Hi, I think now I have just given up thinking of meeting any guy from (THE NORMAL WORLD) LOL. Back in August, I met a really nice chap, then he returned to Malta, where he was living. We have talked, emailed, and texted constantly. Then he told me he was coming back to England and really wanted to meet me for the New Year in Kent, where I live. We were both happy and looking forward to a relationship, so during a phone call a fortnight ago, I told him about the colostomy I have had for 10 years and that it is not a problem for me or anyone else either. He kindly said it didn't make any difference as he really likes me. He said he would still come for New Year. On Boxing Day, with a room full of people, he sent a message saying, "Sorry, I cannot deal with the problem you have!" Oh dear, well now I will only search for friends on this site; I cannot put myself through this a fourth time.
Now for the happy news: onwards and upwards, and a very happy and healthy 2015 to you all. Love, Kay x
Hey girl...if I were in the UK and anywhere close to being up to your standards in the good looks area, I would be dancing with you until 2016 ;-0 Don't give up, my friend. Tell that chap thanks for being honest before he wasted more of your time and keep yourself in the game. You are not defined by your ostomy. People can be shallow, but it is their loss to not have the privilege of your company. Keep yourself positive and available. The right guy will come along when you least expect it.

If I was a relative newbie with an ostomy, I have no doubt that this site would be very helpful to me. The members are quick to respond to questions and issues and they are filled with experience. When I joined, I already had a lifetime with an ostomy, so I just regard it as a place to meet and communicate with other folks similarly situated. Either way, it is a good site.
Thank you so much, it did knock my confidence yet again! Happy New Year to you, Kay x

Hi Diceman, thank you so much; that comment really lifted my confidence again! If you were ever over here, I would love to meet up with you. Take care, Kay. P.S. I named mine Naughty Boy, but over the years he has grown up a bit. He he. x
