Well, recent events in my life have me thinking about how the gloomy and dark periods of our lives can create really stark backdrops for rays of sunshine. I recently, amid my own gloom, encountered such a ray. A brilliant one.

And, she's a true blessing to me. Here's hoping this goes well...

I'm feelin' kinda sappy. mushy

Share with me your tales of unexpected love and good fortune...

Oh, and Spats -- making all the first steps really precludes confusion. smile


what a beautiful tale

and i agree that the dark times are as much a blessing ... those stunning rays would be hard to see if everything was beright sunshine all the time

I agree. It's hard to find a woman who have that affect on you.

Just keep in mind that it's not necessarily about the woman being a stimulant for you. It's more about finding fulfillment in what the two of you work at honestly and respectfully.

You'd be amazed at what can come from that approach. nod

crazy how that happens innit?
i was going thru the same, i had had it with men, was just having fun on my own, focussing on school, building my own self confidence instead of feeding off of others...beginning to no only learn more about myself but love myself too - for the first time in 10 years...

Stumbling onto this site (in search of sexy prince photos) was probably the best thing that's happened to my computer - and my life giggle
it's a place i can come and STILL be me, and not need to hide behind an internet identity..it's comfy here smile i've met so many different people that i know one day before this life is over i HAVE to meet...

And thank GOD i've already met one... we were friends for a bit, chatting close to everyday about everything under the sun...very open about his life...i was too - but to an extent because something was different about him...i felt @home with him not even knowing @ this point what he looked like...and we continued to chat until he convinced me to open up more to him, as something more than just friends..and the day we finally met was... mushy cloud9
my life has never been the same since...
it's been better...
it's been fuller...
and i couldn't thank the fates more...

It takes time, Spats. Sometimes, I think, it takes a willingness to demonstrate your commitment to that process first. You're right: Not every woman will be interested in sharing and communicating honestly. But, I believe God sends you someone who is, once you demonstrate your willingness to operate that way.

The whole God sends you someone stuff is suspect. It does not work like that. That's not reality. I don't think God has been popping in on the godawful dating scene i have to involve myself in on a regular basis if i want to meet hot women.

Spats, man, I hear your disappointment. I know all about that, believe me. I wouldn't -- especially with a "Jesus" avvie and Bible-verses signature -- suggest God does something without reason, empirical evidence even, to back it up.

My whole life is a testament to His concern and care about our personal lives. (Psalm 37:4-5)
