Bruce,

Yeah, I think about how it will affect my ex, but I thought you knew by now that I still go with my gut. I'm kind of a "what do I have to lose" kind of guy. One date won't kill anything with ex anyway. So I called the new girl acquaintance and asked her out already. I was just having a debate...I had already determined that I needed to do this.

Why was I surprised? Because of your experience earlier when you found you weren't quite ready. I assumed since you know I'm hung up on my x that you would say don't bother.
