I can't write all the details again now, but I am in the States and I love NC and love wilmington and I think that I might have hit the jackpot in finding a man that could be the man of my life. I'm not in love yet, not yet, and I have to remind myself that looks are not that important(blond, blue eyes. I don't date blondes. He's goodlooking and succesful, but I just love the dark hair verses light. Picky? Maybe, but now it's being overlooked. This man is a darling, he thinks that I'm the cats meow and I swear carma, god, whatever, whoever put us together.
I interviewed with him as my potential boss. Yes, that is how we FIRST met. My cousin put us together. We were introduced and we interviewed for future positions and got along super great. We didn't want to leave the conversation. I told him that i wanted to go to the beach and I hadn't and he offered to take me and I did turn him down, even tho I didn't want to, but he was being polite, because he was ill with the flu. He said he'd find me a job, because he felt strangely very connected to me (LONG STORY) as if he's been waiting for me and thought he could help me. All on a very friendly level, that was it. We separated, no more contact.... UNTIL a week later:
I flew to Texas and had this guy on my mind. Sunday I decided to try and join match.com and when I checked out my matches, he was not only my number one match, but he was also a NEW member. When I wrote him and said Hi, he said he had JUST JOINED, like I DID and that he had this feeling he had to get online and had to join. So had I!!! He said he couldn't get me out of his mind, but we were supposed to be professional at the interview, so we both acted professional. Yet, both of us were thinking the whole time of each other. Since then we are just totally happy. He's doing the whole job search and setting stuff up and I'm confident things will go really well. My cousin loves him like a brother. They are really close and she met her husband online. So we both just hooked up very strangely through my cousin and then the internet. He says it's fate. Of all the internet sites??? Ok, what is the chance of that???? One in a million?

Thoughts?

Love you all and will update in a few days again, when I can.

Catherine!! There you are - we were wondering how you are doing.

I am glad to hear you enjoyed your trip to the states. I was wondering if you had talked to your ex yet.

Anyway, with regards to this one, you know that only time will tell. Go slow, darlin'!! And you will be okay.

When do you think you will move here?

I was thinking about you as I was falling asleep last night, wondering where you were and what you were up to. Then I realized you were probably on your trip and not near a computer. I'm glad you could give us an update.

My mom says (and I think this is a quote from somewhere because I recall someone posting about it on here too)... that people come into our lives for a reason, some for a short time and some for a long time. This guy might be 'the one' or he might be 'the one you need in your life right now' and only time will tell. In any case, that is a really weird story and it does sound like the two of you have a very good connection!

I am glad you like the area, are you definitely moving there? When? Did you find a job? You aren't going to work for this guy are you? Is he just a head hunter or an employer?

AAAAAAHHHHH! What a crazy story! Your posts never fail to be interesting Cat and I'm glad you're back! Wish you were a bit closer so we could get together for coffee but I'm up here in NY and NC is just too far for me. (Actually, anything further away than 45 min is usually too far for me.)

Have a wonderful, wonderful trip and a wonderful romance and don't be a stranger. Post when you can and give us lots of juicy details. Take care.

Amy

welll, I'm very happy and things have been really great for me. Very strange, but very good. I am going to take it easy, but it's a little hard. I've really flipped for this guy and it's the same vice versa. Neither of us has dated in almost a year, or he in over a year, so we are both very aware of how we feel. After his divorce he went through therapy and spoke to his pastor about things at church and went through lots and lots of healing, I think that is really cool. He is very successful and I think he has a great head on his shoulders. He's open and he's funny and he's not my type, because he's stable. I always pick the losers with no jobs that want to suck me dry. He is anything but that. Very sweet. Oh and he has blond hair blue eyes, he isn't the knock out gorgeous muscle guys I date. I don't date blonds. Or I have maybe twice, and I don't date men that aren't buff and who make me look twice. He's an average good looking nice respectable guy. Soooo that will tell you something. I am looking at things differently. lol.
