hi RSWF,
i learned long ago not to sit and wait and hope. i would never have had the blissfully happy marriage i had to my Belgian husband if i had not packed up a bag and returned to the town where we met, without a reservation, knowing we were meant to be. he was SO happy to see me, but i know he never would have called and asked me to come! sometimes a little "push" is a good thing, when you are sure! i think i know to whom you refer and i wish you all the best!
