Pat, I'm glad your date went as well as it did, but what's wrong with keeping him as a friend to go out with? At least, I would.

Wishing you the best with Bill. I've been on that ride myself. It was the greatest while it stayed on "the box" but it came crashing down with a loud thud when it came to face to face.

All the best, possitive, heart-felt thoughts for your meeting. May all your best dreams come true.
