I appreciate your concerns, however my interpretation of returning to dating scene is just afternoon coffee or small drinks in a bar with a friend, at the moment I’m not looking for love and don’t expect sex.
When look back I’ve spent 8 years waiting for W to come around, its 4 years since we were fully intimate, 2 years since we touched. So what I am doing now is using this whole dating thing as a way of moving forward, focussing on me and not W and what she is doing. I want to prevent myself from falling into a depression or funk. Negative energy attracts negative and I don’t want to stay in that mode.
But you are right though, my niece who has a co worker who is interested in me has said that her friend is an ideal woman for me, however she is not going to let us meet until after the D is final and W is well into the distance. That way she says at least it will give things a chance without an angry ex wife interfering.
In the meantime I am meeting the lady off the dating site for Sunday lunch, my mind is now switched to, what will I wear, what will I say (can I get through an afternoon without talking about W). The focus in back on me.
