Inky,

Really well said. Thanks so much for your reply. Well his last weekend in town was last weekend, so I guess I wasn’t really going to see too much more of him anyway. However, I had his number but made a point not to contact him or end up giving him mine. He kept saying he wanted to see me the next day, but I didn’t promise that or make it happen. So now he’s back in England where he came from, and that’s it. Maybe something nice could have started if a lot of circumstances had been different, but no use pondering that. I will certainly keep in mind what you said about the “crossroads” when it comes time I have to make a decision like that again, involving “shoulds” and “what happens a lot in reality.” I think I’m still in the midst of reevaluating things in this aspect of my life and putting myself back together in a way I like after my last break up. Just another challenge to learn from and grow, I suppose.

Thanks so much again.
