Okay, now that I've been officially welcomed to my new thread I have a real question that doesn't involve butt sniffing or sex or anything of that type.

My X called a little while ago and seemed to take quite a bit of time actually spitting out what she wanted. She asked me several times what I was doing. Then asked what I was doing for dinner. Then finally indicated that she was thinking of taking the kids out for Mexican (I presume food, rather than a person. hehehehe) and did I want to come along. In essence she asked me out. You guys/gals may not find that strange because we do stuff together fairly often (I'd say extremely often compared to most divorced couples), but dinner is something I think I've initiated almost every time. And in my recollection she has not called solely to ask me to dinner since the bomb. I said that Mexican sounded good and give me a call if they decide to go.

But, here's the weird thing. I really don't feel like going. I am actually dreading being at dinner with her. Maybe I should have said I had other plans, but at this point I've kind of quit trying to give the impression I'm out and about doing things. I've been so busy with housework, yard work, reading for my class, writing in my book, walking the dog, or getting outside to rollerblade, bike or doing things with my kids, that my schedule is full and I don't have to give the impression that there is a woman in my life. She knows I did the dating experiment and I'm sure she's aware I'm not dating right now. Anyway, what is my question? It's what's going on? And how should I act? And is she starting to pursue? And do I care? And just rattle off whatever you want, I just need someone to say something smart to me. he he he
