Was interested in getting some perspective from other members on this board regarding new relationships.
9 months after my ex and I separated, I started dating one of her friends and we started living together 5/7 days per week. We had a very good time, but she was on "10" and I was on "5" so the relationship ended. We parted on good terms and still keep in touch.
After that ended, I went on a few dates with 5 different girls but did not feel there was much chemistry with any of them. I then took a 3 month break to clear my head.
I recently started dating a VERY nice girl and our chemistry is excellent. We enjoy spending time together, going to dinner and chatting at Starbucks. My divorce went final in August and her divorce should be final in January. She has a 6 year old boy, I have a 7 year old girl and we live less than 4 miles apart. Overall, a pretty nice situation.
One issue has surfaced in that I find I am a bit reluctant to enter into a "full blow" physical relationship. I am very attracted to this person, but for some reason I find I am a bit apprehensive to really go for it. I told Ms. X that I want to take things a step at a time and I do not want to f* this up. We have only been togeter a few weeks, but it seems longer.
Your thoughts...
PS My ex and I are getting along very well and are on the path to friendship. My daughter and I also have a great relationship. Right now, life is good.
