Reply #33: I was "single, not lonely" at 34

[Rowdyboy]

but, when I moved to a place where I could actually meet a real male partner in life, I took the chance and was VERY LUCKY, very quickly. I met my partner 7 months from the time I started looking seriously!

BTW, my partner was 39 at the time, coming off an 18 year marriage. I was his "rebound" so it couldn't possibly work.....Right?

16 years later, I never expect to be single again (knock wood)

I feel like I know you too well to reject simplistic blanket statements like "I'm too selfish for marriage". Maybe you are, but in our many, many, MANY conversations over the last few years, I've never seen that attitude in you.

Trust me, babe, if I were straight, I would have been very likely to chase you all over south Mississippi. You're a class act and I hope you find what ever you want to find out of life.

Not everyone is suited for a relationship, but, IF YOU ARE, you'd be a fool to let the chance pass you by. My life would be infinitely less a pleasure had I never taken a chance and met my other half.

Don't be afraid to take a chance.
