Ok, the time has come to delve down into history. Soon after I got my computer and learned how to use it I had my yahoo messenger set up. I hadn't been on a computer that much and I didn't know what the heck I was doing!
Ok, so soon after getting on the computer I met boyfriend or BF#1 and BF#2. BF#2 was just a "chat friend" at the time and he lived in England.
BF #1 was chatty on line. I can't remember all the details but I know he made me laugh. He was about 5-6 years younger than me. We chatted online for a short time and then went to phone calls. Within a month I was making my first trip to see my "online date." He lived 5 hours away and I was going downstate to meet him. The online people highly discourage that kind of meeting. They want you to meet in a public place in case he is a creep or something. After chatting with BF#1 and talking to him on the phone I felt I knew enough.
We had exchanged pictures and wow, was he real? He was gorgeous. I still have his picture in my car somewhere. He used to model and acted in Hollywood. In fact he was in the movie Robin Hood Men in Tights. He told me others but I can't remember. He was gorgeous and down to earth. I couldn't figure out why he didn't have a girlfriend. I still haven't.
With his lawnmower he had spelled out my name in the grass the day I came down. He had a purple house (my favorite color). What more could a girl ask for? Gosh, he made me laugh. Also, the master of foreplay, which he proudly admits and should!
We had made a pact that when I turned 50 (I was 42 at the time) if neither of us were with a partner we would get together. I reminded him of that around my 50th birthday and darn, he was taken. He remembered our "deal" and we had some laughs about it.
After a few more trips downstate over the course of a couple months it was over. I wanted more than he wanted to give. He never would come up to visit me and that irritated me. I worked 50 hours a week, took care of my children and drove 5 hours to see him on weekends.
As much as I liked BF#1, it just didn't work out. He's a friend to this day. I've told him if he ever needs me I am here and I think he would be there for me if I asked. It wasn't the outcome I wanted but I got a friend out of it.
Now BF #1 was a true gentleman but you can't always be that lucky. I have a short story I could tell about a very bad experience that threatened my life but just briefly mentioning it should be enough. Out of respect to my friend who helped me I will keep that one under wraps.
