I just got a really nice reply from Bookkeeper, updating me on the happenings in her life. She said that she is not ready to search for a companion right now and it would be unfair of her to go out with me or any other men at this time. She told me how flattered she is at my effort, and very much appreciated being able to share with each other. She hoped I understood. I wrote back "I absolutely do understand! You'll find somebody wonderful when the time is right. Ingat ka "(means take care). I'm glad I made the effort to follow up. Her reply made me feel that the impressions I had of her originally were correct, she's a nice lady but just not ready. It was a nice ending and I felt respected...I know that won't always happen and I'll have to learn to deal with it
