Surviving Separation

[Confluences]

I've been really thankful for the skills/ lessons learned through DBing in the past week. There've been days where he's down from the pedestal I've placed him on where I think, "do I even want that back." But I remind myself that how I feel today might not be how I feel tomorrow and I just ride out negative thoughts knowing I don't need to make any decisions about things right now.
=================================================================

That quote is totally how I feel about things from time to time lately. You definitely want to keep working on yourself, reading, and staying busy. It's hard to do but you have to tell yourself that everyone goes thru different phases during this process.

I was out last night at dinner for my Mom's Birthday and the restaurant has 1/2 off Wine on Wednesday and the bar was packed with really attractive women. The female Server was really flirty and nice to me.

That whole bar scene is not necessarily my speed but as I was leaving the reality set in that I may be in that dating mode in 6 months and you have to come to terms with the possibility of moving on with life and making the effort to meet someone new with the hope that your best days are ahead of you.

Meeting someone new has no appeal to me right now because I know that not dating during this phase will give me peace knowing that if we don't work out that I would have made my best effort and not given up too soon.

So I guess I'll stick with mountain biking and Thursday Night Poker night with the guys but I really would like to take a female out to dinner but not on a date, just for nice conversation with a lady. Those are simple things that I miss right now and maybe I will do that sometime, who knows but that's hard to walk that line. The NFL Season Opener is tonight so Fantasy Football begins in earnest, which is a great diversion for me until December.

Keep us posted on how things go with your sitch!
