Heather I am really encouraged by you. You have come so far since I started following your story. What a difference in your attitude to all of this.

I wish I could have your confidence in even thinking about a new relationship. I know you have only been testing the waters, yet I just cant see myself with another man, not even the old one at the moment. Yet I can see how good it can make you feel, just to have someone take an interest. I guess these things come in time.

I can understand why some people have warned you about the consequences of dating sites, but you would never want to do to others what smokey has done to you. yet I am sure there must be some path that will allow you to make new male friends, and enjoy a little light flirtation. Maybe then you will finally understand whether you still want to fight for what you had, or walk away completely... another answer to sit and wait for.

I appreciate you stopping by my thread. I don't post as often as I should on others threads, I don't feel I can add much at the moment, but knowing there is someone out there who understands what it is I am feeling makes a big difference on a bad day. Thank you for that.
