KS - the 2nd quote is "not" mine. As for hope, i try everyday to be the man she wanted me to be and I should have been all along. But i "needed" to date. I was to depressed 8 months into this and I needed to "fake it until i make it". Depression was too severe and she wasn't coming around.
Delia,
No she was not. And she has only been a one or two dates since.
