The weather for Sunday didn't look promising, so my date with FF#1 got bumped up to tonight. And it was amazing! We have so much to talk about with common history. She is amazing, being able to have intelligent conversations, she is so aware, so in touch with the world, so full of empathy and understanding, and she is just so happy to be alive. She is so thankful for compliments, so happy to give them. She is crystal clear on what she wants, what she enjoys, what she is willing to try, and a mild sense of adventure. She has had some tough times but never let it get her down. She was an LBS 6 years ago, her H left for an A, he married the OW, got a D, and came back to FF. FF told xWH no, and was telling me she doesn't know why she M'd him in the first place. But they coparent almost flawlessly.
I never imagined how conversations could be so much better than they ever were with xW. Even if we never date, I imagine staying friends with FF#1, and I will be glad to have her as a part of my life.
