I think its hard to be attracted to someone if you are still processing all the junk from the D AND trying to be a good parent. Even if Golf guy walked on water, you might only be up for a date every so often and maybe a few dates with someone else in between times. Maybe that's all you need for now.

I tried to see someone who really was a gem, but I just didn't have it in me yet. Too much to juggle, not enough time to see him without having him hang out with the kids...and they are not ready. When I brought up a possible meeting at the dinner table, my ten year old told me emphatically "Mom, if he likes you, you better dump him." And I realized that my 10 year old has more sense than me! I really like having someone to hang out with every once in awhile, but I'm in no way ready for a serious "relationship" yet. BBJ, maybe you could have liked him more if he liked you less. Too much pressure.
