suggestions wanted

Okay - here's the problem - finished with long term partner four months ago - there are certain things about him I'm missing (he was fifteen years younger than me) - I am not in the first flush of youth BTW - what can I do to resolve this problem? All answers on AB and not on a postcard please.

[anneasquith]

what are you missing most ?

[stewey]

My chips.

Get a rabbit : )

[carmalee]

albags - too many foxes around here I'm afraid - maybe some battery hens?

It's very difficult to impart advice without first knowing precisely what it is you are missing about your ex?

The conversation, the company, the other....?

[NoMercy]

JJ has a man! I think she just uses the gadgets for the inbetween days...

[Answerprancer]

I think I can guess what she's driving at - just socialise a lot Carmalee, go to as many parties/pubs etc. as you can - you never know what's round the corner.

[joeluke]

Maybe you should have thought about the things you'd miss before you finished with him

[carmalee]

NM must I take this to mean JJ has a Swiss army knife?

[anneasquith]

night classes, or a hobby................ answers most questions on AB

[NoMercy]

Well he is Swiss, I think... ??

[carmalee]

think this has backfired a bit on me - the original was posted very much tongue in cheek - thought it would promote a 'bit of banter but I got it wrong - sorry

[anneasquith]

carm. dont think banter is allowed on a saturday.

accept any and all invitations to absolutely anywhere. if you don't get asked, invite yourself. get yourself out and about as much as poss. as they say about the lottery (i think) - you have to be in it to win it. if you're ever going to stand a chance of meeting someone else then you have to put yourself about - in the nicest (or not) possible way.
if it's the other you're missing, get a gadget.

thanks for that annieasquith
