yes, Rutho, we do feel younger when we find love.  Yes, I am sure it will work out - he is quite a distance from me and this is the first time I have experienced a long distance relationship.  

It makes it hard to trust when they are not face to face.  But I am learning- I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

I'm so excited for my friend to come visit me!! and will just enjoy his company while he's here.. the more I think about it, the more i'm convinced he's just like me, in that, he's lonely and just wants to feel loved.. i can't see him moving away from his home.. I think i'm just fantasizing there.. but am so glad to be able to spend time with him regardless:) i wish though, that i could have what so many people have, and this guy mark could have been all I've ever wanted.. if he lived here, he could have been the "one"... maybe i'll never have what i want, i have to just let it go and live for today..
God bless!
