Thanks SPM . It was lovely to read. Shines a bit of hope and there are some good tips.

I have had lots of work related interactions with H over past 3 days. All good and upbeat. Just like business partners.

I am impatient and its my downfall. I have to get better control of myself. I liked the tip about ; pretending your across the room observing yourself - may help with the way i interact.

I have not made contact with any C yet. Not sure what i am waiting for. I am toying with the idea of joining a tennis club. I play sport and gym etc but always with woman. I think if I join a club I should make it mixed.

Keep smiling
