Speaker 1 (00:24):
Thank you, nephew. Subject, am I dating Cinderella? Dear Stephen Shirley.
When I met my new friend, it was like a
fairytale romance. I'm twenty eight and he's thirty five and
perfect for me because I prayed for an older man
but not too old. He has a photography studio and
I booked him for a Christmas photo shoot for me
and my daughter. After the photo shoot, he asked me
(00:47):
to have dinner with him, so my daughter and I
went to dinner with him. After that, he planned dinner
dates with us every night that week. I couldn't wait
for my daughter to go to her dad's later that
week so I could spend quality time with my new friend.
He had kept telling me how good he was in bed,
and I couldn't wait to see It. Was supposed to
go down at his house, but it was raining really badly,
(01:10):
so he came over to my house. We didn't waste
time talking. We went straight to bed. He had exaggerated
a little bit on his skill level, but it was
still good for an older man. Since the weather was bad,
I thought he would spend the night. He didn't. He
got up around eleven thirty and got dressed quickly, like
(01:31):
he was late for work or something. I told him
to call me when he got home, but I didn't
hear from him until the next day. He said he
missed me, and he asked if he could see me.
I said we could meet for dinner. He said he
wanted to pick up food and eat at my house instead.
We ate, then we had sex, and then he told
me that he needed to be home by midnight. I
(01:52):
told him that it was not cute to have sex
and run out. He apologized, but said he really had
to go. He has done this four times. I wonder
what's so significant about midnight. He told me to chill
and learn to live in the moment. What's up with
this man. Am I dating Cinderella? No, not Cinderella or Cindefella,
(02:13):
none of those. He's just married, that's all. I mean,
you're his sigh piece, and he has to do you
then make sure he's home before his wife gets in.
That's his curfew, that's all. He's pretty much told you
that when he said he had to get home by midnight.
Except why didn't you ask him why? Right then? And there?
(02:34):
Are you afraid to ask him these important questions? You
need to know this. You can't be scared. That's something
you definitely need to know because you are clearly not
reading between the lines here. Has that not crossed your mind,
not even once? That he could be married. That's why
he's racing home and doing all this stuff eating at
your house. I mean, the clues are there. You want
(02:55):
to go out, he wants food, to bring it to
the house so he won't get caught being out with
you or something. Please ask him these questions so you
can get the answers you need and move on with
your life.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Steve, Well, have you ever read a letter in with
because I mean surely answered to the letter really adequately.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I mean, it's just it's glaringly obvious to everybody that
has heard this letter what the situation is.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Some people you have to slow welcome through information because
a lot of times you want you want to believe
for your heart's sake.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And I get it, I get it.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You want to believe for your heart's sake, so you
shut your brain off from doing what it's supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And that's like think.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
A person's brain is designed to think, to absorb information
to learn. Obviously, you don't want to absorb no information
because you don't want.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
To learn the facts. Here.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
So there's nothing we can do to help you. But
here we go. I met my new friend. It was
like a fairy tale romance. See that's all she wanted.
She wants a fairy tale romance. See just listen to
this letter, y'all. I met my new friend. It was
like a fairy tale romance. Okay, she's been wanting that
since a little girl. He's twenty eight and thirty five
(04:25):
and perfect for me because I prayed for a older man. Okay,
so now as soon as you meet an older man,
you immediately begin your fairy tale romance.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Now, if you twenty eight and he thirty five, I
don't want to break this two news to you.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
But that ain't really no older man. That's just another dude.
Because women and men mature differently. Women is a known fact.
This is not me talking. Women mature more quickly and
rapidly than men because they have to, because somewhere in
their teenage years they start fiers in these little girl moments.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
That has to grow them up a little bit quicker.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
They have to start working around a certain time and
all this hit and they had to prepare theirself, so
they mature quicker than boys, and they have to think
about what they're doing and what happens, and you know,
reproduction and the boys were just done for a long time.
So he's got a photography studio. In that studio, you
booked for a Christmas photo shoot, you and your daughter.
After the photo shoot, they asked you and your daughter
(05:25):
to dinner. They went, and after that, he's playing dinner
day for us every night that week.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Ain't that nice? This is a fairy tale room. And
he loves you and the baby.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
So I couldn't wait for my daughter to go to
her dad's later that week. So I could spend some
quality time with my new friends. And he had been
telling me how good he was in bed. I could
not wait to see. It was supposed to go down
at his house, but it was raining really bad, so
he came over to my house. All right, now, hold
up right there, unless he stays in a refrigerator box,
(06:02):
I don't really know what that rain got to do
with it.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Now. If you if you stay.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Under the bridge, you know in your roof is a
refrigerator box or tarp, then I understand you know you
ain't you know?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Okay, but I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
But it raining really bad, so he kept We didn't
waste no time talking. We went straight to bed. He
had exaggerated a little bit on his skill level, but
it was still good for an older man. I ain't
gonna tell you no more thirty five.
