NM, they do night golf around here too and it sounds awesome! The following refers to a post a few pages back, but I want to suggest one more reason for "dating" someone that you might not want to live happily ever after with - it gives you practice!

We spend all this time reading relationship books and posting on/reading this board, and it's all theoretical! I mean, we're practicing on our WAS, but OBVIOUSLY they have baggage and we have history. It's not exactly representative of what a new dating life would look like.

Soooo... like you mentioned about starting the new school year tabula rasa, we may feel like starting our new romantic path the same way. You know, testing the waters on people unlike our own errant spouses. If nothing else, that move will CERTAINLY teach us something about ourselves!

Good luck, NM. I think you're doing great! It ain't easy...
