Ican, what a sweet story, thank you for sharing. I think starting out as friends is for the best. I had a wonderful time today. We went for a long drive and stopped for coffee and talked. We talked more over dinner and I found myself wondering why I had never looked at this man in this light before. The best part is he already knew about my gambling addiction, I had told him about it and he had witnessed it many many years ago. He told me tonight that he has no interest in going to the casino and would certainly never ask me to go there. What I really liked was that he opened and closed the car door for me and offered me his arm when we were walking so I did not slip on the snow. It was nice to be treated like a lady, it has been a long time. I think it would be funny if I have been looking for my prince for so long and he was sitting right there under my nose the whole time. Anyways, tomorrow is a busy day, watching my granddaughter for most of the day, then a session with my one on one counsellor from Problem Gambling, then grocery shopping. I love it when my day is planned out and it is busy (keeps the urges away). Debbie
