A right now happy ending

Several months ago I blogged about a friend who met a guy she was really crazy about; it was her first dating experience after a turbulent divorce, entitled "get off the see-saw". To review, the first few months were great until he summarily informed her he cared for her but still had feelings for someone with whom he had recently split. My very smart friend, instead of performing the requisite but destructive act of letting him off the hook and "waiting for him" , perpetuated strong self esteem and dignity by telling this guy to take a hike until he could make up his mind. To follow up, I did not have to provide any comfort or reassurance to her vacated heart. After several weeks, this ultimately wise man, (with the stark realization of life without her) vigilantly fought to win back her affection with an onslaught of emails, phone calls, flowers and unexpected "pop ins" until she relented and rejoined his companionship. Throughout this ordeal her actions were unexpectedly wise, befitting a seasoned dater rather than a novice newly thrust back into the single world. During their separation she neither pined nor sighed like a school girl, she dated, went out with friends, worked out and only shed an occasional silent tear over this loss. And when he resurfaced with his declarations of intent, she did not immediately acquiesce, but made him work for her affection and time. As she valued herself, his respect and value of her as a person followed suit. Thing are progressing nicely; he is a good man who made a small error in judgement, most likely due to fear of the unknown, and/or fear of rejection. I will leave the psycho analysis to Freud. However my friend is to be applauded, for her actions and positivity virtually prophesied her positive outcome. Oh if only the rest of the worlds relationship problems were so easily resolved.
