LH and Steve should kiss and make up. I can kind of see both sides. I didn't go on a date for over 1/2 year after divorce. Then, I went on several OLDs, but I made it clear I wasn't looking for something serious. A couple of dates ended in "midnight rendezvous". Do I regret it? Not really. I was clear with the women I went on the date with, and part of me needed the validation that I was desirable and everything still worked (hey, divorce messes with your mind). In the end I started dating a woman that I met outside of OLD. We're still together. Things are good and we are dating exclusively, but I think it will be years before we advance to something really serious (moving in together, marriage, etc.)
In the end my one night stands were harmless. I think the key is finding like-minded women that aren't looking for something serious. I didn't want to be dishonest and hurt anybody. It helped that my XW talked me into "getting fixed". I still needed to worry about STDs (I took precaution), but at least I didn't have to worry about knocking somebody up.
