I wish the best for you, Mike. :) As you said, it's a matter of exercising our choices. I remember when my mother was alive, she'd be urging me to find a man, any man, just because she felt I couldn't make it on my own. That to me was a major turn-off. I got engaged to a uni classmate when I was at school, but he was killed in a motorbike crash - he was on his way to see me up in N. Virginia and was killed on a rainy highway by a drunken driver. That is the main reason I am so against drinking and driving. I have dated a lot of men since then but as I said earlier, I haven't found anyone I really want to settle down with, and frankly, I like my life the way it is. I am dating someone but it's a long-distance relationship, and I only see him once or twice a month. He's an old friend I've known for many years. I don't know how or where this will go, but I'm in no hurry. :) I'm too old to have kids and I don't want any, so that's not an issue. Yes, I do get lonely sometimes but I like my own company and a good book, a phone call, or an IM chat usually helps with that. :) Kat [log in to unmask] wrote: >We are disabled.
