[nagdu] Never worked a male before

[Shannon Dyer]

I did seriously consider that, Julie. However, I'm hard to match, and, after meeting him, and talking to his trainer, I think we'll be okay. Yes. I'm nervous. Yes. It's very possible I might decide it won't work out, but, when I met him, he didn't give me any real reason to say no. Aside from not being female, he seems to fit every requirement I have. So, I figure we'll just see how it goes.

I mean if you want to give the male a go, then please go for it.  All I'm saying is that if you think you'd be happier with a female, waiting might be worth it.
