New Blog: Am I Ready to Date? From Disturbing Conversations to the ‘Other’ Woman Excerpt: A month-and-a-half went by and I hadn’t heard from him but my loneliness and our great phone conversations made me miss him. I thought about the mutual friend we had on Facebook and I thought about calling her and if she says he’s a good guy, I will give him one more try and if she says he’s not, I will leave things as they are. This mutual friend had been a client of mine for many years and we became friends, which made me feel comfortable enough to get her advice. | | |
