So, I know that it has been a few days, but I have been busy with my friend Mike who is here from Hawaii. It has been a fun and relaxing week.
Well, tonight we went to a bar called Good Company. There were a lot of people there and a lot of pretty women (I am married, not gay). Anyway, one particular young lady caught Mike's eye. He wanted to know what to do.
You see, Mike dated the same girl all through college. He was in a very stable and very comfortable relationship, and he was quite content. The sad thing is was his girlfriend was a little bit crazy. As expected by a lot of his friends, things went South with his g.f.. Mike never really had gotten over her, and up until tonight he was hanging on to the thought that there was still a chance.
I am so glad that we went out to that bar tonight. Mike and I talked about a lot of things. I did a comparison with him that I wish someone would have done with me... I compared him to the other guys in the bar including me. He is stable, caring, hardworking, has a job and would love someone beyond their wildest imaginations. In short, he has more to offer any girl in the bar than the next guy.
When I said that it was as if something changed in him. He had a bit of confidence. He actually went up and introduced himself, including handing out a business card with contact information on it. He then proceeded to go to the bathroom.
In the mean time I was sitting back in awe. This quiet shy guy was over his ex, in a very real way. He was able to do something I never was... introduce himself in person to someone he felt was attractive (my wife an I are an internet success story). I was floored.
I think that the best thing is that even Mike felt like he had turned a corner in his life. He was free from the curse of his ex, and was able to move on. I think we all know that not much could come out of meeting this girl, but at least he took that step...
He was all growed up!
I will be posting more refularly again, hopefully, soon.
Prayers,
Pisio

My husband and I are also an internet success story. We met online in Nov 2003 and were married in Hawaii in June 2004.
The only thing that sucks for internet dating...I'm sure he said he was rich and handsome (he says I told him I had big breasts and could cook!) Guess we got our wires crossed somewhere in cyber ;)
I met a lot of people online, but only one I would have thrown everything away to move to Canada for, but Thank God it didn't come to that because I ended up falling in real companionship love for the first time in my adult life with someone that lived a couple blocks away from me.
I'm very happy to hear your friend is coming out of his shell, that's great.
I like this post. I;m glad your friend built up the courage to go up to the lady. It might not work out, but t least he'll have the nerve to meet more girls and put himself out there.
You were a pretty good friend to him. Some people forget how great the are, and it really helps for someone to mention the obvious.
wow u & ur wife met over the internet! just started talking to a guy over the internet. were meeting up this week [fingers crossed]
I guess things work differently for people. Things happen for a reason, and perhaps you were meant to meet your wife that way, otherwise, how? She was way on the other end of the earth and you were on the other. Who would be there to help? The Superfriends? *pats on your back. I'm glad you're there for your friend. And whatever success in life or whatever anyone has achieved doesn't make another person more than anyone, neither you have to fell that you are less the person he has become. You're one great person Brian, and for me you are a success in your own way.
He sounds like a pretty cool guy.
