Comment from Joan E.
I admired your description of your "approach-avoidance" feelings. I liked your explanation about being prompted by the "glimpse of his soul" and your being "a romantic." I understand you're being at a loss for words and hope "he" understands. To be continued...fictional or not! -Joan

Have I told you how much I think of you? You're the best, lady - heart and compassion. Thank you, Jill. Love, Dawn
Comment from Stalking Wolf
Thoughts somewhat like these have been pondered by the million over the thousands of years of this earth. For love is the most important thing of all. As the writer states "It is the most vital part of life." Cool.

Thanks again, Stalking Wolf - I'm so glad you are enjoying this series.
Comment from Gloria ....
Ha ha, so I come into your story again. This is humorous Dawn, but good gawd woman it isn't very believable. We aren't living in the dark ages anymore, unless of course you are habituating in Outer Romania or is that Siberia, I always forget, but you know what I mean.
A few words on a computer screen, no ability to communicate any other way.
Eh? If the Internet is in there so are the phone lines. So who is shying away from the phone calls or better yet camming on Skype? I can't imagine any wise person would fly thousands of miles to meet anyone sight unseen and voice unheard and that's smart.
If he wants to meet you the best thing to do, post haste, is get on Skype and chat up a storm to see if both of you like what you see and hear. If you don't? Time to move along. I wouldn't call that easy either; I would call that motivated because if love is, as you say, what makes your world go round, you're gonna be motivated to find out if it's real. ;-)
You likely have a cam built right into your computer otherwise they cost all of about $30. So get on it girl. And even if you both like what you see and hear on Skype there are still no guarantees your meeting each other in person will pass the litmus test when the other senses fire up, but I'm betting you are resourceful and will find other enjoyable things to occupy your time till the next flight back home. People travel all over the world to meet each other these days, ('specially when lookin' for a soul mate) but they do their due diligence before embarking on the big bird and the only way you can do that is in real time.
yes, I'm that old-fashoined, (fashioned) and I refuse to apologize for it. Just a little typo.
Anyway, fact or fiction, looking forward to seeing how it all turns out for you. But, if it's fiction, turn up the heat a little will you please, pretty please, and introduce a few of the newer gadgets too so it's more current. Gotta love that pun. LOL.
Keep writing!

Hahahahaha! You'd better catch up before you read Trouble, part 8 - it will not be as much fun if you don't, honestly, and though they aren't paying after part 4 anymore, they are short; just don't review 'em. ('Cause part 8 is about to blow your socks off I think, my friend...LOL)(and btw - Skype? Are you kidding me? Me? I'm the most computer-challenged person you'll ever meet, I'm sure. Corolla was my friend up until publishers and editors started demanding email! LOL) (Part 8 is the big 'reveal'.) But G-R-O-A-N on the pun...!!!

Thanking you kindly about my pun. I take your kind words as a great compliment. Puns are 'sposed to be groaners otherwise they ain't punny. You don't need to be computer unchallenged to use a cam. All you do is plug it in and turn it on and voila you got pictures attached to voices comin' from way over dere.
Will take a look back through the past whilst looking forward to part 8 cause I'm really tired of these socks I'm wearin' so lookin' forward to havin' 'em blown off.(Just don't touch the feet) Also, can you head them off in the general direction of the laundry basket please?
Comment from Norbanus
This is an outstanding walk throught the soul searching self analysis and pondering. Even with your excellent guidance, you left us to speculate for a resolution. Well done.

Comment from Curly Girly
I can imagine that these are just a few of the words that go through a person's head when they are about to embark on a journey to meet a stranger.
"What do I do if I just take one look - and know that I need to get away?"
"How foolish of me if I don't risk taking a look... Maybe I'll miss out on the answer to my life..."

Thank you for reviewing, Curly Girly - that wouldn't be what would be going through my head at all, though. I care very much about what's on the inside - I've known many very beautiful people whose beauty sours the minute his/her character is revealed. Unless he wasn't clean, I would be overjoyed to see him for the first time - to have the chance to discover more about him.
Comment from rosehill (Wendy)
OK, I read the well thought out and constructed argument that you put forth for staying stuck in the mud, I just don't believe it. First I think you are working from a faulty premise. Why would he think you easy just because you want to meet him face to face. Do you expect him to jump your bones and leave you dangling, a stranger in a strange land? Your behavior will always be about whatever and whoever you are. I never thought you were headed off to travel that far for sex, just to find love. You are old enough and old fashioned enough ( read that as smart and self respecting) to know that words on the computer are just that, and a face to face is necessary to learn all the other signs and signals we have had a lifetime to absorb and sort through. I think perhaps your real fear is that he won't love you once he sees you, and that can't be your reason not to go. That resolves nothing. Jump, Dawn, Jump. Putting it off won't change anything really, will it? Ah, so easy to give advice from my safe computer distance.

I'm laughing at your last (very true) sentence. I think my concern is that he will wonder why I would go to so much trouble when there must be many other people around me. Thank you for a wonderful, thought-provoking review, though. :)

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Well Dawn you sure do know how to create a "need to know" in your readers. This keeps me interested and focused on the couple fact or fiction matters little, for the reader can always read them both ways.
Well penned and as always I enjoyed the read.
Thanks for sharing it.
Happy New Year girl,

Comment from Curtis Hatch
Dawn,
Love is a complicated emotion that comes in many variations. I believe the Greeks have five words to describe the different kinds of loves. We roll it all into one, and the complications begin. What level of love do you have for your friend? It is a question hard to answer. This is an excellent, thought-provoking situation you have penned.
