First post - My WAH story

[Jacket]

Thanks all. Yes, I have been actively working on GAL. I already have plans lined up for Thursday and am trying to find some friends to hang out with the other days this week. I had an awesome weekend - went out for dinner with my cousin on Friday (I just broke the news about BD to her this past week), went mini-golfing with my friend and her friends and then had dinner with them last night, and went shopping with my Mom and baked a pie (for the first time ever!) and had dinner with my friend and some of her friends tonight. I truly had a good time this weekend and felt less concerned about what H was doing. Am I finally learning to detach??

At dinner tonight, my friend said she ran into my H last night at salsa dancing. (He was there by himself FWIW.) She said she told him that she and I had dinner on Thursday night and she told him where we went. He asked what we discussed at dinner and she said, "You know...work stuff," which could not be further from the truth. (She and I work in the same profession, though, as we went to grad school together.) Funny that he wanted to know what we talked about. She said she'll probably see him regularly, as they seem to go to the same salsa dancing class. Hopefully she'll tell him how great I've been doing lately, even though I was trying to practice "going dark" this week. But it's probably good that he has some inkling of what I'm doing and knows that I'm not sitting around pining away for him, right? Not exactly sure about that.

My friend has invited me to come by next week when she has a house guest from Paris staying with her. (She rents out one of her rooms through AirBNB.) She wants me to come eat dinner with them next week since I speak some conversational French, though I am super rusty. Is it wrong to be sort of giddy to be meeting some random Parisian guy?? I have no interest in dating anyone right now other than my H, but I remember someone saying in one of their posts that it's nice to hang out with guys again and practice some fun, harmless flirting.
