Will do sunflower, thanks for everything you guys!

Time for an update my friends. I successfully completed my first semester of college in a long time last semester (fall 2010). Since I did so well I have signed up for a full load this semester and I am really enjoying it so far. My life has completely changed. I dropped the crappy people out of my life. I've made some new friends and I've gotten OVER the you know what. I am so grateful that she kicked me on my *** because my life has taken a complete 180.

I exercise regularly, take care of myself, and for the first time in a long time I have a great deal of self-confidence. So much so that I was able to get the number of a drop dead gorgeous girl up here at my college. We've been on one date and ended up talking for 5 hours! She's a very laid back, intelligent, driven individual. I thought she blew me off after the first date cause she said she was busy that week when I asked if she wanted to go out again. I gave her the benefit of the doubt although I purposely didn't contact her that week. She ended up contacting me the next week and asking me what I was up to! We are going out this Sunday and I'm looking forward to it.

So 88sunflower, talaniman, kaka67, kctiger, jmw0173 and to anyone I might have missed thank you so very much. I posted this update because I figured you guys like to see something positive and also to give hope to others going through something similar. Time heals all! It truly does and when you least expect it you run into someone like I did. All I did was help her change her headlight and bam date. Also, after what the ex did to me I no longer fear rejection. Not much short of kicking me in the balls will hurt too much. So I plan on taking things as they come to me and taking my time with this girl cause she really is a good prospect. Also, I plan on dating even more. You better shop around as they say. So again, thank you everyone! For the first time in a while I AM happy. Life is good.

I love it when an update is about successfully building a life the OP is enjoying and doing great.

Thanks for making our day.

Good stuff. Take it easy with the new girl. No pedestals!!

Don't forget to name your first born after AMHD!

(Kinda sounds like ADHD so maybe not :p)

You deserve it Tango. Keep your head on straight and remember to STUDY your butt off! While doing all that studying though, continue to have some fun, as you've earned it.

You have made my day as well.

That is wonderful news. Thank you for the update. Like others have said sometimes we never hear back. You stay strong, confident and keep going forward.

Awesome news bro. Good luck with the new girl!
