Glad to hear it James. I'm about where you were last spring and it is heartening to hear about amazing new relationships and never being happiers. I just seems like it will never get here. I am worried about how to meet someone new.
Congratulations on your new life. I really hope it lives up to your wildest dreams.
don't force yourself into it DAN. im going to look at your thread. right now im tracing my family tree for older family members who want it updated so we can find out who is who and connect.
you'll know when you're ready to date again. Don't do it to fill a void. You have to look deep down inside yourself and love yourself first. Otherwise you'll end up settling for empty love and intimate encounters that still leave you feeling like you have a humongous void in your heart.
Your spouse/gf should enhance the love you already have for yourself. ALong the way alot of us forgot to put self first. After awhile you get comfortable and lose sight of your individuality and neglect yourself. It's human nature. I'll never fall into that trap again and it's all thanks to this board and dbing.
