| 2009-11-22 | jim | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thank you for being strait up honest. perhaps I should re-evaluate why I care to see her smile. I know that when I was down several years ago a lesbian friend of mine helped me get my life back on track, and I would like to help my new friend get her life back on track, she really is a great person and I hope whatever trials she is going through pass soon, I hope I can be there for her. |

| 2009-07-09 | Ann | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Hi Lena Thank you very much for your response. I think part of me isn't ready to let go but as the days go by and I don't see her, the wanting will diminish I am hoping. I can imagine all of the things that you mention in your response and I have thought about them many many many times. Waking up with her in the morning would be the highlight of my life. I have fallen very hard (harder than ever before). |
