Thank you for your wishes. I had quite a good time with "my first date". He seems to be a nice person but of course at this stage I can only see him as a good friend and nothing more. At least he seems to be an honest and genuine guy and I didn't have the feeling that he has something to hide. The other men I met wanted to know so much about me already in the first few hours which I found very suspicious. However, this guy seems to be a bit shy since he told me that he never goes out on his own but always with some of his mates. When he asked me if I went on my own I said that I could sit at home most of the time if I didn't go out on my own.
Anyway, we had a good laugh and of course I could not get by without making a few jokes, e.g. he drives a small red sports car and when I saw it I asked him whether it was a "midlife crisis car"! He has never heard the expression and I had to explain to him that most men in MLC buy a sports car.
Saturday was a beautiful but quite chilly day. I met the guy in a nearby cute little town in the afternoon, and we went for a nice walk along the river before we went for afternoon tea. Unfortunately, the restaurant we went to was not in the sun. Normally, we would have gone to one of the restaurants on the waterfront which is facing south but they are still shut as the season hasn't started yet. The place is very popular with tourists from spring till fall and obviously on lovely winter days. I was amazed that it was full of people also going for walks.
Re H I mentioned before that he wrote about women wanting to be supported where he is. So I told him about what happened to a GF's son who married somebody from the part of the world where H seems to be. The guy ended up supporting his wife's family and relatives. In the end he had no money anymore and had to start working really hard again. My H was not "amused" by my story and replied that he does not need me telling him this. He knows about it and he is not stupid!!!
He started telling me again that he has to give me a certain amount from the property sale as part of the divorce settlement although he made a huge loss on it. But obviously I don't care about him and why should I, after all he left me! – I got this accusing mail instead of a Valentine's card.
I have not replied and am going dark. The business matter will be settled and the D final soon, and then I will not contact H very often anymore.
