As I have read these boards this isn’t recommended in general – but I would love to have your opinion! I understand the possibility of a casual dinner or a night turning in to something else and more. I also realize that I am not even close to being at that point. I still want W back and even if I didn’t I would still need time for me.
I don't recall MWD stating her VP about it in her DR book, however, it has been a while since I've read it. I realize there are some who disagree with "dating".
If you want to be technical, you aren't legally M. Which, btw, I've been meaning to ask you...why didn't you M her?
The reason I was asking how you felt about the idea of dating is b/c I think she needs something to jump start her engine. She needs to see you as an available bachelor. I'm not suggesting anything intense, just a friendly dinner. It can be nice without it being romantic, can't it? I don't think you should lead a woman on to think there is more....if there isn't. Just tuck it inside your brain so if the occasion should arise, you will be prepared to act. There are a few women out there who would enjoy a friendly dinner also.
Okay, about the Christmas thing....I was really hoping LTH, Labug or Advina would jump in and help with the wording. They are much better than I am.
Do your kids do anything on Halloween? If so, has that been discussed yet?
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
