Good to hear from you. I know how crappy you can feel with a sinus infection so I hope you feel better soon! I am starting to date as well, but I am keeping an arms length away and I tell them that. Please watch about gravitating too close too soon...and it is too soon!!! It is great to have companionship of the opposite sex, but slow down on falling in the falling in love dept....get to know her first! Like take months...even years before you utter ILY. We all like to hear it, but you need proof in action not in words. After all, you don't want two hot potatoes thrown in your lap at the same time and if your professor lady friend is starting to pursue you then start pulling back....
Good to hear from you HiH! I'm glad you are getting some companionship just as I am. It feels spectactular doesn't it? Makes you feel alive again? And frankly, somewhat worthy I suppose as if all this work you've done for yourself someone else is noticing. It is a very powerful feeling.
I think the most attractive thing about starting a new relationship or just dating is that you feel somewhat on even keel for the balance of power, especially after a sitch like yours and mine where you have a WAW and the illusion is that you are powerless. Interesting isn't it?
