G....I have a girl friend of mine that has been dating and single for years. She met a guy about a month ago, they have already taken a trip together, and have exchanged I love you’s. We chatted last night about it and I thought of you. She is 44, not getting any younger, tired of the game, and wants to find love. It is essentially the same thing for the girl I am currently talking to. I am just sharing because I don’t think you are alone and at the end of the day we all just want to be and find love. We want to find connections, be in relationships, and be with someone we enjoy. I never would have expected my friend to be this way as she is very independent and we talked about holding back, being objective, etc. She said she is tired of the games and is just going to go with her feelings and if she gets hurt she gets hurt.
