I'm good. Much better than before. I had a few meltdowns, but I'm getting along just fine. L never tried to contact me, so I guess that is where it stands. I think I finally found closure and it is with your help. The posts that you all made really helped me to get here. As I mentioned before, I hope you can help her and let her know that I will always keep an open door for her if she ever wants to reach out to say a proper goodbye. I know she will never see this.

This weekend was pivotal to my return to confidence. I was in a department store and there was this beautiful young Hispanic woman in a black dress with a perfect body working behind the counter. I had purchased something and she rang me up for the purchase.

I decided to perform an experiment. I returned the item I purchased and exchanged it for something else. She performed the return and we continually smiled at each other. She didn't take any of my information for the return, and I stated to her, "Oh. I was hoping that you would have taken my phone number for the return." She looked into my eyes and her smile grew wider as did mine, and she said, that I can return myself anytime that I wanted. She then went on to tell me that she works every Friday to Sunday. To leave a little bit of mystery, without asking for her contact info, I told her that I will be by next weekend to say hello. I owe it all to you guys in helping me get some closure and get my confidence back.

Thanks very much!
