FA,

I had been posting on my thread that i was at work(I work on elevators) that I ran into an old friend at a hotel where we take care of the elevators. We agreed to meet at her hotel that night to have a couple of drinks, well we talked and had more than a few drinks. She had too many drinks and I had to help her up to her room. She wanted me to stay and wanted me to ML with her. I told her it was the alcohol talking, she pulled me down on the bed with her. I left without anything happening. She called me the next day and didn't remember what happened. I told her nothing happened, that she wanted something to, but I didn't want to, maybe sometime when drinks weren't involved. She was embarrassed that she couldn't remember anything. Well she has called me almost every night and I'll admit I called her a couple of times also. We were friends/neighbors after high school, we lived with our parents at the time, even hung out a few times. That was about thirty years ago. She opened up and told me of her problems in her M. Her H left and came back, now she is the LBS who is now the WAS. I would like to help her to regain her M, told her about DB,DR. SHe asked questions about the books and what they said.

She lives in N Carolina now over 8 hours from me and travels for business. It is tempting to think she might be interested in me, but I would rather see her M work out and know I had some help in it than to try long distance R. She has a D who is expecting her first baby, friends first GC. The attention she has given me the last week and a half, has me thinking that I'm an attractive person and desirable. My W hasn't made me feel that way in a number of years, ML was a once out of 12 times.

As far as your question about can a man be friends with a woman. I think a guy can be just a friend but he also wonders if there could be more. I seem to have those feelings about my friend. I would rather see her work on her M and restore it, but also think what could become of us, if it weren't to work out between them.

I'm not your typical cardiac patient, my problem was family history. They told me to try to stick to the cardiac diet but didn't have to do it strictly. My D19 took me out to dinner the other night to a steak house for a good one soon. I have soccer games the next two weekends , tournaments, after that we will do it. I'm refereeing gold (top division) for a tournament called the MASC. It draws 450 teams each weekend, one for girls and another for the boys. It is a gold level tournament (draws college scouts). The club D19 used to play for puts it on. Her team was ranked 2 in the region and 15 in the nation. Miss those days of traveling to tournaments and talking to parents of other teams from around the country. Every tournament we went to we played teams from all over. We traveled to St Louis, Richmond,Va, new jersey, Florida , Chicago, Maryland, Cleveland, Indy, and other cities for games. That was on top of going to Cleveland for her modeling And to LA for her Talent agency.

I know what you mean about long posts, I see others that put in one line, I don't know how they do it, must spend all night , like the kids who text message all night to say what could have been said in a 5 minute phone call.

I have decided to do Pizza night in about three weeks after tournaments. Earn a little money to pay for the ingredients, LOL.

Well have a good weekend with D.

Mike
