Ganb8te 4 - Putting on my giraffe ears

[gan]

On an international diplomacy equivalent front it would be like Australia asking the USA what the UK is up to (which is a question that we in the UK regularly ask)

Exactly. Sharing intelligence. Happens all the time

which of these would help you? how would they help you?

If he's done then I will commit to moving on and get myself mentally ready to date. If not, then I will do what I can to keep the door open (which in my view, excludes dating....at least for a little while longer).

But would you really rather have some of the developments that are happening in other situations?

Point taken. No. But there is certainly some appeal to being able to see things more clearly.

What do you see as the finish line? and do you see it as a race? (i've unsurprisingly got my own thoughts on this but I'd like to know yours)

In this context, I meant: finish line = ready for next R. If I get to the finish line and he's no where to be seen then I will start dating. Not in a vindictive way, but in moving my life forward kind of way - I want to share in life's adventures with someone. At the moment I feel like I may need to load my saddle with weights to give me a bit of a handicap.

So what are you going to do about it?

Ah, the million dollar question. If I knew the answer Jim, I wouldn't be here.

I do know that I have meaning and happiness in my life. Always did (but for this little detour a few months ago). GAL is not an attempt by me to buy time. Everything I am doing now I intend to continue with. For the things that will come to an end, I'll find something new to try after that. GAL is not just a distraction for me, it is my life. Oh, wait...
