FY, you made me laugh with the image of your W seeing the lipstick kiss on the book.
Grace, what you are guessing might or might not be true. Maybe your W just changed...Maybe she doesn't know who she really is or what she wants. I didn't know you had your eyes on someone else. I'll check out your thread!
Spartan, thank you for the encouragement. I mention this group (in a very non-specific way) in my book. You guys will probably be able to figure out it's my book, though, if you read the intro. We'll see what the editor thinks about what I wrote. I've been busy interviewing editors.
BF, thank you for your insights. Who knows what will happen. I had said to myself I wanted to take a break from dating/trying to find someone to date the week before I met Joe. I laugh every time I write down "Joe," by the way. The thing is that now that I've had this spiritual awakening, I've become more picky. Like GTO said, I would have to be with someone mature and who knows what real love is. Maybe my Dharma is to be single so I have time to help a lot of people. I guess we'll find out!
Ruby, you crack me up. The Boston Party is coming up! :-) I'm planning on attending a couple of meetup events to see if I can make new friends.
