There's no doubt now. Thank you. Of all the things that trouble me, not knowing has to be the worst. Give me the straight goods, and I can make decisions. It's just that simple.
> Does your sweetheart post on this site?
That is nobody's business. Sorry.
> Please assure her/or him (I hate to be presumptious) that I am one of the many who really care about you, Larry Hoover.
That was funny in a sweet kind of way. The him/her bit. I don't have any prejudice that way when I think of others, but I'm not used to getting that back from others.
> As I said in another post you have won my heart. I am loyal and true. My favorite relationships are platonic. I can be faithful (as in a full relationship) to one person at a time....and at this time it's my bubby...
Thanks for adding the extra conditions upon which winning your heart applies.
> ....I wouldn't want to have to just not talk to you at all.
That situation depended on other answers you've given me, and no longer applies. We can be friends.
> I hope that you can still talk to me????!!!!!!
> I would never hurt anyone....I hope to have you as my friend.See above.
