Ali, I was just telling you my story in having been involved with someone in the program. He had years + more "sober time" than I did and I wasn't a newbie. I was Mrs AA and very involved in the program.
The point I was trying to make was that you have only been out with him once....do you know that he is interested in having a relationship with... you, beyond hanging out now and again. I was just cautioning you against possibly assuming that because the other day went well and he said he would call you.
And for the record, you are correct that such situations can happen anywhere, but in my experience, they seem to happen a lot in the rooms of AA. That WAS my experience.
