Thanks for the thoughts BG!

I have read something similar to this. But, I want to get this book and read it. Thanks for bringing it to light.

My one lingering question is this,
Can start counting from age say, 16??
Then I can put 5 under my belt!

29 sounds like such a huge #. I'm not so sure I know 29 guys, married or otherwise.

On the serious side,
I think you put this whole thing into words for me.

I don't trust my feelings at all.
I did know that I needed to date others to validate my feelings for him. The thought is one thing, action is a whole different story. All right, I have had one guy pursue me, and I wasn't interested. Is it fair to have limits??

I guess I will borrow your belief from your situation, and take it on as my own.
It sounds logical and what is needed.

Yes, I really smiled about your sig line.
I have wanted that same thing for myself. It always puts a tear in my eye, to see an old couple so in love, still.

Thanks!

Hey Karona:

Are there 29 men in your town? How about your state? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face. Challenges can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks. It’s just a matter of how you look at them. The purpose of life is to live it, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience

Hey Karona-

I have been having computer problems and haven't been able to log on to reply. I haven't been ignoring you!

So how have things been going since you saw your XBF? Has there been any other contact? How do you feel about the whole thing?

As for the hug, who knows. That is such an individual thing.

Any other prospects? How are the girls?

Things are going well here. I can honestly say I have no complaints at the moment, and would like to keep it that way.

Keep in touch!

Take care and God bless!

Hey Girls!

Well, since we last talked, a "little" has happened.
I went on my first "official" date. It was lunch. I dabbled on a dating site, to which, I have withdrawn myself since.
Anyway, I went back and forth with this particular gentlemen, and put him off, and finally accepted a lunch date.
I have found him to be very genuine, and great qualities, BUT, I have found that I have very strong feelings still for xbf, and I won't bring another person into this situation having those feelings. But also, I don't think I share those kinds of feelings for him anyway.

The most positive experience though is this, that I have learned that there is at least one more man out there that has quality. I was believing that I would never ever meet anyone again that had the qualities of xbf, but this guy does have potential, it's just I don't see it as he and I kind of thing. It's kind of sad, but nonetheless, true.

I'm beginning to believe that good things do actually come in small packages. Meaning, good guys are not tall! I'm 5'8" and I seem to have trouble with this. This guy claimed to be 5'8", but I swear, I grew an inch then, or two.

There is one fellow though that I'm really thinking about these days. I think he "is" the reason I couldn't let myself go with xbf because his name was brought to my attention by 3 or 4 different people. I don't know how I go about meeting him, but it has to happen. It's like fate telling me something. Why would 3 or 4 different people tell me I need to meet this man, if there wasn't something to look into??

So, tonight at the football game, I met up with friends after selling stuff at the game. Who is sitting very near me, but, XH, [which wasn't all bad as I got to be close to YD, his weekend] but, even funnier, the guy I'm speaking of, was sitting directly behind X, AND they were actually talking to each other. So, I was thinking to myself, is this more fate???? X and this guy sitting right by each other????

Anyway, that is what has been going on in my life.

I always enjoy hearing from you Still, and I'm glad things are well.
Please keep me posted.
Are your kids all well? Step sibling well?? no troubles with x???

Newly, I checked it out. Good stuff! Your friend Greengables is fun! I think us 4 girls would have a blast together.

Thanks for checking in Still.

K!
