Steve..I think surprises like this are a nice touch. I've known her 9 years. We were both married at the time and faithful..now we are both divorced. I have no expectations either way..she is a great mother to 3 kids and has no support from her x husband at all. I see and have heard her struggles..She deserves to be treated well..just because she has been treated like chitt in the past..
I wanted her to have a few days of happiness and joy simply because I know she has not had either in a while. I had a really great time with her last night as I did the other night..it was very relaxed, very comfortable...not any 1st date nervousness at all..I felt honored and privileged that she accepted the invite to go with me last night to the concert.
The flowers where the least I could do..It made her day..it made me feel good to be able to bring her a little joy..
it was a win/win as far as I'm concerned..she is and has been a good friend to me no matter what else happens..
The G40 I am seeing now also has an X who was a con man, a scammer and a cheater with multiple women. She is a good gal that deserves a good man and I hope that I am making her happy beyond her dreams. And her little girl does not have a dad and seems to like me a lot. I hope you can get a good bonding with her kids also.
Yep..I saw the picture that time. I have not seen the flowers..hopefully she took a pic with her cell phone cam and I will be able to see them. By the sound and excitement in her voice they must be quite beautiful.
Her x is/was a drug addict..addicted to pain pills..she put him through rehab 3 times to no avail..he is also an abuser who has abused his oldest son to a point where his son will not do visitation with him and is undergoing intense IC. She is a good mother, a good business woman and a great person. She is one of the good ones who has never seemed to get a break in her life..
Alabama would have been very lucky to have made it through till the end undefeated..Nick Saban has turned it around down there and they will soon be the powerhouse of old.
and Steve..I don't know if I did a good job or not. I do know I did a good thing. I brightened another persons day. I gave a great young lady a date she will never forget..I probably not only set the bar high for myself but I set it very high for the next guy..LOL..if there is a next guy

well it appears that her sons now think I'm "cool". I guess the T-shirts helped...and her oldest told the youngest that I was "cool" because I bought the flowers for their mom..I've seen all the kids at various times over the last 9 years..I've never been formally introduced to them and that may be a while down the road yet..it's good they think I'm cool..
It is definitely a good thing that the kids like you. I know you aren't ready for any serious thing, but in general, I hear a lot that kids are what mess up a lot of the dating life of divorced people. I know I would have to choose my kids over any man, so if they didn't like him......
Glad you made her day. If for no other reason than, she deserved it!
