As most of you know, Abram came to visit with me. He arrived Christmas eve night, wearing a Big Red Bow! He is a wonderful man, very sweet and kind, helpful, and genuine. What can I say? I am difficult!!! I want to count him as a friend, a good friend, and I feel badly that I may have broken his heart Just wanted everyone to know that we will not be starting a relationship. It's okay though. I am sure that I hurt him, due to an issue we had about his dog. The dog issue kept me stressed the entire time they were here. I am sorry Abram!!!

You're a sweetheart and he's a very nice man. I know you'll have a lovely friendship.

HL, I'm sorry to hear that it didn't turn out to be more as you both had wished. I hope that the two of you can remain friends. What's meant to be will be, and at least the two of you had the opportunity to meet and discover what could and couldn't be for you.
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!!!

Your right in handling the situation in the manner you did. I would not have brought a dog with me on an initial visit...poor decision(JMO).
It's common for your dog to be the dominate pooch, in his home...when a new dog shows up. I would have left my dog at home, especially on a 1st visit...to see how things would go.
I think the added dog visit, was added stress on you and your dog. Especially sense his was chaotic, and that would be expected in the puppy behavior.
It is good that you have added a good friend to your life. Just hang in there till your "Mr Right" comes along. I'm aware of what you say about the 7 year thing...I'm like that myself(maybe too picky on my part)!
OK, Happy New Year coming up...and you'll do just fine...God bless you and yours.

I'm sure Abram is embarrassed at this time since this type of thing is, should be considered a private situation. I would have been very embarrassed. However if Abram goes for it then all is well. I hope you talked with him first and told him you were going to post yer date on the inter-net ?

I agree with Diamond. Talking about failed relationships on the Threads are something I dislike. These should be private.

I, too would hope my date would keep things private. I have two Lab mix pups. 6 months is not a large milestone for them. They are babies til well past the age of two yrs. I also hope you discussed with him prior to posting this. . .

Blimey I'd be well pissed off if someone discussed something so private in the forums...How can you be so sorry and then discuss it here for all to see?????
