Very much so. Wait, this was a date with the single mom? Do the kids know?
It definitely was not a date. Just a single mom whose kid is good friends with my kid. More like a play date for the kids, but during dinner and without my wife. Nothing more, but it felt refreshing nonetheless (we both did laugh, which was a good change)
Of course it felt refreshing. You felt like a man with worth again. You always were but this play date reminded you of it. You could work with a therapist for 1000 hours and they can't restore your self-worth like one fun evening with a really nice member of the opposite sex even if there is zero romance involved.
