One Wants to Talk More. Wow!
[This one-in-a-million woman responded positively to my wink. She wants to know me, in spite of the long distance between us. So I responded as follows:]
Hi Mary.
Thanks for writing back !
You don’t mind things being “long distance” in the beginning? I thought we could get acquainted in email for a bit, then on the phone, and all the while exchanging LOTS of pictures. We might even try a video webcam conversation sometime or sending each other audio cassette tapes or CDs. We could watch TV programs together that we both can pick up at the same time, over the phone, like presidential press conferences, network sitcoms, and such. After some months of that, once we both feel comfortable, we could visit each other. I’ve been to Florida twice and loved it both times (Orlando).
Long distance relationships, admittedly, aren’t the ideal way to meet. But they can (and often do) work between people who are fiercely dedicated to moving heaven and earth to be with their soul mates. I am committed to that, and dream of her often. In fact, coming across my dream girl is my top priority in life. More important than anything else, including where I live. If fortune brings her into my midst, I will, if necessary, relocate to live with her as long as certain conditions are met, which I’ll reveal in time.
LDRs can work between people of good conscience and who are truthful with one another from the start. I promise that I’ll never lie about what I have, what I’ve done, or what I plan to do. You’d always know where you stand with me. I’ve never cheated on any woman, and though I’m not Christian, I espouse most of the values described in the Bible – particularly those found in the Book of Proverbs.
Now understand that I’m not looking to rush into anything. I’ve been alone for some time, and it will take me some time to adapt to having a sweetie in my life again. But it’s an adaptation I’d gladly make for the right lady, no matter where she is.
So, if you’d care to talk further, let me know. I’ll enjoy writing to you.
Talk to you soon,
Tom Hesley
