Ok. I sent the reply to the cousin as suggested by Gno and Pups. This meeting with the friend might not actually happen. I'll keep you posted. Thank you all for the advice and support.
My GAL process continues. I went to my company's party yesterday and it was lots of fun. Met new people, talked to lots of good looking girls, etc Got many compliments on my new look. Didn't think about my W until the very very end when I was walking home on my own. Other than that, cool.
New haircut, new contact lens and the early results of workout on my body are charging me with confidence. Of course, it still hurts and I still wonder about my W but everyday, it's less than the day before.
I'll be fine.
I like the sound of the changes, it's not an overnight process but it does have to begin somewhere and it's the same with the detachment process, you won't get over the hurt overnight but eventually you will become stronger and more confident as each day passes, you'll find that attractive guy you started out as and when you become him 100% you will be thankful and realize you should never have lost sight of him in the first place, it's a tough less but a lesson worth learning.
