Ala "homer"... I need to re-read that.

Naturally (stupidly?) my fear would be that he would start to date almost as a retaliation. I guess he could be going out on dates the nights we aren't together, but I mostly get him on the prime dating nights. He *did* have to 'share' that some 21 year old was coming on to him at a bar recently. The upshot was that he wasn't interested and she isn't "half the woman" I am; this was to show me that he isn't trying to just hook up with women and have sex. Let's reframe that to what he *is* saying-- he is looking for someone extra special that he can fall in love with.

Back to the original thought regarding dating-- I am not exactly sure *how* I would even find anyone to go out on a date with; I don't want to put myself out there on match.com or some such site, because that's not really where I am at mentally. As a solution goes, though, it is a heck of a lot easier and less expensive than moving; and it might even be fun. \:\)
