For once I have something good to post. I am 33yrs old and going on a date. I haven't been on a date in years. A very dear friend of mine is taking me to see Harry Potter. He knows I am a huge fan. He lives 2 hours away and will be driving here to take me to the movie and dinner. I haven't been on a date in so long that I am actually nervous. I am so excited. LOL I feel like a school girl agian having to figure out the perfect outfit and so on. And the date is not for at least 2 weeks. He has to plan ahead with his job. Is this normal for someone my age? Shouldn't I be all calm and relaxed about it instead of this excited and nervous?

THe awsome thing about this guy is I have known him since I was 15. We went to school together. We have always kept in contact regaurdless of what my AH tried to do to scare him off like all my other friends. He has never drank, done drugs or gambled and has no interest in it. Sigh of relief here. lol He is also a wonderful father having raised his 13yr old son on his own and his son is wonderful. He and my daughter used to play together when they were young.

This guy says it is our first official date. lol He knows all about my AH and all that has gone on. He has been my confident for the past several months. And has been there when I ended up in the hospital. I am so excited.

Wow Nikki ~ I'm so excited for you. I'm 32 and probably about to be single after a 9 year relationship. Thank you for sharing your excitement. It makes me think about what a fun and exciting time that can be... I hope you have fun!

Mine lasted 7yrs. And it took a long time for me to be able to handle the fact that I was going to be single agian. Now I am fine with it. And actually relieved to no longer having to deal with the majority of the stress I had to before. There is sunny skies afterward. I didn't think so before but there is.

As sad as the endings may be, it's a part of getting through to the new beginnings.

I too feel your excitement and am cheering you on. Your friend sounds like a great person, and I hope you both have a wonderful time at the movie and dinner.
