Stephen Expected Nothing. Four Months Later He Was Wrong.

Hi Mary. Stephen from Kileleshwa. I will admit I expected nothing when I first spoke to Diana. Four months later I am still here, so clearly I was wrong.

By the time I came to you I had stopped believing online introductions went anywhere. Every conversation had the same shape and the same ending. What I wanted was for somebody to be clear with me.

Diana was. Calm, direct, and genuinely interested in who I am rather than what I could offer. That was the difference, and I noticed it in the first conversation rather than weeks later.

Four months on she is still part of my life and we still communicate well, which after my earlier experiences is not something I take for granted. If you are where I was, sceptical and a bit tired of it, give it one more go, but be honest about what you actually want. Vagueness wastes everybody’s time.
