Amanda,

I am happy for both of you, and a little envious of your fiance. :-)  I
too have dreamed about a wife and children, but Think my dreams will
never come true.   I am 44 and even though I am in good health I guess
I'm going to be a bachelor for the rest of my life.  Oh well, dating was
fun while it lasted, but when my last "significant dating partner" got
married 2 or 3 years ago, I decided to forgo dating.  It takes too long
to build a dating relationship now, and i simply refuse to build one if
in the end all I get is a "Thanks but no thanks."

Mike
