Thank you, thank you guys! It's early on, but it's fun, and I am living in the moment. I am only looking as far ahead to Friday night, lol. I also told him it was my treat as he has paid for everything else so far.
Don- nooooooo, of course D10 has not met him and won't for a while. He completely understands that. I didn't even have to mention that. D10 has been seeing some texts because she is as nosy as heck, and she's figured out I have went on a date, but she is going to have to deal with waiting. I have no reason this time to introduce early on. We have been lucky that some weekends have been spit so I could go out with him 3 weeks in a row, but there will be 1 weekend I am away, and the following 2 weekends I will have her. I will get a babysitter if need be.
Job, your words mean a lot to me. Especially with what I have been feeling, which I guess you saw. Long story, but because of the weather Saturday, my dad put our dinner off until Wednesday, and D10 and I ended up going out to dinner with ex and OWW. I fight everyday with the fact that I was the starter marriage and during me came a long term one that might last. That I have been the woman who was the one right before THE ONE with every other guy I have ever dated. May it have happened, during me, 5 minutes after me, or in another case, a year after me, I have always been the one before. And it has left me with a complex and it hurts. I don't want to be the one always setting the stage for the real deal. I deserve to be the real deal. Sitting in front of my ex and his OWW made think about it again. exH was not feeling well and across the table from us, he put his head on her shoulder. Then her phone lit up and her screen saver is of her and my daughter. I don't think I will ever not have a reaction to either. I try not to think about all of this sometimes, but others, it's right in my face and I have a reaction.
But enough of the sad stuff. It's nice having dates in my free time. I hate first dates, but when I enjoy the enjoy the dating part. It's fun having someone to do things with. It was nice to lay my head on a guys chest with his arm wrapped around me. I forgot what it felt like. Kind of nice.
