You *are* going to be OK, you are such a special person it cannot be otherwise. I firmly believe it. Before meeting Malcolm I had completely given up on romantic expectations. I didn't want to settle for what would have been companionship at best rather than spending the rest of my life on my own. I was happy to do just that, happy to be the Strange Woman with camera(s) and too many cats. The last 'romantic' relationship was ended (by me) when I realised I had no intention of being J's mother, especially given that I was very fond of him, but certainly not madly in love. When I met Malcolm I had no hidden agenda - I was thrilled to have a friend that was not only into birdwatching but also into anything else that flies like I was...:) Things progressed slowly over a period of months, when it became rather obvious that my 'friend' meant quite a lot to me, and that I wasn't prepared to let him slip away. What I am trying to say (and not doing a great job of it either) is that what is meant for you won't pass by you, like a friend of mine used to say. You are a wonderful, funny and interesting woman - the likely scenario is that you'll have to beat the suitors off with a stick in order to have some peace. :)
