Hi

At the gathering I shared that I had met a partner, someone to sit quietly at home, and adventure (locally) with — online. He does not like to travel, and has little funds to do so. I shared my status on our second date, which I often did with others. My feeling is — if I get a bad reaction, this is not someone who I want to spend time with. But it hurts initially. There were a few slaps across the face — figuratively. In fact, I was ready to give up. I was shifting my focus from partnership to someone to have an occasionally coffee with, when I met this guy. After talking to a few a women, who are scared by the prospect of online dating, and disclosure, I asked the guy, why he didn’t leave. He knows very little about HIV.
“You are so trustworthy. I trusted, immediately, that you wouldn’t hurt me.” So that’s my story. Does anyone else have one? I encourage women to get out and see if there is someone waiting for them. We feel like we have been waiting for each other for dos of our lives. Things are so easy between us. There is an energy that arises from relationships that doesn’t get aroused by anything else. If you want a relationship, imagine what is critically important, let other stuff go, and go for it. I want us all to be content.
Hugs from here. And I know that this is only applicable to some of us, but thought I would share.

but I have ceased to question stars and books;
I have begun to listen to the teachings
My blood whispers to me.”
