Sandy, I have had many interesting reconnections over the years, all absolutely happenstantial.

I do think now and again, that I could reconnect with a few lovely male friends, one I came close to marrying, but they're fleeting 'what ifs'.

Was just wondering if you thought about putting subheadings in your pieces, and also, making your paragraphs much shorter.

If I look at your 1st par. I would end it at...started dating.

Then I would use that:That too long distance as a sub-heading.

The reason I suggest that is because readers tend to skim. Short paragraphs allow for that. Sub headings lead into the next paragraph.

What are your thoughts?

Great story by the way. I'm so glad you decided it wasn't reall love...never had been. :)
