Yes, he's dreaming for sure....

In my case it was a roundabout path to my beloved. Some months earlier, I'd met a young woman ("L.") through a personal ad in the paper (that's how long ago this was). The chemistry wasn't mutual, but we got along well. Later L. invited me to her friend's birthday party. I'd never met the birthday girl ("J.") before, but I figured why not?

Good thing I went! J., whose birthday was 6 months before mine, was quite a stunner (and still is). Though I was instantly smitten, I assumed she was out of my league; like most beautiful women, she appeared to have more than enough male attention already.

In fact it wasn't until three girlfriends later (awful of me, using relationships as a unit of measurement!) that it finally dawned on me that J. might be interested in being more than friends. I think she was accustomed to being chased, and her signals were just too subtle for this blockhead!

Looking back, it's probably just as well that it took as long as it did. A lot of success is in the timing.

Timing is everything...you have plenty of time for regrets if you pick the wrong one

As we say in my parts: Marry in haste, repent at leisure.

Pleased you made an excellent choice
