daphne Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I had been a little down on being tired of online dating and dating in general and was possibly feeling slightly sorry for myself last week. I've dated a lot but still haven't found the glove that fits my hand. I've found a lot of lost socks though, I will say. This weekend, a guy who I've been avoiding contact with sat down next to me at a poker game. He's a fairly long term acquaintance that was part of a couple that I knew. I once teased him that if he didn't marry her, he wouldn't find a hot young one like that again. He was a quiet guy, very sweet, if he does take poker a little seriously. I had avoided looking at him because I have an involuntary urge to cry and he can sense it. I try to act normal, but I have a pained expression. His gf, then wife made it to the alter to exchange vows and was rushed from the wedding ceremony to a hospital. She died not much later of a brain tumor. It was like a lifetime movie. What can you possibly say to someone like that? I have no words. I am often the one the guys at the poker table will open to about their gf's and wives. I do not know what to say to him. And I want to comfort him. But I selfishly don't because I can't handle it myself. My problem finding a good guy that I'm compatible with seems pretty damn minor in comparison. He found what appeared to be the perfect one for him and he has to start all over again. I am not recreating history here when I say they were a well matched and sweet couple. I'm not sure which is worse. Having found someone perfect for you and losing them too quickly, or never having found that person at all.
