I think there is a 30% chance of meeting someone that is compatible or even capable enough to hold a good conversation and share interests.Maybe at 51 it is harder.I think younger people have more of a chance than us older people!Ahhh,I don't like the OLD word!

Bridges burnt! We all go through life in stages,we are born,we are cared for we go to school!we are in a sense starting up our lives,yes we have relationships that we think at the time are going to last forever,but we are to young! we havn't conquerd the next step,of maturity!then yes some of our friends make mistakes,well where are they now?50%?our parents have instilled our morales and values and at that time of rightiousness,what do we do?what we feel is right?or what we feel isn;t or if we do,is it futurustic?and does it make sense?most of the time we just go for it without looking at the consequenses!It's like having sex without a condom!allot of people do it and sweat it out for the next month and the others use one and if there are regrets?there aren't any!long term!so yes I have been hurt more than once as you have but all I can say is take the blinders off and open up yourself to life and learn from this horrible breakup to become a better person,yes it will hurt for a while but in a month or two you will say thanks to me and to her for me with this heartfelt advice and for her in!thank you for showing you true colors so you can move on and see it for what it was and not for what it had become or for what it is,for you are better than all that,and you now know you deserve a whole lot better!---T Ryan.
