Thanks for making me feel welcome guys,
You mentioned a few things I should read/watch there Dave which I didn't know about so that is very helpful, I will check those out for sure. I read your field report Switch, sounds like you're making some good progress there man. I know how tough on confidence the break up of a LTR can be, has happened to me twice and both times were pretty bad. You might not think it amounts to all that much so far, but you must know that most guys are totally unable to talk to girls or strike up conversations during the day (i.e. when not alcohol fuelled) so you're already doing a lot more than most.
