The search goes on.

Misty and I went out on our second date and overall we had a blast. I'll spare you the details but I truly believed we had fun. I sent her an e mail this morning and below is the reply I received

Anthony,

I was going to call you but the next few days are really hectic so I know I won’t have the chance and since you sent this, I guess I will respond this way. I thought about this last night and this morning and I think I need to be totally honest with you.

I had a nice time last night and I appreciate everything, but it really was too much. Definitely way more than I felt comfortable with. The show would have been just about the right amount and even that was a little much for where I felt we were.

I appreciate the flattering email, but I just do not feel that we have potential for being more than friends. I am sorry. I appreciate your efforts and for wanting more, but it just is not there for me. I know that we do have a lot in common and I do enjoy visiting with you, but, for me, there has to be more to it than that and I just am not feeling that more. I am sorry.

Thank you again for everything.

Peace and Blessings,

Misty

So, when all is said and done, the search continues. I would really like to continue being friends with Misty if that is at all possible. That's something we'll talk about (hopefully) after she's done celebrating her birthday with her friends over the weekend.

Life can deal you some cruel blows at times, and the only thing you can do is to pick yourself up and keep going and NEVER give up. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel and no, it's not always an approaching train!
