I have a secret admirer

Well, maybe not too secret. I haven't met him yet, but have talked to him a lot. And he's about 8 or 9 states away, but he sent me roses for valentines day!! You can see them on my profile. Hugs, Dianne

How exciting...and sweet...just take it slow. Hugs, Tonya

I definitely am!!! I am actually not ready for a "relationship". With all the changes going on in my life....I don't need that too!!! He had wls last March and has lost 177 lbs. So, most of our conversations has been about the surgery and stuff. Very sweet....but I'm not quite ready for it!! Good thing he is so far away!!!

THAT'S PURE "PHOOEY", MS DIANNE. NOW, LISTEN TO "MOM". NEVER, NEVER, NEVER TURN DOWN AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A GOOD "RELATIONSHIP". THERE ARE FAR TOO FEW THAT COME ALONG IN ANYONE'S LIFETIME TO CLOSE THE DOOR JUST BECAUSE "YOU DON'T NEED THAT TOO!!!" YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE "READY". YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE AN OPEN HEART. RELATIONSHIPS COME IN ALL SHAPES & SIZES, & EACH HAVE THEIR OWN BLESSINGS TO GIVE & SHARE. JUMP IN WITH BOTH FEET & LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. THIS MAY BE YOUR SOULMATE ... OR, YOUR DEAREST FRIEND ... OR, THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE ... OR, ALL OF THOSE THINGS WRAPPED UP IN ONE PERSON (LIKE MY NICK IS TO ME) BUT, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IF YOU DON'T OPEN YOUR LIFE & HEART. YES, HE COULD BE A HEARTBREAKER AS WELL, BUT SHEESE GIRL ... THE MAN JUST SPENT HOW MUCH SO YOU'D HAVE BEAUTIFUL ROSES ON VALENTINE'S DAY. PRETTY NICE START! YA KNOW, I FELL IN LOVE WITH NICK BEFORE I EVEN MET HIM. BECAUSE WE MET ONLINE, WE GOT TO "KNOW" EACH OTHER FIRST. GOD'S PRETTY SMART ON THAT ONE CUZ I USED TO BE THE KIND OF WOMAN WHO LOOKED FOR A MAN BY HIS OUTWARD DEMEANOR (I LIKED THE DARK, DANGEROUS ONES - YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW THEY WERE NOT, NOT, NOT THE BEST FOR ME) ... SO, ANYWAY ... BY THE TIME WE ACTUALLY MET, I COULDN'T HAVE TURNED AWAY FROM THIS MAN EVEN IF I'D WANTED TO CUZ I ALREADY "KNEW" THE HEART OF HIM FROM HOURS & HOURS OF CHATTING ONLINE. HE'S SAID THAT I HAD HIM HOOKED FROM "HELLO". GOOD FOR HIM ON THE UNBELIEVABLE 177 #s LOST! TELL HIM WE ALL APPLAUD HIS EFFORT & SUCCESS! OK, "MOM'S" DOWN OFF HER SOAPBOX! DAWN & NICK

Aww---very sweet.

That's so exciting!! Please be careful. We love you.

Speaking of being careful ... When nick & I decided to meet in person, I had a girlfriend who gave me her cell phone # so, "in case he's (nick) an ax murderer, you can call me", she said. Don't know how she thought that would help as we both traveled & met several states away somewhat in the middle between maryland & south carolina. Even if he had been an ax murderer, it would have been a step up from the cheatin' lechers that had been tryin' to get me in the sack up till then. Thankfully, nick turned out to be the sweetest man on earth.

NOW, THIS IS JUST TOO COOL! HOW VERY SWEET OF HIM (WHAT'S HIS NAME? HOW DID YOU MEET? WHEN YA GONNA MEET IN PERSON? COM'ON GIVE UP THE DETAILS!) NICK & I MET ONLINE WHEN HE LIVED IN MARYLAND & I LIVED HERE IN THE LOWCOUNTRY. IT IS THE MOST WONDERFUL STORY. WE WERE JUST TALKIN' ABOUT IT YESTERDAY ON VALENTINES DAY ... HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS TOGETHER ... FOR THESE LAST 6 YEARS. IF YOU FIND HALF AS MUCH LOVE & JOY WITH YOUR SECRET ADMIRER AS I'VE FOUND WITH NICK, YOU WILL BE IN HEAVEN ON EARTH, MS DIANNE! PRAYERS & LOVE WISHES TO YOU & YOUR SECRET ADMIRER ... DAWN & NICK
