...and I know you are all aware I mean that in the very best way.
I realize there's maybe six people out there, tops, who even GAF about this; but it's still easier to post this than send out individual messages. LoL
I'm stepping away from all of this. At least for now, hopefully for good. I've met someone incredibly special, and we're crazy about each other. I am not throwing shade at anyone else in any way when I say that this has always been a single-guy thing for me, and I've always known it would stay that way. It's pretty early in the relationship, but it looks solid. For the first time in my life, it feels like I have a chance to be happy with someone. I know it's a chance, but that's life.
I'm sure a lot of you are thinking "he'll be back." I can't see the future, but I'll say don't hold your breath. And don't take this the wrong way but, I really hope not.
I want to say thank you to the wonderful women I've met here. You're all awesome! And you did more for me than you probably realize.
Thank you to the community at large! All the tons of information on the boards, the reviews, and back channel, always helped me and served me well. It's why I had no negative experiences. Sure, there were some "misses" that were certainly not repeatable, but no truly bad experiences. Thanks everybody. I've made some friends here. You know who you are and I appreciate you. Perfectstorm, you da man.
Goodbye, good luck, and have fun out there!
