TheresMyFriend: Glad you found a new friend, and wish the best for the both of you. But, one should not approach a possible relationship with so much expectation, especially after you have at least met...to see what the chemistry is like. We can't all be the others match, for many different reasons. To find your match(men and women), is a lot like a combination lock...it has to have the right combination to unlock your hearts. JMO
You are right in what you have said.
I had no worldly expectations of Abram, or anyone else.
In my situation, the spiritual connection must be absolutely equaled, or he must have excelled past where I am spiritually.
This would be the connection to unlock my heart.
Hey, I haven't even thought of meeting anyone in over 7 years.
At least I took the step in that direction and actually met someone face to face. No intimacy took place, as I do not believe in having intimacy with anyone I barely know. All things must line up and balance before I would even consider it.
He was very respectful of this and I truely appreciate this in him.
As I said, I had no expectations, just excited about meeting a real person!!!
I am sure things would have been much more relaxed, had the dog not come. He was a 6 month old black labradore retreiver, a huge puppy! I have a little dog, whom I have had for 11 years. She is very dominating and disciplined. The pup was undisciplined. Very kaotic!!!
