When I dated the very nice girl from my divorce group we had already talked about very deep subjects. She knew all about my fight for my marriage, my legal battle, my then stbxw, my views as a father, and it made me attractive to her. huh? All my baggage was attractive to her? Not exactly, but women do seem to really NEED this type of interaction from men.
It's an honour when we get to see the real man under the surface.

I think you have nailed it violin...my gut says you have it right. Thanks for the male perspective (oh and thanks for the compliment )

Thanks for your perspective on this. It's not that I am needing major support from him...it's just that I want to have that added dimension of connection. And I'll remember about him not being a mind-reader.
Thanks for chiming in
