What you describe sounds great to me. Nothing wrong with removing yourself from the field. You seem to have connected....that is great! Don't beat yourself up for that. Continue to enjoy each other's company Mike....low expectations....just enjoy...after all you / we have beem through, YOU earned it! Never mind what people around you say. Follow your gut instinct.....and enjoy yourself!
Mike - I'm in same boat with MOT35. Stopped the going to far with other women to see what happens. I mean I still flirt when out etc, but no more going and snogging over women etc and getting numders. Similarly, she seems right into me (as I've said) and although I'm really not sure. I feel she deserves my full attention and no playing as she is bending backwards to spend time with me. I know where your coming from totally, got my friends saying play it up etc all the time and part of me wants to but it's not me. Just go with it Mike, take it slow and see what happens. I'm sure in a couple of months you'll have an idea where it's going and what is that sacrafice if she could be the one ?? (The one non Batchitt you meet in your life I mean)
