Thinking about the "I'm looking forward to it" part...it really wasn't something I did on purpose to get a reaction. It really came from a place of me moving on but in hindsight I can see how she took it.
I was really pissed at my friend. Sat night we were texting and some things were a little off and I thought I had done something to upset her. Then on Wed she confesses to me that she approached my ex without my knowledge. Asked my ex to talk about reconsidering things and my ex agreed, then pulled the "anything you want to say to me you can say to OM" and my friend felt betrayed.
Well, at that point I was just mad b/c I knew that didn't help matters. I did tell my friend to stop and look at it from my exes perspective; that I'm saying/doing this "get out and get on with your life and I'll do the same" and then you're going to her about reconciling - my ex probably sees it as manipulation that I'm putting on a "show" and asking my friend for help. I told my friend to really think about that before doing anything more and just told my friend I didn't want to hear anything about how my ex is doing, about OM, or anything else.
Yes, yes, yes! Oh it was great and I'm fitting in with this group. My confidence when I'm out with them is great. I'm relaxed and it just flows out of me. People just chatting me up and wanting to see me again.
Gonna share this...a bunch of us are talking about going to play laser tag. I had been flirting with my waitress and she's walking by and I ask her if she's going to come play laser tag with us. She asks me when and my response is, "give me your number and I'll let you know." She says "ok" and immediately turns, writes down her name and number and hands it to me.
Wow! Did that ever feel good. The people I was talking with are giving me praise and then a girl from the group I was chatting with gives me her number and well....nothing extreme with her but more fun I've had with a girl than I've had since last Aug.
