Adam, sorry things are moving so quickly, selling the house is a big step and loaded with emotion! Hang in there and stay strong!
Regarding the friend you went out with, everything you describe sounds more like the early stages of dating rather than a "friend" scenario. Just be careful, would hate to see you or her or both get hurt because you jumped into something too soon.
Thank you AS for the encouragement to hang in there.
Today, W discussed the options on the buyers and I listened and chose one so now we have the ball rolling. She discussed a possible contingency with temp leasing. I agreed and she brought up that I can move in the new house for a while if the funds are tight. I didn't say anything. I've decided to be unfazed and show her that nothing of our sitch is bothering me.
As for this coworker. I understand the concern and will tread lightly. I basically like the female companionship without her knowing of my problems. Felt good to get away for a few hours and talk it up.
