I dated when h and I were separated. One guy was mauling me AND seemed to like me sincerely.
He apologized a lot but it was too late. Major turn off (truly a horrid kisser. Made me miss h MORE...not less...Sheesh!!)
Other guy was attractive and had the apparent 3 date expectation. We'd had many long talks on the phone and I did like him a lot. This made me realize I would not be alone if h and I divorced, if I didn't want to be.
There ARE good men out there.
But I wasn't ready. I WAS attracted to him but felt insecure physically I think. He was uber into body building for one thing.
And after such a long m and now, with THREE dates I'm supposed to let you see my stretch marks? Hmmm...
(I am not heavy btw, and like how I look OVER ALL...) But I am a bit self conscious about a new man seeing my body for the first time in decades.
He("OM") was understanding. We kept talking and planning time together.
Then h and I reconciled before a lot more could happen,
and so I don't have a ton of regret. However,
I don't believe I could do the 3 date sex thing, very easily after this long a marriage.
I didn't do that BEFORE the marriage. Only ML with men I loved.
Maybe I could handle it better 20 years ago, or PRE pregnancy...
God, maybe it's all my ego talking??
