Glad to hear you doing so well. Like Corri and HP, I am sometimes embarrassed on behalf of womankind for the dating behaviors of women. I am hopeful that your tactics will cull through some of the goofiness that passes for dating conversation and help you find someone that is able to converse on the level you are looking for.
The problem with the agegroup you are dating in (unless you want to date 20 year olds instead) is the old biolgical clock. It really scares some women but where they miss the boat is that if you are only pressing someone to move an R along in order to have a baby and end up divorced in the end you may as well go to a sperm bank. It is a whole lot less messy and painful. I am absolutely militant with women I know about not pressing and manipulating some poor man to the altar - that kind of thing comes back at you in ways you couldn't possibly guess at the outset.
I am doing well - I have gained a few pound right out front. I was initially unable to work out but have gotten into safe territory to resume some mild workouts again. My H is a big fan of the pregnant form (go figure) so I am happily being "petted" regularly. I am into the second trimester now so I will be able to resume regular workouts.
Keep us posted Bf - we enjoy knowing how you are and living vicariously through you and Corri's dating lives.
