Honestly I genuinely feel blessed to be here, and thanks for the compliment Roger.      

That is some Uncle Jesse style wisdom there Roger, l appreciate it. And it’s true what you say too. I’m not the type to fall that easily anymore, I was as a teenager. Fast and furious, but these days I take it a tad slower. (Age 22, soon to be 23) 

My heart goes out to you Hobie.. Divorce is quite prevalent unfortunately, my family knows that one all to well with a brother of mine. Fact is, he had been with her a while. Even had kids, but she got wandering on the other side of the fence, thinking the grass was greener… Long story short, even the most solid marriages can have cracks by times.. I grew up with them dating when I was a baby, and then getting married when I was a kid.  Anywho.  Well I’ve taken an interesting approach so far, I’m not really sure at the moment so I’m just taking it easy, when I was at my local Boars Nest this week I did start an interesting conversation with a lady over a pool table, kinda scoped out the situation and bought her a beer too.    But yeah, it’s little interactions like that, that I’m starting out with. See who clicks and who vibes. Dating almost seems a lot like fishin, though sometimes it’s the ladies that reel us in ain’t it?

I married too young and it didn't last. But my second wife and I are are closing in on 30 years of marriage and still deeply in love. So I guess Hobie is right. You are flipping a coin. That's why it's not something you should rush into....even if you can tell on the first date that it's the person you want to be with forever. You need at least a year together before proposing. And even that is no guarantee of long term success if you marry.
