"I've fallen and I can't get up..." I don't know why it is taking me so long to fall out of love. Far longer than it took me to fall in. When we first met, I was initially cautious and had no intention of allowing my emotions to get involved beyond initial attraction and enjoying … Continue reading Confessions – Fall Out

“Maybe I should get a checklist”
She says that she does not look for anything particular in a man: “Maybe I should get a checklist – I’ve never had one. But love always redefines itself, doesn’t it?

As opposed to, … Continue reading “Maybe I should get a checklist”
