Have fun. But remember that dating and relationships are two distinctly different things.
Dating means going out and enjoying someones company. Could be dinner , movie , sporting event, opera, walk in the park , coffee , dancing , working out , sky diving .... a nice drive somewhere.
Dating means you keep it casual. Enjoy company and see if you find people interesting. See if people find yourself interesting.
I treat single friends who I hang out with as dates. Its good to practice and it has the added bonus of getting to know your friends more.
Same with a blind date. Just some fun and casual.
The secert to dating is to go into the date looking forward to a set time of good company and good conversation.
That way you do not have to worry about any physical stuff. If its a good friend a hug at the end or beginning is always nice.
It is a great way to build your self-esteem back up. It is a great way to GAL. Keep it fun and enjoy yourself. Set your boundaries and enforce them.
It is also a great way to see how far you have come and to gage your 180's and GAL.
If you need to get your rocks off thats your call. But I would recommend that you keep them casual.
And date a few people at the same time. 1 date here , 1 date there. If its the same person spread it out a few weeks. If you start to get attached then really spread it out and db that person until you get over those feelings.
Relationships.
Well if you have gotten over your marriage then your ready for a relationship. Determine the level. Set the Bar. Anyone who meets or exceeds your levels.
Bring the dates with that person closer together and see where life takes you.
I think you need to begin to live the philosophy.
I am living my life. I will see where I take myself. I will see who is worth joining in. I will decide if they are worth it. I will grow and freely share my time with that person. If that person does not meet my levels then I will move on. For I will always have myself for company.
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. unconditional love is awesome!
