I have spent the last 15 years of my life either married and monogomous, or single and celibate...if my husband doesnt come back to me...And as long as I don't remarry or commit again to a monogomous relationship in whatever form, well then I get to kiss whoever I please and won't be breaking any rules.
Looks like we are on the same page funnygirl. There's always a bright side no matter how flippin crappy our sitches get. I dated W for 7 years then been M of 14+ years. There were times when I could have been a low-life and messed around both before and after getting M. But I'm either not wired that way or it would have required too much work. Maybe laziness kept me faithful to W? It sure let her stray away from me. Hmmm, ironic. So now I'm way rusty at the flirting, meeting, introducing myself to women thing. It's new and exciting. I can see how a WAS could get hooked on it.
Did this interaction with these girls make you feel good, I was wondering?
Yes it boosted my confidence but at the time I was so busy trying to not look stupid that I didn't have time to enjoy it. It helped that I had a couple barley pops in me to get me to come out of my shell. One thing I told myself was that it didn't matter if they sneered at me or laughed at me b/c I know thru DBing that what counts is how I see myself inside. They were just two ladies shooting pool. If I bombed at trying to meet them, well...no biggie. But they were nice and I got to practice validating, paying strict attention to them, making the entire convo about them, and a few laughs. A small step toward a huge 180 for me. I just hope my rookie status doesn't show when I try to make the next step.
