Had the blind date with the 25 year old on Saturday night as part of a group company outing. It went well, but obviously issues with the age difference. It was a big step for me (first date in over 20 years with someone other than WAW) and I now know I still "got game".
I told S16 and D19 about the date. Yes, even her age. I am very open with my kids about everything. D19 (of course) told WAW. So, WAW called me today. It actually went quite well. She was upset that I did not tell her before telling kids, but I had asked a few times recently to talk. She simply works too much to find time.
During our chat I told WAW that she was the one who told me to date - and most likely because she was already dating. She claims she has not dated anyone at all. I actually believe her. No reason at all to lie at this point.
I have other prospects for dates as well. The times they are a changing....
I will tell WAW one more time, that I would still like to share my life with her, but if she can't do that I have finally started to move on with my life. Today I actually thanked her for giving me my life back.
I've been feeling confident and happy the last few days more than at any time in the last year. It's about time!
