Georgiabelle, I always brighten up when I see a post from you. When I came here blindsided and lost two years ago, you told me I would be OK. That was such an important message. Because I am.
Thank you for your current wisdom. I'm unclear whether the duck is still a player or not, I've heard conflicting stories. I never ask him, but I might at some point. It would be great to have her go away, and I've already said I'll make an effort to get along with someone new.
One of the perks of dating has been that I've picked up a couple of new guy friends along the way. All through college and my young working life, up until my son was born, probably over half my friends were guys, and I've really missed that over the years. So this has been nice.
It's never going to work out with MyNica and I've accepted that. I've even accepted that the relationship we actually had, when we had one, was not the one I ultimately want, I was banking on a future we didn't get to. But what we did have taught me so much about what I'm looking for in a man, how wonderful it is to be treated nicely, what it's like for someone to listen to and validate me. And we had chemistry in spades. If there's a lesson here, I guess it's to show me that it's possible, but it seems like it's a cruel joke of the universe to show me it's possible and then take it away.
That doesn't mean I"m sitting at home, though, I'm ever the optimist. I've dated some lately, although I find myself turning down guys for some petty reasons. I don't mean to be picky, it's just my mood right now. I assume I"ll settle down sooner or later and be open when the right guy comes along.
Anyway, GB, thanks for stopping by, you've given me some things to think about, and that's why I post here!
