I do agree wit hwhat you say and I do try and get a life...I put myself out there, etc.
On the other part, for the past year I have been doing things with just my kids. Initially, I attempted to include her by asking her to go and she would always refuse. Recently, this was the first time I have asked in a long time and she decided to take me up on the offer, so that was nice. Don't know why she went; but at least I was able to be who I wanted to be and if she wants that great. If not, then her loss. I know I am a good person...just trying to figure out what direction is right and not to close any doors too prematurely.
You may be right that this will lead nowhere; but it is the first positive progress in over a year. I would regret it if I didn't at least give that a chance as well as going on doing other things.
As far as the concert tickets, I know she would like to see him; but if she says no, of course I will be a little bit disappointed; but I have already mentioned it to a few people who might be willing to go if she doesn't. Of course , I would rather go with her; but as long as I can go with someone and enjoy it, that is what matters in the end. I haven't been able to do things like this in awhile, since alot of my friends don't go to things like concerts. I miss that.
Well, jus so you know, I also haven't stopped pursuing this woman that is in contact wit hme from online. That is slow going, as she is in the process of moving and hasn't had alot of time lately. So, yes, I am hoping with X; but still trying to move forward as best I can, if it means without her. Just a tough time.
Happy New Year to you and I hope the next year is better for all of us.
