Oh...he's married.

Richard,

What can I say, you left me breathless and restless.

Thanks.

You are really looking for a special relationship and I can't even call you a cad at the moment (entirely).

Our meeting for me was entirely frustrating at best but its making me think and feel which I consider a good thing...no a great thing!

Pardon me in advance for whatever unsolicited advice I have to offer you. I do believe you will. (And I am wholly willing to accept your tutelage if you are so inclined)

Your story:

The logistics: married 20 years, two daughters settled and doing well in their teens in NY, you survived cancer, and you have tasted the thrill of success and also the low of misfortune.( !!!!)

I appreciate your candor and your leveled intelligence. I have no idea at this point how sexy you are and this has to do with you becoming human and real for me and I could not even fathom seducing/ being seduced by you given your circumstances.

Anyone who does given the truth of your situation has no relationship to their core.

I don't think you can find solace in that kind of endeavor.

Your Hodgkin's disease 11 years ago was a wake up call I agree but I think you are not fully interpreting the call.

Right now you call it "breaking rules". Which sounds to me more stressful and covert than just "making rules". Whether that means investing and re-creating the love you have or re-investing that energy in a new way. As far as I see right now you are on HOLD.

Making ends meet. That's not boring (as you described it) that's a choice.

Who am I? I have never been married, had children, and I don't have the career you have chosen which sounds very risky and perhaps stressful.

However, I have a very successful business doing what I love. Throughout the years I have cultivated a deep respect for intimacy (perhaps because I spent so much of my time single).

And I am a female in every way. I worship the Goddess and it is she that has me writing you at this moment.

I was disappointed in myself at first for even meeting with you. After the fact, I think we do have a purpose in having met.

I think we couldn't be more different from one another and yet alike in the same vein.

Here is the reading from your Sun card:

"Everything will be sunny and bright. Love, friendships, and relationships of all kinds are highlighted. It is a time to emulate the suns active, creative ability to realize new works of art and love. Be a dynamic, inspiring and influential leader whose light shines for all to see. Show the world who you are and what you have done. Express yourself so that everyone you encounter can feel your warmth."

I don't expect you to hook me up with your friends/ acquaintances. You have a lot on your plate and I can work that part of my life out.

I don't want to be the core less person who meets with you in the dark to make ends meet either.

Give me a higher position to express myself in your company and I just may rise to the occasion.

Thanks for the drinks and more significantly thanks for your company.

Warmly,

Vera
