Thank you guys for the advice. I do not have a lot of experience dating - I tend to go straight into long term relationships - so balancing conversations with multiple guys feels weird to me. Not just cause of time issues but I expect getting romantic as well.

I know what your saying with creating a relationship in your head and I’m trying to avoid that as well. Talking on line or even on the phone is completely different from meeting someone. And i don’t want to be influenced by my own imagination and fantasy without looking at the actual real person (I did that with ex bf). The guys I am talking to are interested in texting and talking and communicating and want to know about me and that feels good because of being in a Lonely relationship with my ex husband and in a relationship with someone lazy and passive and rude last time around. I think about how other woman would have cheated on my ex husband or left. I’m glad I didn’t disappoint my son that way though. I am not gonna put up with that in a partner in the future.

It is fun for me though. I like having something to think about and a motivation and place to go to dress up and look nice. I like meeting knew people and it’s nice to have someone to think about a bit. It distracts me from other stuff in life.
