful for
them.”
Helen chuckles. “Or maybe they don’t appreciate a strong, independent
woman who has standards and knows what she wants.”
“That’s nice of you to say, but I’m okay with not dating right now.”
Helen gives me the side eye as she picks up her sandwich. “You say that,
but I don’t believe it’s true. We’ve got a veritable stream of handsome single
men coming through the school with their children. Why not date one of
them?”
“Oh, no,” I say, holding up my hands and leaning back in my seat. “I don’t
think so. You know my rule – no dating single fathers. I don’t want a man
with the baggage of an ex-wife or a widow. And I’m not sure I want to date
a man with a child. I’ve seen friends try to navigate that, and it never seems
to go well. I don’t think I have the stamina for it.”
“You’ve got a fair point about the excess baggage,” Helen says with a nod.
“I still think you should give some of these men a chance. I bet there’s a
diamond in the rough out there. You can always find enough good qualities
in a person to make up for bad habits or things that aren’t ideal. Just this
morning, I saw a father dropping off his daughter. No wedding ring, but he
looked like he could be a model, especially dressed in the sharp suit he was
wearing.”
I laugh and shake my head. “I don’t think a man like that is going to be
interested in me. I’m not sure I’d be interested in a man like that.”
“Then who would you be interested in, Marsha?” Helen narrows her eyes.
I know I’ve given away that I’ve actually considered this, even though I say
I won’t. “I’m not sure, but certainly not someone who thinks everything has
to be perfect. I’d love a man who works with his hands. There’s something
pure and honest about work like that.”
Helen arches an eyebrow. “Well, there are plenty of blue-collar men here in
Jefferson. I bet my Victor knows someone he could introduce you to.”
“No!” I exclaim. “No offense, but blind dates don’t work for me. Men see I
have,” I gesture down at my large breasts and wide hips, “and they
immediately tune out. Either that or they think I’m easy and can just use me
and toss me aside.”
“Pssh. They’re fools if you ask me. Real men like a little meat on their
ladies.” Helen shakes her head at this like she doesn’t believe me. I love
that she thinks it would be so easy for me to find a man to love and let into
my life, but I don’t think she understands the reality of dating these days.
“If I can find a single dad like that, I’d consider it,” I concede. I’m not sure
