Hello Jan,

I've never emailed anyone after reading an article they have written so this is a real first for me. But after reading your article "Do you have a nice guy?", I felt almost compelled. I've been interested in this woman for a while now, going on 2 years soon. You're article hit home because it was essentially me when it comes to this woman that I am so incredibly in love with.

I was the one who initially showed great interest in her, to the point where I actually told her I was falling for her. Whether that was a mistake or not on my part was at one time a real question but she started to change as of recent with me. The last 3 months we've spent so much time together that I too was just thinking it was her wanting friendship alone. But things have changed all for the better.

The old saying good things come to those who wait is coming true at least for me. Most of my guy friends told me to move on a long time ago. There was something inside me always telling me to follow my heart though. I'm glad I listened to me.

So much of what you said in the article describes her, my Brenda, to the tee. It took me aback actually. I'm at a point right now where I feel anything is possible and it's so liberating. I think we've built a strong bond of friendship and it's moving in a much deeper area and I believe she's falling for me. I sometimes stop and wonder if this is really happening, or am I imagining it. But it is.

I just wanted to say thank you for that article. You made me see that I'm not alone and that you simply just have to have faith that things will work out in the end.

Much thanks, Joel
