Hehe! AJ, you, MB and I definitely have to go out on a night on the town!! There is nothing here in J-actionville (as they call the town Camp lejeune is at).
Aaannyyway-I did go out with my friends Saturday and was introduced to a lovely man. He was married, 2 kids. Wife left him while he was at war. Been a year since that happened. We had a GREAT time. I mean super great. It was a bunch of my friends that care a lot about me and he was a person that is close to two of my other friends and they also care a lot about him-so it was a great enviornment to meet someone.
We shot pool, had drinks, had convo pretty much all night as a group. Next day we grabbed some lunch. We talked about where we are in out personal lives and are on the same page. We definitely DO NOT want to get into a relationship. We kinda just want to have a "safe" friend, of the opposite sex, to just hang out with and talk with. We both feel strongly that our kids are a priority and that if we have some time when our kids are not central, then hey-lets grab some food and talk.
I have to say, at first I was totally against this whole thing. My friends srprung this on me last minute. I felt like they really just wanted us to meet because both of us have been through some really bad sh*t. We are both good people with kids that don't have time for bs games. And mostly, our friends care about us. Funny that we never really met before since I have been friends with these guys for 6-7 years (one for 15) and he has known them for at least that long.
It was nice to have adult convo, with a mature man who knows where he is and what he wants out of life. There is definitely chemistry there...but we both were married for a while...and anyway-I am content to talk with him.
