A quick story. I had a widowed aunt in her late 40's of average appearance. A girlfriend invited her to join her singles group. When my aunt showed up with her girlfriend she noticed and met a man there to whom she was quite attracted. Her girlfriend told my aunt to forget about dating him, that he had been with his girlfriend (who was also at the function) for 3 or 4 years. Well, the next day my aunt got a call from the fellow. They ended up getting married. Their marriage lasted until he died in his nineties. So, one never knows...

That is a wonderful story. It kind of puts all of the ups and downs, that I've seen in the various posts, of being single in TV into perspective. Life - no matter where you live - is what you make of it. Thanks
