hey cc! glad to see you still have your sense of humor! hey on the dude that lied to you, think of it as a learning experience!! I went through a couple bad dates myself and one guy was doing that - texing, emailing so much. When I followed my gut and told him I didn't want to lead him on, he did contact me again so I blocked him and haven't heard from him since then. It's weird to date after being married so long but at least you did get that first one out of the way and now you will feel more confident. good for you on checking him out etc, I don't think you were too naive, we all want to trust before assuming the worst. At least you found out early on before you were emotionally invested . Yeah my ex couldn't look me in the eye either - that's the whole guilt thing. When I started dating someone and saw the ex, I found I had a hard time looking HIM in the eye, I still felt a little guilty about it even though we were divorced! sort of effed up what your mind does to you - after being with one person for so long it still feels weird that you're not with them anymore. You sound like you're doing well cc, so glad to hear it!!
