I am definitely not alone in many ways. I have family, friends and a lot of social outlets. However, I have come to accept that I am probably not going to be successful in the sphere of romance and dating. I hope events prove me wrong someday.

Glad to be back, Kraftie! I have been very busy and haven't been on the site for a while. I was feeling really depressed about one of my Toastmasters clubs, which seems to be finally at an end. I hope now to get something new started.

You’re a woman of substance.

Don’t preclude for yourself the possibility of romance.

Thank you, Isabella! Great to hear from you!

It has been a difficult time with the imminent demise of one of my Toastmasters clubs. A friend and I have been working hard to save it, but now we are trying something new instead. Fortunately, I am in another club that is fun and thriving.

In other good news, Nadal and Istomin are doing great in tennis. Rafael Nadal is in the final in Acapulco and Denis Istomin is in the semis in a Challenger in Columbus, Ohio! Hope they both win!

I once attended a distant event just to meet a couple who were also going. They had both given up on ever meeting a partner, but then they reached for the same book in a store and were still talking two hours later, so they changed their minds. I also have a pen-pal who complained of former wives, and had another marriage during our friendship in which I thought he was rather hopeless, but now he seems to have found the perfect partner.

One might hope in a more ideal world . Glad to know these kind of things stil happen.
