I was recently told a story of a Canadian girl who met and fell in love with a Parisian man. He didn't speak English and she couldn't speak French. They spent a short time together in Paris (as she was on holiday there). After one month back home, she decided to move to Paris to be with him. They lived together for one and 1/2 years! She then decided that she needed to go back to Canada. He did live there for one month and finally decided that he could not live there and returned to Paris and subsequently ended thier relationship.
That was nearly 10 years ago. She married a Canadian man and has children with him; is very happily married. They still exchange emails once in a blue moon.
He (the Parisian man) admitted to me that he has felt that for himself, he made A BIG MISTAKE by letting her go.....
Just something for you to think about.
A dear friend of mine always said that the greatest crime in life is to settle for being ordinary. Life is a GRAND ADVENTURE - NEVER EVER FORGET THAT.
