I sure appreciate the feedback. The first date went ok. She wants to go out with me again. I'm working on it, need to do more planning, etc next time. I really did use the feedback here I wanted to write that but I don't have a lot of time right now.

I kept it simple per your advice, thanks 180man.

I like the idea of the gun range, I plan to do that on one of these Coconut, thank you. She did have an EA, yes it's over. I didn't. Bowling is a good idea too but I'll beat her and refuse to let her win and she's very competitive, so IDK.

RDS, you're right and this was/is definitely true. I'm sorry to hear you had a bad day, let's try to string together as many good days as we can. I know in my situation, I provide anywhere from half to all (usually all) of the reasons we have a bad day - that's something I can work with.

Good advice Vanilla. You're right there is much atoning. I like the idea of calling this early days, even though it's been 21 months. I have to put the 21 months behind me and start from here - early days of something new.

thanks again all.
