I think the dating thing is an experiment for myself (a 180 directed at me?), since it is such a different idea for me, with no prior experience. Not as an adult, anyway. OT, taking things Slowly (LOVE that name, and glad you are stopping in!). Prodding myself into moving forward, and getting a little of an ego-boost. But I am not about to go out cruising bars or other meat-markets. My bff was curious to hint it to H, as well (after Monday), to see his reaction. May be interesting to have a "virtual" other interest at first. I am certainly in no rush, as it seems now that I will probably have the forseeable future to date.
Dave--all of my guy friends are married...but I'm still GAL with all of these great women, and on my own when I am interested in something. Things are about to get really busy again in my life (thank goodness!), as I get back to work, kids in school and taking (retaking) a grad class.
Slowly--I have been thinking of the scripts, and will be writing them out during the day today while the kids are with H. I may even bring them with me on a little cheat-sheet. I found it so useful when IC and I went over my two main concerns for Monday, to have something in my head (I was really off-guard for him last week, and it lead to a weak showing and all of the tears). I need to be ready for tomorrow--I'll try to carry you all in there with me. And I have to bounce it off of someone today, to try to come up with possible BS arguements and rationalizations so I can get things back on track.
I don't think he will be asking to hold my hand tomorrow.
