j--I guess we all date in our own time. My X was my high school sweetheart--together 22 years--as I'm sure many of you here were in that same sitch. I have three children with him--all are still at home--8, 12, and 15. Maybe that is some of the problem. The idea of bringing someone else into their lives. And also, opening my heart to the possibility of pain again.
Yes, I have been asked out. None of them have given me that spark. One that I did feel an attraction to quickly showed me that some men are just not what I need. He was one that gravitated from married woman, to recently seperated women. That was what he looked for. I guess the morals weren't there for me.
I heard the phrase just a couple of nights ago (for those of you who watch Grey's Anatomy)--I think it was 'you don't need a man to define who you are'---I firmly believe that and always have. Yes, I would like a man in my life---but I am not one to go bar hopping--I'm not one to bounce from man to man to man. I guess the person that enters my life is going to have to be really special to invite him into my life and my kids' lives. I have them to consider too.
No one has caught my attention yet. So I guess I am not ready, or that special someone hasn't shown up yet. I am in no rush, and am still busy finding myself again.
