Ah yes, "the thing"! It used to be so simple, I was married and that was that. I never had to deal with women showing interest, I was always with my W or spoke of her frequently. I would speak of her, not to create awareness in other women, but because I loved her and was proud to be her spouse. Now, I'm single and, technically speaking, available. It's like being an adolescent again, WTH am I supposed to be doing? I want the attention but I don't. I want to reach out but I don't. Yes, it's that damn "thing" Tom!
