“I can think of at least four other very happy couples I know personally”

I think we’re onto something. Clearly blogging is the new Railway Carriage. Can we sell the concept? The ideal way to meet a new partner?

I met my other half via an errant Hotmail. I live in Canada she was in University in Lyon at the time. We wrote for 7 mos, I abandoned my then relationship at the time, we wrote 4-5 times a day. I met her in the UK then in France she moved here after many 6 mos visits.
She goes back to France for Christmas every year I go back with her every second year. I speak “Pigin” French to her Family they grin and bear me because they love and respect her so much.
There is an 18 year age Gap between us No Kids alot of Love and Living is what we have between us. That is what Life is all about………

Mmmmm. There is something Romantic (capital R. see: Goethe)about a certain kind of epistolary relationship–throwing yourself out of your comfort zone in to the unknown. Much harder to do when you’re out running day-to-day errands: work, grocery, pay bills, buy gifts, plan dinner, have impetuous knee-weakening flirtation, pick up children at day care. Right.

As for the rest, the buddha said our lives would have ten thousand joys and ten thousand sorrows. Thank you for sharing yours.

Many respondents seem concerned about the wisdom of Petite’s selection of suitor from her inbox. Understandably so.
At 30 something plus, +?, Petite’s biological clock is ticking…… And ‘WE’ could not be expected to go through all this nerve-wracking trauma again!…….. all those sympathetic tears, time taken off tasks at work, near misses as we rush to & from work to catch the latest posting ……..in any case, the way the ‘entente cordiale’ is heading at present, Chirac way well decide to deport all ‘Les petites anglaise’ before long? Is there a solution? Perhaps Petite should allow us to exercise our democratic voice through another referendum …… respondents could vote for the in-box mailer whose prose is sufficiently eloquent to win Petite’s hand? To make it more fun, we could arrange the ‘Butte to Arc de Triomphe Handicap Steeplechase’ for the main contenders? How about this for the line up on present form:
Gary Savage 1:5 our clear favourite (but could be trampled on in the rush?)
Jim from Rennes 5:1 could manage a good sprint finish if not boxed in on the rails?
Andre 8:1 benefits from true French breeding – blood samples consistently demonstrate a 50% vin rouge mix
John Donne 50:1 Outsider, Well past his prime, but still capable of surprising us with his turn of phrase
Mancunian Lass Evens, After all Petite hasn’t declared her hand & mum has her suspicions!
Dead Heat – Tadpole gets to be umpire if its a photo-finish.
Any more runners to declare their hand before Starter’s Orders??
