Thanks for checking in on my posts. Yes, our sitchs sound familiar.
I couldn't find any RL support groups in my area, and it wasn't for lack of trying. So most of my friends who "get it" are here. But my RL friends have been great.
I am dating, more or less. Trying to get out there and see what life is like. It's scary out there! is what it is.
Hmmm, good question though...why am I dating? hmmm...validation? here I am, can anyone find me attractive? does anyone possibly find me interesting?
Anything wrong with going out, having fun, learning to make conversation and flirt again? Careful not to take advantage ( I feel bad for guys feeling like "if it is a date, I have to pay for it!" cause that will add up quick!) Careful to be honest: not ready for a deep R yet!
Gotta expand my social circle, gotta practice these skills...plus it is an excuse to buy cute shoes (that's for you, PH!)
