New here and falling hard
« on: October 18, 2013, 05:52:32 PM »
So I found this site because I was Googling.  I met a great Englishman on Facebook about a year ago simply because of our Camaros, yes he's got a 70s Camaro in England.  How cool is that?

Anyways, he's 47 and I'm 33.  I think I'm falling in love with this man.  We talk everyday and I can't stop thinking about him when we aren't talking.  I've had several dreams about him and it's not common for me to dream about men.

He is going through some tough times right now.  His last girlfriend, an American on the east coast, cheated on him and is getting married at the end of this month.  Sadly, I don't think he's over her yet and I think it's been a year. 

I do know he's attracted to me and he knows I'm attracted to him.  He knows I really like him, but doesn't know how much just yet.  We've talked about visiting eachother, but he doesn't want to till he's ready for a relationship, which I understand and respect.  I just wish I knew how long that was going to be.  I've tried dating other guys to take my mind off him, but it just doesn't work.  After the date is over all I can think about his him. 

Anyways, Hi!

Welcome!  My favorite car I've ever had was a 1995 Z28.  When Car & Driver reviewed the mid-90s Z, they said, "When you step on the gas, have a good idea of where you're going, because you're going to be there soon."   :)

You very occasionally see US cars like Camaros and Mustangs over here, but they're rare - I see Ferraris more often.  There's a car lot that specializes in US muscle cars in West London which we pass whenever we go to visit my wife's best friend.  I always want to stop and see how much a Camaro would be.

Well my friend may end up selling his 79 for around 7,000 lbs if he comes to visit America.  If that gives you any idea of the cost.

Stranger things have happened......I've been chatting with an Englishman for almost 11 months now and we will finally be meeting for the first time this week. He's coming on the 24/10/13. No rush as we have both been married and in relationships before but we have made a good foundation. We both have figure that if things are meant to be then they will be. And hopefully the connection we feel when calling or skyping transfers to the in person meeting. If not then we will still be friends. So if it is meant to be with your Englishman, then it will be. Just let things fall where they may. Good luck.....I know how you feel. :)

What a romantic story! I hope it all works out for you! Interestingly, my now British fiance and I are 14 years apart. He and I met in Florida whilst he was on work and I was visiting my family for Mother's Day. Before I knew it I was flying to see him every other week. It just felt right, and we made the jump across the pond (with my German Shepherd! That's a FUN process....) and here we are, happy and content. Do what feels right! If you do end up over here, let me know and we can get drinks!

P.S. I've seen Camaros on the motorways here before, they always make me do a double take and slightly miss home and driving my car from the LEFT side!! :)

So many of us have been there.  I had 6 months of daily Skyping before my first visit to England.  The instant I was there I knew it was right.  I stayed for 6 weeks and then was able to make another 3 month visit before he proposed during his visit to meet my family.  Definitely visit each other first (why would he need to sell his car just to visit?), but I think if you know then you just know.

Hope you will keep us updated. My UK friend henceforth known as Mr. B just left this week. Was here for about 12 days. It was nice. I think there will be more visits, fingers crossed. I want to know about your progress.....please share! :)
