Hi Cindy, don't beat yourself up about being friendly with another guy, but do recognise your own vulnerabilities just now. Lucky for you that this guy seems okay, but going to his home without having met him or taken some minimum security measures wasn't wise IMHO. Good for you to realise that and pull back. I agree with Asitis - continued texting probably isn't a good idea either.
I have recently made a couple of new female friends and we go out for coffee, dinner, to a movie, theatre and so on. One is happily married, the other had a difficult D from an unfaithful H. It's great to spend more time in female company. We have some good laughs, heart to hearts and there aren't any of the risks associated with a male 'friend.' I met one friend from joining a female social group and the other from volunteering to help out at the elections recently. I've learned that you have to put yourself out there, and connect with people, and good things come from that.
Take care...you're doing really well (((Cindy)))
