You don't need to date, but it is good to build your social circle. I have gone and had coffee with a few women. I am in no hurry to start any new romantic relationship and I make that very well known, but it is very nice to meet new and nice people. So far I have met three women that are really nice people. I told every single one of them of my situation and that at this point in time I am just making new friends PERIOD. All of them have accepted that and arent pursuing me in anyway beyond just being friendly and chit chatting. Its nice.
I agree completely, and have been doing so. I'm going out all the time, and have activities out of the house more days/nights than not. Meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends. I do interact with men, but most of those I know are married. They know my sitch, and are supportive. GAL has been truly a blessing!
GAL has helped me significantly. Initially when WW moved upstairs, I just moped around the house. I was extremely upset and just wallowing in my sorrow. Once I started to GAL, I now feel awkward just sitting at home. I get anxious about just doing nothing so I always get out and do something now. I will go drive around alone if I have to. I have a nice fast car so I love driving around. Yes it wastes fuel but hey, more smile for the mile.
