Best advice I ever got on this board was when I was told repeatedly that I cared too much & put way too much effort into it.
Just tonight I had a good friend tell me "you got so used to being neglected that any scrap of attention was a feast". His e-mail is a scrap. Ignore it. Find a real feast. After all you are the Dudess !!!
Good to see you cookie!
I know I also have put too much effort into this relationship.
I don't think his email was even a scrap - more like a turd.
