It went great, but everything is different for everyone my friend. Be attractive, enjoy things, no games, just be a great guy on a great day with all kinds of optimism for the future. There are times later to talk about how tough it is going to be...that isn't for now. For now, you both need to feel wow this can be good this can be fun again, we can love again.
Get off on a good foot. That is my adivce

So the first date is over. We had dinner and went to a comedy show.
All in all I thought the night went well. Dinner was good, and the convo flowed all throughout with maybe one awkward pause. Talked about the kids mostly, work and and the such, no R talk. Being friendly and trying to keep things light I ask her "So, do you kiss on the first night?" So smiled and gave me "Maybe". So I said "OK, well, to let you know, I don't." She laughed.
Went to the comedy club and as we were waiting for the show to start there was a little R talk. Not much about the future but she said she wasn;t telling anyone that we are "working on things" I said that was a good idea(validated) on said let's just take one day at a time. She agreed.
FWIW, the comedy show absolutely Sucked! The headliner was so drunk and high that he couldn't perform his act. Very disappointed. After the show I walked her to her car and said goodnight. We did gave each a kiss good night.
When I got home I sent her a text saying~ Thanks for meeting me tonight. It was really nice to be out with you again.
She replied Thanks for dinner, it waas nice talking to you like that again.
Sunday was now D6 BDay. I held a party for her with some friends. Texted some Pics to W and we were going back and forth. I know she wanted to be at the party but we both agreed it was too early for that. My family was asking if W was coming and I told them the reason.
It's nice to know my family is accepting of my(our) decision.
Now, it's time to think about date number two.

Why does it take hours/days for my posts to hit the board?
What if I need support for something tonght and no one gets to read the post until tomorrow?
Just curious.

Trying to get date number 2 in the works. I believe I made her feel at ease with me the other night.
When she dropped the kids off Sunday the convo was upbeat and positive.
Since I was treating this as a first date with anyone, I texted her yesterday asking her out this weekend. She is doing something for D6 B-day on Friday with her family. I suggested we go out Saturday. She is looking for a baby sitter. I told her if she can't find someone I will find someone on my end.
I believe she liked this gesture of me taking the initiative on planning the night.
This is something I rarely did when we were together.
Still taking it day to day.

Is it safe to say I should NOT introduce the kids into the equation until I'm(we) are certain about our future?
Or is it OK to do family fun time things? I remember early on in this process, my DB coach had suggested I try to envlove the whole family. Thoughts?
