By moving on with my life, I was really meaning moving on to dating other women and being open to new romantic relationships. I certainly am all for moving on with life. It is too short, and we never know when it will end. Live life. I spent too many years suffering my own kind of not living my life to ever want to go back to that.

So, I should have specified moving on in the relationship sense. I'm not ready to do that. I don't think it would be fair the other person, and I don't think it would be helpful to me at this point.

Will I do things that might even be date-like? Absolutely. I want to go to concerts & movies & what not. If my W isn't going to want to with me, I'm not sitting at home. If it is with another woman because that's who wants to go & I enjoy her company, that's what I will do. It will be clear at the outset though that that is what it is. I'm not ready to date another woman no matter how much I miss the intimate companionship and thrill of feeling wanted and desired.

Does that clarify it?
