 I recently have started seeing a guy! His name is Shawn, and he is 27. He knows about my kidney 'situation' and has not been scared off! He and I seem to have a lot in common and so far so good. We have gone out a couple of times, and we are hanging out later today at my house! I am happy, and school is going awesome! LOVE you guys!

If you're not that into him, or he's not that into you, its better to move on. Meanwhile you've got some good practice in. Relationships can benefit from having a bit of practice under your belt: a better understanding of what people will and wont put up with, maybe some understanding of yourself... sometimes all you get is a better understanding of what you never want to experience again! As my DH and I often remark to each other, you need the duds to recognise when a good one comes along.

I'm sorry if things didn't work out Karen. You are a good person and the right one will come along. Worst case scenario you could move to Australia.... Richardmelt has been lonely way to long... |
