Oh No, please do not misconstrue my posting. I am not looking for anyone, I absolutely adore and love my "sometime" Big Fat Greek Boyfriend. My friends have been trying to keep me from running back to him because they want me happy so they encourage to go out. Today I realized it is God's will that Nick and I get together. I swear God brought me to him so I can help him and vice versa. I just have to show him that he truly makes me feel wonderful and we are good together. We have not seen each other for a few weeks, I was sitting in my car at a traffic light and I touched my leg. I did not shave my legs this morning and I thought about Nick. He picked on me all the time when my legs were stubby at the end of the day and I laid next to him. I wondered if he missed the stubble rubbing against his legs. Our song was playing in my CD player and as I was watching for the light to change he turned left into the parking lot of the shopping center I was waiting to exit. I did some major obsticle course driving and turned around and went back to the store I had just left. I went up to him and said some people claim you meet the sexiest people in the grocery store. Of course I expressed my love for him and how much I care for him, and how much I miss him. I still do not know where I stand, he thinks we are not right for each other and I do, even though he loves and cares for me too. I cried the entire way back to work. Sorry, about this post I guess I needed to get it off my chest. My original posting was more about the amount and quality of offers I am getting now. Hey where were these guys when I was fat? Probably still under the rock. I just find it amazing that post surgery men would not talk to me, now they are quite bold. Thanks for letting me digress. Lori
