So last night's date with Romy was nice. We met for a glass of wine and then went to a movie. I like the fact that she is very comfortable with reaching out to hold my hand and with affection in general without overdoing the PDA - i.e. we weren't making out in the movie.
So on the surface everything is great with Romy - we have similar interests, we have kids still in the house who are similar ages and we will both be empty nesters around the same time, and she has the physical attributes that I tend to be attracted to. Not sure how to explain this but I think what I am struggling with is that at this point I don't see her as "the one." She is definitely way more into me than I am into her. It's not that I am not interested in her, because I am - however I still find myself wanting to keep my options open. Maybe it's because it's still a bit early - we have gone out on 4 dates now. However, I did have those feelings with the last girlfriend I had and was really not interested in pursuing anyone else after she and I had gone out on just 3 dates. I actually fell for her rather quickly. Subconsciously that could be what is holding me back with Romy - but I don't think that is the case.
Anyways - I do have another date with Lucy planned next week. I am hoping that provides me more clarity. I'm not keen on dating more than one woman long term and I feel like Romy and I will soon be in that category once we go out a couple of more times. I do like Lucy however she is moving at a much slower pace than Romy as she is coming from a much different situation - widowed vs. divorced.
