Connecting Singles worked for me.

Hi guys!
My name is Peter. Let me tell you about a love story that goes back to 1990. I met this beautiful Swedish girl when I was on business in London UK back in 1990. Sitting at the hotel bar after close of business that day, my eyes came into contact with a lady who could have been a pin up movie star.
I just had to speak to her and started up a conversation.
She only had a couple of drinks and we decided to go to the park next to Earls court. It was breath taking to sit with a lady who listened to me, in turn we both had so many questions for each other.
I knew that from the first moment we saw each other, I had fallen in love with this Swedish girl.
After one of the most beautiful nights in our lives, we said goodbye the next day as she was flying back to Sweden, I was due to go back to Scotland at the end of the week.
I promised to call her and did a few times when I arrived back in Scotland. The fifth time I called her, a young child answered the phone and could not speak English. I said best I could.* Tell your mom I will telephone Friday* When that Friday came, I was heart broken. The number was no longer connected. With the UK and Swedish operator figuring out that there was no forwarding address number.
I met a lady in Scotland and we had a relation ship for 18 years until she ended up with my best friend.
After a while I thought it was time to date again.
All those years later, cell phones and online computers were all the rage.
A few short relationships later, I decided to try online dating.
One day, I came home from work and saw a couple people had viewed my profile on Connecting singles.
When I looked at the second one, this picture of a beautiful looking woman, mature in years like me. She was pulling my eyes to her picture. There was something about her that I was drawn to.
I think it was two days later when I had a message from her. She just wanted to know if I was the Peter she met in London in 1990!!!!
WOW! You could have knocked me down with a feather.
Yeppers! It was Veronica.
10 days later she flew over to Edinboro and I fell in love all over again. She told me I was the only one night stand she had ever had. LOL. Technically.
We ended up with her moving to Scotland and my home. That was in 2012. On September 21st 2013, we married. ( See Picture on my profile. )
Last year after having cancer for the third and fourth time, she didn't have any fight left in her. She passed away in front of me.
I loved her to bits and still do. Now I have to get on with life and living. I have cried honest tears. Grieved hard, but, now I am starting to laugh and live again.
What better place to come back to than Connecting singles, where beautiful things can and do happen.
In the end, I was given some beautiful years with a woman that I thought I would never be with. I was also part of the solution, not the problem with what she had in the cancer.
Love sometimes finds a way. In my case, It did. It was fate!
I am young at heart at 64 years old. My mind is of a 30 year old, but my body reminds me I am not lol.
Thank you for taking time to read this. Thank you connecting singles.

Happy CS Dating 1 year Anniversary bouquet
Peter, I looked to see if you ever posted your CS "success story".





heart wings
Sorry for your loss and good luck with your new endeavor
CS may serve your needs but the chances of enticing any bloggers even before the pandemic are almost non existent

What a beautiful story, with a tragic ending, but still beautiful.
Good luck finding someone. thumbs up
How come all the dozens of CS ladies scratching nightly at my door are all in the best of health? Perhaps I should stop pushing them all away.professor Nice story.
Don't give up, with that sort of doors opening for you.

Sorry for your loss sad flower
And romantic as it sounds,as it is and was, love holds no speciity other then a need to be fed.. but better to have a hunger, then not wine
A beautiful, sad story, at the end, but that is life, one leaves before the other. The other has to decide, grieve for the rest of his life or find another kind of way, to continue life. I am sure Veronica would want you to be happy again, as you would of wish her if you would of left before her.
I wish you all the best in finding happiness again.
Well, I had a CS story at one time. It encompassed almost 6 years of our lives, then went south, as way of the dodo bird, and geese in winter. My heart is still in this winter, though I'm not paralyzed at the drop of her name anymore (finally). I am feeling like I can move on, because life and time moves forward, with or without us. This was a meant-to-be connection, but alas. I didn't have your luck PJL. You have an amazing story and a success that I don't. Happy for you. thumbs up
How utterly fascinating! I do believe it's called 'fate'! All the very 'best' to you in persuit of finding love & happiness - just be careful there is a lot of con artist out there...
well ya got lucky you found your better half...
I read this story of yours before.

I moved 14 months ago and I'm pretty sure it was long before then.

In fact, I'm pretty sure I read this story of your wife dying last year when I was living in the house before last that I shared with my daughter and granddaughter, so your wife died last year at least three and a half years ago, too.

I'd offer my condolences, but I think your wife had the rough end of the stick in this relationship.
Tell it like it is jac_the_. laugh
Ive posted with this blogger a long time ago on a dubious blog.confused dunno

I love life today. Losing my beautiful wife of 8 years to cancer shocked the hell out of me. I have a heart, but not a swinging brick that a lot of guys have.
I was in BorĂ¥s Sweden for over 7 years. Moved back to Blackpool in October 2021. I love l [read more]
