Hi B. Was perusing my thread and realized I hadn't responded to your post. Great to hear you are doing so well and have found someone you are interested in getting to know better. I have date #4 with the guy I've been seeing. It has been going "junior high school" kind of slow...lol. I'm okay with it for now. I'm teaching him how to make my favourite Thai dish so we'll see how things go. Regardless...I have a date next week with a guy I've recently met online who seems a lot like me from a personality and interest standpoint. If there is a physical attraction, it could work out really well. Time will tell I guess...
Best of luck. I feel like you and I are at similar points in our sitchs and have discovered there is life after our exes and it may even be a much better life.
