Hi Jay - I haven't read all the posts in this 'thread', however, I'd like to share that I think the very bestest relationship is one founded on friendship. And what better place to make a friend than doing something you love doing. Unless you love hanging at bars, obviously the bar scene is 'forget it'.
After my former husband left me, I was feeling pretty much like damaged goods. A dear friend said to me, 'You might be missing the forest for the trees. Look at the people you already know.'
As things turned out, my husband, Craig & I met while out with mutual friends, at the friend's daughter's birthday skiing party. We had fun, kept skiing together & gradually it grew to feeling more close & viola - 3 years later we were married. That was 9 years ago & we have a lovely happy marriage. Once the in-love-magic mellowed, (which it always does in my opinion) we had that wonderful friendship to fall back on. Might sound corny, but he's my bestest friend!
Good luck, Jay. Kath
