Thanks everyone for your support and words of wisdom. As per usual...it is very helpful. I have not done the OLD thing since I met my H in 2005 and things have changed a lot since then. I felt like my mom trying to figure everything out. The wide variety of people messaging me was kinda bizarre and a bit intimidating TBH. Of course, many people look really good on their profile and I'm sure a good percentage of those are not exactly honest about who they are. It is so hard to tell from what someone writes, don't ya think? Anyway...if anyone has any insider tips, I would appreciate hearing them. I was messaging my SD19 last night about it and she thought it was HIGHLY amusing. She is coming to visit me this weekend and says she will "help you [me] out". Great...dating advice from my 19 year-old. This HAS to be a set up for a disaster...lol.
Anyway...even though I am approaching this in the most casual of ways, I have to admit that it was really, really nice not thinking about my H when I was bumbling my way through everything. The last time I ventured down this road, I was acutely aware of my biological clock ticking away so even though I wasn't "desperate", I was definitely more serious about it. This time...well...just want to get out and leave myself open to whatever the universe has in store. I will consider it a success if I make a few new friends.
