Had the same problem - but he just didn't fancy me. Keep trying.

And you think only ladies have those problems? even including the "already has another woman" one... :-)

Why is it so difficult? But like Jaquci C said, keep trying. So if I just bide my time. Course I could come out and just tell him, to be told the infamous "I like you but just as a friend" line.

Just had a phone call from a friend. She heard on the news about a traffic accident in my suburb, in a street that runs right near my place - so phoned to see if I was still alive.

That's a friend. Want more of those....

Its been a very stressful week and the straw that broke the camels back was hearing about the death of a friends husband. A friend is someone who drives you home, miles out of their way because you're too upset to cope with the practicalities and manages to make you smile on the way. It then turned surreal as we had an extra 20 miles diversion because of a car accident on the main road.
Like Foolstroupe said, we all need more friends like these.

Communication is the key for meeting potential mates and for maintaining relationships. My wife and I even talk while we having sex. Just last night she called me from the Marriot...

Really? The Marriot? Is your wife's name Rachel?

(just kidding!)

I met someone today who just about blew all my circuits and assumptions right out of the water, but I'm maintaining my equilibrium...I think...whew!

I've got the friends, who are great. One of them is even going to put me up for a week when I have to have a foot operation. but there's still an empty space sometimes that even the closest friends can't fill and that comes from not having the wonderful emotional and physical contact that comes with love. I think that LH will know what I'm talking about - you can be as resistant to a new relationship as you want but when it hits there ain't much you can do!

Somehow this thread makes me think of Maine. :)

I think this was one of the more touching, endearing and honest threads I've read on the Cat.

Yes, Maine is about right...

Awwww; just moments ago I wished Jacqui a belated happy b'day, and then I found this and jumped to Ebbies new entry. Wut a smiler.

Ebbie - You have exposed the Mudcat for what it really is.

Usually, the resurrection of an old thread has a link to a porn pimp.

But now, you have unveiled the origins of a courtship which has led to the "marriage of true minds."

Thanks - Tom

Men and women are hard wired differently. Adjust.

Kendall, huh?

I wonder if the original subject had any luck. A lot of connections have been made because of Mudcat. Some work, although not always in the way you expect, and some just don't. The ones that do are uplifting for everybody involved.

I'd forgotten this thread. It's made me smile reading through it. Who would have thought, then.................

I went looking for it, Jacqui, because of what Kendall said yesterday (?) on another thread, something to the effect that 'Jacqui said something intelligent and he wrote in response' and that's where it all began.

And you are right: it's made me smile too.

I really enjoyed rereading this thread also. There was an unspoken subtext, of sorts, people getting to know each other on the side, though we don't know about the original lonely heart. Didn't AllanC also marry since this started?
