You know Tom, you say you have many interests. So there should be talks, demonstrations, and seminars of topics that interest you.

Socializing is important to woman and sharing a common interest may lead to more common interests. You really have to get out of your box and make yourself available or you won't find anyone.

I wish you the best in moving forward.

So my 34 year old daughter ask me for the 10th time, what kind of man are you looking for mom. I finally replied with:

"The man of my dreams knows he is not only on the earth and under the stars, but is one with them. He knows he possesses magic and power. He has the ability to conquer and destroy, but chooses to use this ability to love and build on what already exists. He can do great harm, but chooses to heal. He knows of the evil lurking and chooses to shield himself and his loved ones from it. What he looks like is hard to say, but you will recognize him. His character is reflected in his eyes, his body language tells his story, and his casual bearing puts those around him at ease.

So this is the man that I seek. But I know that the only way to find such a person is to fill this void inside me with strength, grace and joy, love and hope, until it is so full that my light shines so bright that he finds me. And if for some reason he does not find me, the grace and joy, love and hope, will sustain me and make me the person I want to live with most."

She said very funny mom. What do you think?

Very nice. I hope run in to more of your writing.

I hate people always telling me I am so gracious and forgiving. Because then they expect me to always be that way.

You know I do reply to most all mail. Not to all nudges, but to all mail. The only time I don't is if they seem rude or crude. I hope more do respond than not for you.

But it is true no response does = no thanks.

Best of luck to you.

I have not met a date, but have met a few very nice people. As someone that has been out of the dating pool for a long long time, it gives me an opportunity to get comfortable with it again.

Online relationships are like all relationships...they have to go somewhere from there or they stop.
