Antonia,

I have had many of the same thoughts as you in the past few months, but the truth of the matter is; I'm really not ready. I sometimes wonder if I will ever be. My D25, who is D'd with 2 small children, seems to have no shortage of dates. I haven't exactly had them ringing the phone off the wall. But then I think, 'Do I really want it too?' The answer is no. Right now, I am happy on my own, with my little house and my little life. I don't believe I am hiding or depressed, just satisfied with the way things are at the moment. That's just me, but my point here is that I believe IF and WHEN I meet the right person, however that comes about, the need for the intimacy will return. Call it pheromones, whatever.

I don't think we are 'stuck'. We are just 'healing'.
