Omg, I want to cry... I'm freaking out so much. (its a good freakout!)


Ok,
Back in 1993 I was in Florida on vacation and for the first and only time ever in my life I made eye contact with a man and saw fireworks. We started talking and his english accent made me melt. We spent the entire week together, until we both had to go home. For the next almost 7 years we would email and call back and forth, of course moving on and living our lives. We were young and totally smitten with eachother, but neither of us were willing to take the plunge and move to another country just based off one week. We were crazy about eachother, but not stupid!


We both continued on with our lives.. he got married, and once I got got married we decided to cut contact. I've tried to find him several times, and I just for some ungodly reason typed his name into face book and there he was. A face I totally didn't even recognize! He in no way looks anything like he used to, and darn if he isn't still married. LOL.. shame on me for wishing a divorce on someone haha.


I sent him a msg, and got one back.. we're both in wow mode trying to catch up right now. Holy cow I can't sleep!

Oh how crazy fun, to get back in touch with an old friend!


But I wonder... what would his wife think if she found out he is talking with a woman from his past? And you are thinking of 'what might've been' with him? I know it's all innocent and all that... but still.


I'm such a party pooper sometimes. Maybe I need that can of Poop Freeze...

lol you guys!


I have old discs where I saved pictures and emails and chats and such. I refuse to read any of the text docs because thats not where my head needs to be with a married man. Agreed!!!


We've had about five emails back and forth and he had not stepped out of line in any way. So hopefully this will just be two people who were good friends catching up.


As for the blueprint.. he's been my dating blueprint for longer than you can imagine :/


Ok, so I thought you guys would get a kick out of this.. check out the difference in this pic! LOL. I told you I aged better! lol. I swear if he were single though... as I said... he could look like Shrek and I'd still be swooning haha.

OK What the hell is going on in the "after" picture? Is he chewing on his goggles? That's a wierd picture! I seriously had to LOL....


He was a cutie once though! Just think. If you married him then you, too would have been married to the balding goggles chewing guy.


lol! Just kidding with you. I know what you mean by being in love and not caring about looks when its a connection kind of thing.

LOL... about the before and after... I'm such a visual person and have to be with someone who visually turns me on ...


my first husband started as a Brandon Frazier but turned into Dilbert in ONLY 5 YEARS... what rip off! He lost his hair, and gained 80 lbs, but he also turned sarcastic and a selfish jerk... so put it all together and NEXT. But if he remained good looking i might have put up with the selfish jerk thing ya know... My second husband was a hottie... but too bad he turned abusive drug addict.. sigh...


for my third, i'm holding out for hottie, kind, and RICH.. lol.. i mean, i've been on my own for this long WHY wouldn't i hold out for the best. (actually, why wait for the all in one, i've been enjoying a little here and a little there.. lol.. just kidding... kinda)


It's nice to find an old sweetheart.. i think it's nice to hear that they've remembered you... I'm in touch with my all time sweetheart but i've also looked up a couple more.. just to see "where are they now"...
