bt,

He sounds like a keeper. Someone who makes me laugh is a must for me. Of course the integrity things is big as well and it does sound like he has both.

I so understand the male friends. I have been blessed to have so many great guy friends. They were there to pick me up when I needed a laugh and to stroke my bruised ego when I needed it. After ex left they were the ones that changed my tires and came to my house while I was at work to take my car to the mechanic. They've fixed lawn mowers, garage doors, and have been dinner & movie dates. I have always have a great repore with guys but I guess that comes with having 2 brothers. I wouldn't trade 1 of my girlfriends but girlfriends can't help you when you have a car that won't start. (well my girlfriends can't anyway) My point is that if you have a guy that not only understands how important these relationships are then he sounds like the whole package.

As far as the guys you mentioned that make those comments. Well they are out there for sure, and to some guys knowing that we're divorced brings out the pig in them, but except for a couple of instances, I feel for the most part, they are way in the minority.
