At a minimum, the possibility of a date or knowing there are nice men out there can help give you some strength. I agree that if you aren't comfortable...give yourself more time. If the guy really is so nice and great...he'll wait. And...think about how awesome it is that you met someone so quickly! If anything...a great sign that there are other fish in the sea.

I know for me...I think the key is trying to do more with the kids and with friends. I think it's key to feel like you don't need a man in your life to be happy. I am seriously so much happier hanging out alone and reading, taking a bath at night than I am trying to make a man like my H happy. :-) And, I'm excited to create some new goals for myself and my life.

As you know from my sitch, I'm really at a place where I'm ready to move on. Maybe that will change if H ever has a completely awakening...but for now, life is short and I am tired of trying.
