A nice weekend! Best in ages.
Kids are happy, didnt think about AW, spent day with my folks, brother and his wife.
got a freezer full of food ready to go.....all is good. Little worried about how this week will go with AW having the kids....but I'll cross those bridges at the time.
oh...and my internet date has moved our next meeting to friday because "she has to work wed early and may want to stay in bed the morning after our date" - that, and the text conversation that followed seem to suggest that I have stumbled upon the most sexually forward woman in London.
Which....is quite handy for me! Not for "that" reason
but because it means she is staggeringly inappropriate as anything serious - which is the last thing I want.
In fact, I have a suspicion that very shortly I will have dealt with my "low self worth" demons and be happy to just plod on single for the foreseeable future....confident that female company is never far away when I'm ready.
Not sure if its because AW cheated or the low self worth thing or just the fact Ive been without SOBER closeness in ages.....but this all feels very ok. (oh, but I did arrange a drink with someone else for tues instead...but only because she asked and seemed cute....I didnt want to be rude!!!)

I think she'll be relived.....it means she doesn't how to worry about me trying to get her back which is big fear of hers.

Re: the internet. Play the field for a while Lewis; meeting someone on the internet is quite different than the 3-d world. I had a great time "dating" before I met a few who might be keepers, and with whom I was willing to "spend the night". Not sure I made a very good choice but hey, you gotta try!
Good luck...

Yep, got a few dates in the diary now....Tonight and Friday, then next tues.
Its perfect for me, they are mostly busy professionals (tonight is a neuro doctor!) who dont have time to meet people but wnat to have some nice company for a drink.
Exactly what I need - I cant imagine having a "partner" in any sense for years - focus is the kids. But when they are with her.....I'm not going to sit in and be miserable!

I think it must be a personality difference. I unfortunely am heading down this same road, but dating or being with another woman (no offense ladies) is the last thing that I want or am looking for.

It's late in the uk....so I'll update tomorrow on why I think I am okay to date so soon, mentally (because it is something I've given a lot of thought to)
But in the meantime..... Tonights date was terrible I walked back to my car laughing at how bad it had been!
I guess some of them had to be bad so at least I'm getting them out of the way early
