I just went back and re-read the initial post I wrote. I almost cried again reading it, not because I am still upset, but because it reminded me of how low I actually fell to!
The good news is boys and girls, that at this point in time things couldn't be better.
I'm hoping Murphy's law will be a little less active around me in the future and he has been relatively quiet, with only the odd hickup; but nothing I couldn't handle.
There has however been an interesting developement . I havn't said anything, as I wasn't sure how far things would get and to be frank never thought they would get to the point they have so far. But it has!! What the hell am i talking about? Well, it can only mean one thing can't it!!! Yes, that's right boys and girls.........I had a datelove3.gif !!!
I have known this girl for about 6 or more months, through some interactions at one of the business' I deal with. It did however turn out that we had met 13 years ago, when I ran Cosway Motorcycles. We have always had a friendly but work oriented relationship; however about three or so weeks ago, we sat down for a chat about some work things and then it went on to more personal things. I opened up and spoke about what had happened with my relationship. This lead to her inviting me for an afternoon out somehwere at a work do, however I wasn't able to time it with my work. So asked if we could meet for dinner instead, another day; a proper date as such. To my surprise she said yes!
It was pretty scary to be honest. Ten years is a long time and habits are hard to break, but I did it!! I went on a date! The thing was, much to my surprise, this actually lead to a 2nd date!!!
I know, I was just as shocked. What was even more surprising is that she didn't drink during the 1st date and still I managed a 2nd date! However, as unbelievable as that sounds, the 2nd date then lead to an unheard of 3rd date and then a 4th date and even a 5th date!! Then, last night, we had our 6th date and are making plans into the coming weeks ahead!!!
Now, before you ask...NO! I don't have to be carefull of her labrador or cane!
No, I don't pick her up each afternoon from the sheltered workshop either!
As a matter of fact, she is a very pretty, intelligent, sweet natured and generous person!
I am very, very lucky!!!
I have been very cautious with this, almost to the point of it being a little mechanical. However, it's for good reason, as I am not wanting to experience the old "Rebound girlfriend Syndrome" which can take hold, but doen;t usually last long! Thankfully, I can communicate openly with her and she has also agreed for her own reasons to take things slowly and see what happens. But, I must say, she has got hold of me a bit already!
On our 2nd date, I mentioned two favourite movies at one point in the conversation, next thing I know, she has bought me those two movies on DVD for my birthday! Mighty thoughtful I thought! When I woke up on my actual birthday, I recieved a morning email with b'day wishes from her, then an E-card, an SMS and a phone call!! Then, to top all that, she invited me over and cooked me dinner and we watched one of the movies she bought me. I had the best time, she is great company, easy to get along with, very, very generous and thoughful! I kinda like this one a bit!
She is a corporate professional, self made, independant and financially secure!!!
If I had to tick boxes along the way, I think she has hit the mark with most. Similiar musical tastes, similiar interests (she even has her own bike), some odd quirks and habits we share which I am not speaking of in here
and loads of other unbelievable coincidences and common ground.
All in all, I am pretty chuffed about things so far. The lithmus test will be this weekend, as we are doing a 1400 klm car journey from friday night to Sunday night! That's 14 hours at least in the car with me, a real baptism of fire, so Monday may tell a different story!!!

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?
