I haven't updated that thing forever, after a while I just got so invested in monitoring all the other threads that I rarely had time to update my own.


Thank you Rob. I was thinking about all this last night. And we may be talking about semantics now, but I think I can make W see that I am willing to move on with my life without dating. I have always shyed away from women (especially attractive ones) since I have been with her. I've done it mainly because I wanted to show her that she filled my needs. Since we have been seperated, I have loosened the reigns on those boundaries. Last night at the PTA meeting, I made it a point to talk more people and I think she noticed.

I am an engineer, so I work with almost all men. Except for the secretary, my office is all men (not being sexist, its the truth). My hobbies were running (alone) and playing soccer (all men). She has had absolutely nothing to worry about with me.

So I don't have to go all the way to dating to make some pretty big changes in my life. I think she will notice my GAL'ing. And I think it can have a similiar effect on her as dating would. Plus, I can do it without feeling guilty.

I appreciate your responses and take them to heart. It was a great post.
