Hello Readers,
This is a story for those shy guys out there that love woman, but never seem to be at the forefront of the selection process. I can tell you from personal experience that being a shy guy is tough. Most women you have met, even if they like you, will wait for you to make the first move. It's not personal, it's just how most girls are raised. You have to take a chance, damn that fear of rejection (It can be terrifying), and make that first move. At the age of 54, I can now look back at the plethora of missed opportunities and shake my head. The signs and hints from a hundred women, that I ignored or just feared were my imagination; she's just being nice, she doesn't really like me like that; now astound me.
To be sure, I am not and was not a dweeb. I was a football quarterback in High School and College, played baseball, and soccer (football to the rest of the world). And spent six years in the military. I hunted, camped, and won the few fistfights I had. I am and was very much a man's man. I just had no confidence around women. Several old 'Girl' friends even confided in me later in life that they thought I was gay.
After sending every signal in the book only to be ignored, my future wife decided, screw this he's not getting away. She conked her caveman over the head, grabbed him by the hair and dragged him into her cave;) Not really, but you get the picture, she had to make all the first moves. Thirty years later, we have two grown children and four grandchildren.
How Polygamy Begins is pure fiction, but the main character Jason has my personality and traits. The girls are based on women I've known during my life, with some embellishments. Just remember, truth is often stranger than fiction. I'll leave it to you to decide what's embellished. I can and do create characters from scratch, but this story is more of a 'What if' scenario. Oh, and the names have been changed to protect the guilty;)
I've currently published four chapters with multiple parts, and I'm working on the fifth. I will definitely bring this story to a conclusion, but it could be a few more chapters.
For those that are already following my story, thank you from the bottom of my heart. And for those who want to give my story a try, please take the time to give me your opinion, good or bad.
Thank you,
James
