Simon, I'm glad your brother has found a place of his own and I hope his departure will make it easier for your healing process. I also hope he will find the help he obviously needs too.. perpetrators are sick minded indivuals who need therapy too.

I know you are lonely and need companionship but you must try not to go into something with the negativity. Women can sense that sort of thing.... I say go with your instinct.

When the time is right.. maybe when you let on that you are leaving the company would be a good time to ask her for her phone number so you can keep in touch and then take it from there.

You need to believe in yourself a little more.. the measure of a man is not in the friends he has...and when a woman gets to know you for who you are she will care for you because of that.. not because of how many friends you have. .or if you drive or not.

And if this isn't the woman.. another one will come along one day and see you as we here at PC see you.... with loving eyes and hearts...

Hugs.. Faith.
