    First up: to the prospective flamers, please go back to the Troll forum - I'm posting here because this is the Club, a civilised place to share your news with friends.

    Secondly, for the information of my good friends in SA, I have been dating a wonderful young woman for about a month now, and my inability to concentrate, churning stomach when I think about her, matching value sets, our chemistry, etc. tells me that something very special is developing. I won't call it "love" quite yet, but it's well on the way to being so...

    Some of you know that I have been single for about two years following a difficult breakup with a girl that, for a long time, I thought I should have married. Those feelings faded this year (thankfully!), and now I've finally met someone who makes me feel special again, and at the same time adds energy to my life and inspires me to be a better man. Two years alone doesn't like very long, especially given that I've lived most of my adult life alone, but the big hole in my life was really getting to me. Well, now that's all gone and I feel totally renewed!

    She's an amazing woman in so many ways and best of all she seems to dig me. She certainly understands me pretty well, and that's crucial, and so difficult to find. Really, I haven't been this happy in years... in fact, I'd forgotten what it is like to totally connect with a woman the way we have, and what a wonderful revelation it is! Also, she is looking to be posted overseas (probably the Pacific or Asia), I finish my Masters in February, and if things continue to develop between us I'll follow her wherever she goes, which is yet another exciting prospect. Have to wait and see on that one.

    Anyway, just thought that some of you might like to know that. This pretty much sums up how I've been feeling lately:

    Is Ruff really an Aussie, or another mouse troll?

    Congratulations, Matt. I'm glad you are at least moving past that other relationship.

    Looks like my advice worked. Congrats.



    Asia or the Pacific? You need to get her to the US.

    Lance - You are the best of the new trolls, by far.

    Thanks Kori. I think I have been over the last relationship for a while, but in my darker moments of the last year or so I always wondered whether I made a mistake there. I feel like that has finally been put to rest...

    I knew I really liked my new gal when, after our first (lunch) date, although nothing remarkable had happened, I found myself skipping for a few steps as I walked back to my car, and smiling inanely (I'm not someone who smiles all the time). At that moment I knew something was going on!

    The scary thing is that we almost missed that lunch date - we'd agreed on 12.30 Friday, and she told me only to contact her if I couldn't make it, so I didn't confirm. On the Friday morning she sent me a text on my phone, but my stupid Nokia box didn't display it and sent it straight to my inbox. At 12.45 I sent her a message saying that I was still waiting, then she called me. By that point I was really depressed (I have had a number of misfortunes involving women of late), and I was ready to call it off, but she said she was already there and I turned around and there she was! The morals of the story - screw Nokia phones, and always confirm regardless of cir stances.

    Yup, thanks pal, you rock!

    As for the US, true, but she's into development work so I doubt it. However, the US is a lot closer to Fiji or the like than Aus, so at least it's a step in the right direction!

    No, it's making a mockery of another race's language, and I don't find it "hilarious" at all. I find it offensive.

    That sort of "humour" may have been "funny" in the 70s, but now it ain't cutting the mus , at least not IMHO.

    Fer sake, there's more to life than sex, and because I respect the person I'm talking about I will neither confirm nor deny your facile suggestions. That stuff is no-one's business but hers and mine.

    I can get laid any time. However I very rarely meet a woman who makes me feel like this.

    I now regret this thread. I thought people might like to discuss the subject of love and springtime/autumn and the process of falling for someone, but no, it has already degenerated into a discussion of whether I got laid or not, even though we are in the Club, not the Troll forum.

    ST is far superior during the NBA season when people don't have too much time on their hands.

    Ruff I like you and all, but come the on. You posted this in the Club and you haven't gotten put down or anything of that sort but you have to expect some ribbing when you post something about love in a forum dominated by tesosterone. This isn't Oprahtalk dude.

    Congrats on your new relationship though, and here's to hoping for lots of good sex to come.

    peace.

    Fair call Manny, peace indeed.

    Still, why must men be so sex-oriented? Maybe I'm actually a lesbian..?

    Cool, Ruff. Good on ya man, I'm in a similar situation at the moment. Except we are complete opposites in everything but personality, but somehow its working out despite her being from a completely different culture and is religious as well as younger. It's amazing and great.

    The Aussies are going good at the moment

    Great to hear, mate. Cross-cultural relationships can be challenging, but as long as you are patient and try to understand each other, and communicate openly and honestly when you don't, the barriers can be negotiated and bring you together even more strongly. At least that was my experience with my Japanese girlfriend.

    It constantly amazes me how bringing the right person/people into your life can totally change your perspective. It's also a great relief to know that, once you've been in love, it can happen again - I was starting to doubt that...

    What I know from my last relationship is that if we do continue to grow closer to the point where we are integral to each other's lives and ready to give forever a try, I won't mess it up this time... or at least I'll try really hard not to mess it up... (there are never any guarantees)
