AFWAW, Going on a date is great news. It's one of the reasons I knew I had a shot is when my W wanted to "date" me. So think thru this, plan and execute. Have three different conversation starters planned that have nothing to do with your kids or R. Open ended questions about something important to her. How will you get there? What will you wear? Who will pay? Exit strategy? (I was consistently botching this) Workout before you go to release some stress. Realise it's just one date. Just listen to her and validate. Be calm and confident. You can handle it. Cheers Coach
