Bad news: X is in arrears for child support. Sigh. Expectations back to zero.
Good news: My L received his signed acknowledgement of service for the divorce application.
Other news: I went on a first date with a 25-year old yesterday (fun but a dead end) and a second date with the single dad today. Single dad was much more relaxed and didn’t seem as goofy this time around. More attractive. He came to my neighbourhood, took me to brunch (and paid), then we walked around the nearby seaside village for a while. We talked a lot and it was easy, fun, and respectful. He told me his hand was cold and asked to hold mine. That’s the most action I’ve had in 14 months and even that felt like too much. LOL. I made it clear that things need to go slow for me to feel comfortable. We shall see how things develop. How on earth do people get comfortable enough to sleep with a virtual stranger on the third date? I think I have a lot of barriers around physical intimacy that I need to work through.
