SJay... Don’t get discouraged but do be prepared to meet a lot of guys who aren’t matches. For me, it’s not just about attraction although that is important. Having similar values is a must. Looking at someone’s actions as opposed to their words. If I had done that with XH, I might have saved myself a lot of heartache. But... I wouldn’t have my amazing kids so I can’t say it was a total wash. Anyway...it’s been an interesting process but I think I have found a good match for me. Not sure what the future holds but I do know that whatever it is, I can handle it. I am not an introvert but even introverts, I think, can benefit from having a significant other in their lives. You are in a great spot. You’ve been alone for a long time and you know that you are good on your own so you aren’t someone who is going to latch onto the wrong person out of neediness. My advice... just enjoy the process of meeting new people. You never know what the future holds for you. (((HUGS)))
