disco I don't think they'd take is as you fancying them, they'll probably just think you were being curious and a bit nosy...
You could even send a "Fancy seeing you here...! ;-) x" type message.
jesy I don't blame you for not going. You've had far too many negative influences around you. You need to start getting rid of them!!
Before I did take a gift, and I think she liked it. She thanked me and I got two lots of kisses anyway! 
superfly No, I suppose you're right, I don't. I think that if I expect the worst case scenario then anything better than that is a bonus, but at least I can't be let down!
We had some very deep and meaningful conversations while we were away. He is very honest about lots of things, even things that are uncomfortable to hear. So he doesn't just say things because he thinks they are what I want to hear - which I have a bit of an issue with because my exH lied to me about everything big and small because he only ever told me what he thought I wanted to hear rather than the truth. About everything, important or otherwise.
He told me that he wouldn't be unfaithful to me because he loves me. He said he would be lying if he said he never finds other women attractive and knows that I must find other men attractive too (I do, of course) but that he wouldn't do anything because he wouldn't want to hurt me or do that to me and because I'm too important to him. He said that if he ever did, then he would tell me because, even though he knows it would hurt me, he feels that I would have the right to make a decision about whether I still wanted to be with him or not. So I'm guessing that since my exH said he never looked at another woman and claims he found himself having an affair without realising it... then that's a positive. Right?
I mean, he could be talking bollocks and lying to me, but really, what would be the point? He's introduced me to his friends and family, and I've tried to dump him. I'm hardly 'easy'!
He was so lovely to me. I just think that he's worldly wise enough to know that just saying, "I love you and I don't even see other women" is a nonsense. He's called me on a couple of things that he was right about too
As he said, he's nearly 50, he's not a stupid kid anymore...
jarlin I think that, deep down, I'd secretly love a happily ever after too...
