Quote: When you do, you must become that person he fell in love with all those years ago. You must remember WHAT you used to do/say/think back then.
To which Sue responded:
Quote: I don't know if I remember what attracted me to him.
People are attracted to people who enjoy life ... who are happy because they have fun ... upbeat because they look forward to doing something that they enjoy doing. Over the years, we tend to put aside more of what we enjoy doing in order to meet our obligations to work, family and household. The knocks of life shifts our attitudes a little at a time and we become, not as often, the happy-go-lucky people we once were around our S's and this slowly pushes them away from us.
It is not so much as to going back to what you were but doing what you as an individual would enjoy doing now! By striving to make each day from here on out as enjoyable to you as you possibly can, you will become a happier, more fun-loving person. This change will make him relect on how you seem to be more like when he first met you and stir up those feelings he had when you were first together.

Quote: Neither one of us really had been out with anyone, so maybe he grabbed the first one and now 24 yrs later regrets that he did not have more.
24 years ago, he obviously enjoyed being with you so much that he felt he did not need to search for anyone else. By being the Sue who is strong and confident ... happy with herself and making the most of each day and each friendship will remind him of that once again.
