This is a long post so sit back with your lemonade :) I just want opinions :)

Okay. About 3 years ago, my best friend and I made friends with this woman named Dianna and her boyfriend Henry. We all hung out, got along, even though Dianna was neurotic and slightly nuts. Dianna and Henry broke up, Dianna started dating Jay.

We all didn't hang out as much until two summers ago, when my ex, Tony, lived here for a few months. We all D&Ded together. I had Tony, I loved Tony, but I always thought Jay was kinda cute :) Even though he kept his nose buried in a book :) In the D&D campaign, our two characters (my thief, his Shadowmage) hooked up.

Then Dianna and Jay stopped showing up. Cold. No calls, no notice, nothing. We finally got a hold of Dianna who said she was afraid we were mad about something inconsequential, and was scared to show. Dianna was nuts (tons of phobias, etc, etc) so we accepted this and all but forgot them.

This past Feb, I was working with this woman named Carole, who was dating Jay's friend. She mentioned that Jay and Dianna broke up, and he wanted to get back in touch with me. So I emailed him, he emailed me back, and the email was so warm and friendly that it scared me. Tony and I had just broke up a few months ago and I was busy being impersonal and not letting anyone into my life.

My computer crashed, I lost the email, and didn't try to get his address again.

Then, about 3 weeks ago, I get a call from my best friend. He and Jay have mended fences, and Jay's coming to the Renne Faire with us. He also told me the real story....he and Dianna stopped showing up because Jay made an offhand comment that he liked me, and Dianna refused to let him hang around me anymore.

Jay and I are dating now. We're both ridiculously happy with it, and this seems like "the one."

Now....if you guys are still reading :)....I'm thinking the Goddess is nudging me. Two years ago, when we were both seeing other people, it wouldn't have worked. We both had to grow up some. So we lost contact. In Feb it wouldn't have worked....I was emotionally shut down, he was suicidally depressed. I wouldn't even have had the emotional capacity to deal with that. So we lost contact.

Now, when we're both more mature and reasonably stable, we find each other again. I think I'm being nudged. What do you guys think?

Can I just take a moment to say hell yeah?

I was in a similar situation during the past couple years before I got together with my now fiance. To make a long story short, even though we both liked eachother we were both with other people and it took about a year before we both got to talk and found out how we felt. He finally had to end up dumping his girlfriend (tho he'd been trying to for years, she kept threatening to commit suicide) and move out of the apartment they had (tho he was still paying rent) and I had to move out of my boyfriend's house and back home and hope I could still make it to school somehow. I'm convinced there were things we both had to learn - not just that there were better mates out there for us, but also what we needed in a relationship, and for me that I had to be strong in myself. I think he had to learn that sometimes you have to put yourself first.

I'm really trying not to ramble ;) Whether your story was a nudge from your subconscious or someone else, who knows - no harm in seeing tho is there :)

I'll believe it too :) I am a big believer in synchronisity (coincidences). Synchronisity is the reason I am where I am today (well, part of the reason anyway *grin*)

I've seen that happened so many times! One woman I know married her best friend after 25 years and 4 kids & 2 divorces! They're so happy living in the forest somewhere. I say go for it & see where it goes. All the best to you both!
