Well now, I have warm and fuzzy feelings just knowing that so many of you care so much.
Missing information, let me address that because it is not my intent to leave anything out.
I met this girl at work. Not my work, hers. I have employees that do contract labor at her companies facility. SHE DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. I am a "boss" of my employees.
She is also a registered alien resident. She has been in the US for 4 years now and is from El Salvador.
BND and I discussed whether or not she was maybe enamored because of my status, age, etc.....
I actually have taken a good hard look at our dating relationship and do not, from talking with her, get the sense that it is like that. I understand how it could have been the case, but it does not appear to be to me.
Hell, I even joked with another poster the other night because the simplicity of dating her is fantastic. She gets excited when I stop at the store and pick her up a pack of gum while I am there for god's sake. It's actually kind of refreshing that she appreciates the little things.
We have serious talks, mainly about family as she is very far from the people who she truly loves. We also laugh together a lot. I make fun of her horrible english and she teases me about my spanglish.
Bottom line, I am having a great time with her. I had to go away for the weekend a couple of weeks ago and I asked her if she wanted to join me. She did. We had a great weekend. We had FUN.... Nothing serious, just a good time getting to know each other better.
BND, I had a very serious talk with her about all that you and I discussed. I wanted the air clean and to make sure this is not about anything more than enjoying each others company and having fun together.
I agree with whoever made the statement that I have spent my time alone. I have found myself again. I have been seperated for almost 2 years now. It is not mandated that you are only truly alone once the divorce occurs. Reality is that many of us have been alone for a very long time.
And Amy, Hell yeah sista.... this old man still has a little juice in the tank.
Kev, you are aware of everything. Have been with me through this thing and I appreciate how much you care about me. The feeling is overwhelmingly mutual my friend. Golf soon dude........ Just the boys?????
As I said, it was not my intent to withhold any information. I also do not wish to skew anyone's opinion as it is a R, simple as that. The other details IMHO are not that important. The thing that got me about BND and I's convo was the burning question about whether she makes me feel younger and the answer was simply yes. Right now though, I don't think that is such a bad thing. Feathers down Amy, I wasn't playing coy.....
I am happy, by myself, with my kids, and when I am with her. I believe that is what is important at this point.
