Date Night Responses

Oh Boy….Where do I start….

Yes, I do know this man, I have know him for 3 years, maybe reread my first post. No he is NOT dating anyone….As for as the psycho-analysing this date, ( I agree I do have the tendencies). I also did say that I think I need more time…to regroup, also in my first post…:) Wedding plans….I must have missed something there…:}

What I found out about myself was that I don't feel guilty about dating, but I am not 100% ready. That there are men out there that raise kids differently, which I think I needed to see, I think if it was like the last one I would have crawled under a rock….THATS IT…no more men with kids…I got a bit of a ego boost, and hope restored. Yes the kids are young, I am keeping my mouth closed and my hands to myself. ... Eye-wink

As far as my mind and my thinking…. I dump it here, I think I am too raw to be trusting any man, no matter how pretty, until I dump all details on here. I love it, no hiding no bullshit, no candy coating.

He did text last night and we talked on the phone for bit, no mention of date 2….but I am working midnights. I told him I would text him sometime today. I will just say Hi…hows your day…

Again…I love all your responses….THank You Smiling Smiling

Hey, Vanessa, it's the wild west out here. If you stay around long enough you will find there are voices you look forward to hearing and others you learn to tune out. You will also be surprised that sometimes one of your favorites will announce they are a big fan of someone on your "do not read" list. It's all banditos and saloon girls here, some you dodge others you tip, all part of the package.

We need your voice so please settle in and get comfortable. We will be interested in your dating journey. Especially after one bad experience with a potential step-disaster, it will be fun to see what you notice in the new men in your life that you would not have picked up on before.

Sometimes it is the advice that stings a little that actually inspires real introspection. Maybe that introspection leads to a knowing that you thoroughly examined yourself and feel confident that you are OK/doing the right thing. And sometimes that introspection leads you to recognizing yourself in the negative comment and pulling yourself up.

Either way- good outcome.

Some of the best advice I've ever gotten here burned a little at first. Then I realized it stung because it was true.
