hi Anita. yes, in some strange way I’m glad she wasn’t thoughtful about the holiday situation as it gave me a strong enough reason to leave the friendship. Otherwise I think I would still be holding onto this friendship and living with that bit of hope for a relationship. I’ve learnt now to be firmer, more decisive and more confident when I’m in similar situations.

‘In my experience communicating with you here, you are a decent, respectful, caring and romantic young man. I think that the woman who ends up with you will be fortunate.’ Thank you 😊 that’s kind of you to say.

I’ve seen you be of great help not just to myself but to others on the site. I was wondering what motivates you to do this? It’s really lovely and heartwarming to see.
