HI, I HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WITH A MAN WHO I USED TO WORK WITH. WE HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A YEAR AND A HALF NOW. HE IS A GREAT GUY AND COMPLETELY SMITTEN BY ME. ALL OUR WORK FRIENDS TELL ME TO BE WITH HIM AND THAT HE IS A GREAT GUY. HE IS 44 AND I AM 35 WHICH I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH AND THE FACT THAT I FEEL NO ATTRACTION FOR HIM. I THINK WE ARE BETTER JUST AS FRIENDS. THE THING IS THIS, I HAVE BEEN IN PRAYER ABOUT THIS AND SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN PRAYER I AM REMINDED OF A MAN, WHO I CALL "THE ONE WHO GOT AWAY" THIS WAS THE FIRST MAN THAT I MET AFTER MY EX HUSBAND AND I SPLIT. I DATED HIM FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS AND THEN I BLEW IT! HE HAD A FAMILY EMERGENCY AND I WAS VERY WORRIED ABOUT HIM BECAUSE HE DID NOT CALL ME SO I CALLED HIM MANY, MANY TIMES WHILE HE WAS OUT OF TOWN. I HAD NO IDEA, I JUST KNEW THAT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIM NOT CALLING. NEEDLESS TO SAY HE MOVED ON AND THEN ABOUT A YEAR OR SO LATER HE CAME BACK TO ME, SAID HE HAS ALWAYS THOUGHT OF ME AND WANTED TO GET TOGETHER, SO WE DID. THAT LASTED A SHORT TIME AND THEN WE JUST DRIFTED. HE ALWAYS SEEMED EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE. THEN LATER ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR PASSE AND WE REUNITED AGAIN. HE TOOK ME TO THE PLACE WE HAD OUR FIRST DATE, IT WAS VERY ROMANTICE TO ME AND EH OPENED UP LIKE NEVER BEFORE, SAID HE KNEW HE HAD TO MAKE A CHANGE FOR ME TO CONSIDER HIM AGAIN. SO THAT FADED OUT AGAIN AS WELL. I THINK ALL ALONG THE TIMING HAS BEEN OFF. ANYWAY SO NOW AS I PRAY ABOUT THIS NEW FRIEND OF MINE I AM REMINDED OF MANNY! OH HOW I WANT MANNY IN MY LIFE. I NEED PRAYER TO DECIPHER WHY HE IS IN MY THOUGHTS AND IF I SHOULD PERSUE IT. HE DID PERSUE ME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. I AM ASKING FOR GOD'S FAVOR IN ONE MORE CHANCE WITH MANNY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
