Hi K! Things are as well as can be expected - thanks for asking. Match.com has been interesting to say the least. I've emailed back and forth a few women and have actually taken the step to meet up with one. Went over more like a job interview and there really wasn't much of a spark there, but it was nice to get out and be with the other gender even if for innocent coffee. It's okay because I'm not in a hurry to start anything. What I would really like is to find someone who is interesting and would like to go out occasionally for a movie, dinner, etc. If it leads to something more than that would be great, but I don't intend to rush anything.

Being separated has been pretty strange so far. My WAW comes by everyday to take our oldest D to school in the morning, so I see her pretty much everyday. We are pleasant to one another, more of a distant brother-sister relationship. No intimacy at all other than the obligatory hug goodbye.

In the state I am in we have a required 1 year period of separation before a divorce can be granted, so it will still be awhile for finality to happen for me. I used to think that was a good thing, however as time goes by I'm not so sure I'm excited about waiting another 10 months for this. I mean what is the point if she has no interest to reconcile and my interest is evaporating by the day. I really think if she all of a sudden changed her mind and wanted to come back that I would be right where you are with my emotions about that.

Thanks for resurrecting my thread - I have been meaning to post an update (even though not much is new) and you gave me a good opportunity to do that. By the way not sure if you know it or not - but we are friends on FB. My initials are DK and I have no profile picture.