Speaker 2 (06:32):

is am I dating Cinderella.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Well, this lady that mechtus what she claims as a romance,
a fairy tale romance. So what she then did was
she done got with this guy that she meant that
he's older than her. He's thirty five, she's twenty eight.
He said, that's what she had been praying for a
older man. He not really older. Five and twenty eight,
(08:01):
that's seven years. That's just another dude. You done matter now,
y'all got together, y'all went over. You went to a
photography studio with your daughter doing a Christmas photo shoot.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
He took your picture.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Then he asked y'all to dinner. You and your daughter,
y'all went out to dinner, had a nice time. Then
he's just playing the dinner date for y'all every night
that week. Okay, cool, let's work. Then you couldn't wait
for her, your daughter, to go to a daddy house
this weekend, because so you can spend some quality time
with your new friend. And he had been bragging about
how good he was in bed. Now, I don't know
at what part of the dinner when you and the
daughter where he was letting you know what how good
(08:33):
he was. But I showed would have liked to ben
at the table when he was sliding that past.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh baby, you like the wear your steak done? Yeah?
I really know how to do steak. Feel me.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Hey, Hey, you want some baked cooking or when it
comes to bacon, that's what I do. I likes to
bake that cookie.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
So I'm just assuming these are the conversation he had
to have at dinner with you and the daughter to
let you know how good he was in bed.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
You couldn't wait, Well, you got there.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Now, y'all was supposed to go down at your house,
but it rained real bad, so he had to stay
at home. He had we well, it had to he
was coming to he was. He was supposed to be
at his house, but it rained real bad, so he
came over to your house. Now, like I said, unless
he stay under the bridge in a refrigerator box. I
don't know what the hell they got to do with it.
(09:32):
But you didn't see that. It's okay. So now then
you said, he exaggerated a little.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Bit how good he was in bed, but it was
still good.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And uh and and she said, and he was uh,
he said, but it was still good for an older man.
Let me explain some of you supposed to still be
good at thirty side. Matter of fact, you're starting to
come into your own. You don't really get this sex
thing down as a man. To you an embarty, you
(10:04):
got to help you, you know, disappointed a couple of
people before, you know, you had to have found out
that you ain't what all you thought you was a
couple of times, you know, to get your game up,
you got to be in your forty. He was pretty
good for an old man at thirty five, lady, If
that's what you're thinking, oh, you're in trouble now. If
he was setting and you was telling me this, I'd
be clapping for the dude. But he thirty five. He
(10:25):
posted to still be good, don't get you don't get there.
You getting no credit for being thirty five and can
still go.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
That's no good. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
He got up and he got about eleven thirty, and
he got dressed quickly, like he was late for work
or something. I told him to call me when he
got home, but I ain't hear from him till next day.
He said he missed me and asked him he could
see me again. I said we could meet for dinner.
He said he wanted to pick up the food and
eat at my house instead. We ate, then we had sex.
Then he told me he needed to be home by midnight.
(10:55):
I told him that's not cute to have sex and
run out. He apologized and said I really got to go.
I'll give it about what you think is cute. I
got skipped miay to the house. He was done. He
has done this four times, and I wonder what is
so significant about midnight. He told me to chill and
(11:19):
learn to live in the moment. What's up with this
man and my dating of Cinderella. Well, you're not dating
a Cinderella. You're not dating to send a fella. You're
dating somebody else's fella. That's all it is. You ain't
dating Cinderella. You're dating somebody else's fella. He got to
(11:40):
be at that house by twelve because she know what
time the studio closed, and he booked his last appointment,
and she know how far that appointment is from the house.
Why are you sitting up here talking about what's up
with this man and my dating of Cinderella?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No, yahn.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You maybe you don't need the older man. Matter of fact,
you twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
You need to start dating a twenty one year old
need That's what you need to do.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Once you got up in the thirties.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I don't know what man in his thirties and don't
don't come with with nothing or what man don't have
a history by the time he thirties. You need to
find out if he got children, if he got a wife,
he got a family, he got.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
A living in lover. You need to find out where
his kids stay.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
You ain't asking no question because you were so content
on saying you met your fairy tale romance and he
was what you prayed for.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
He was older.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Just because you pray for something don't mean as God
descending the teeth. See, you gotta ask some questions.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
God.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You can always meet the older man. Hell, that ain't hard.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
But why that's hard? You can meet the older man,
that's easy. But you want an older man that's available
for you?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Right? You didn't get none of that information, sister, You not.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
You haven't asked one relevant question because you were too
busy and join your fairy tale romance. And this older
man that you had prayed for that God said to you.
Only thing was God didn't send him to you. You
just coincidentally met an older man. Several women have met.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That same man. All right.
