We remain good friends and hopefully always will be. It is such a terrible shame because we get on so well however our differences are such that we couldn't live together and we would drive each other crazy after a while. It was better to bring it to end before it disintegrated and became sour.

The prospect of dating again, starting from scratch, is not one I look forward to however it is very unlikely I will find my soulmate walking the aisles of my local Tesco... unless of course I've got a thing for women in muddy riding boots and jodhpurs. On the other hand...

This time I'm going to use the Match.com website instead of Guardian Soulmates. Who knows there might be a gorgeous woman just around the corner but if there is she must be working for MI5 because I haven't seen her.
