Anyway, as we were talking we got into a conversation with two women sitting at the bar next to us. I was attracted to one of them. It turns out she's actually from my hometown and grew up not too far from me. I noticed she wasn't wearing a wedding ring. She even seemed to put her hand into positions so that I might notice (her left hand was on the opposite side from us). We made eye contact a few times.
^^^^^ is where it starts, good for you!! Getting your confidence back and realizing your value as a man will help you detach more than you know. Your value comes within and is not determined by whether or not your W finds you attractive or wants to be married. Keep it up!!
BTW....also good on you for not taking it further. Broken usually attracts broken .
