In house separation?

[mdu]

So H has initiated 3 dates (including a potential all day one) at this point as well as lots of txting and even some phone calls. I'm wondering if it would be ok if I initiated a date at this point? The reason I am contemplating it is much of this week I will be off work with the kids as they will be home from school before camps start next week. He will think that I will not want to do anything with him because it means time lost with the kids for me (I know he will think this as we've discussed it). Thus far our dates have been planned during the school day, so we both take some time away from work but not kids. But I am willing to do a late dinner date (close to kids bedtime, get a babysitter) or something like that. Should I put it on the table?

Recall he does respond well to *some* pursuit from me as I had previously rejected him quite a lot in our M. Also, he told me he had previously stopped enjoying dates with me because sometimes I would use it to discuss something serious and we'd get into a fight. I want to continue to create opportunities to show him we can go out and have a great time and I can keep it light, control myself and protect that time as sacred and special (no arguments allowed under any circumstances!). I'm also thinking a nice dinner date would be a prime opportunity to go a little more dressy/flirty on my end ;-)
