Leshar , this guys a little bit of a disappointment in that comment " feel free to see other men " hmmmmm that's not something I would like to hear.

Thank you so much, Casey, Croissant and Snoozy for your support. It helps and means a lot to me.
I'm lonely, but I don't need this nonsense a mere 3 weeks into seeing this fellow. If/when he deigns to contact me again, I think I will just have to tell him that we are really not a good match. He has no money which didn't worry me initially, but really, I would like to be able to have a travelling companion. I've been invited to my nephews wedding in Western Canada next year, and Rod wouldn't be able to afford to go. He's a nice man, but I just want to have some fun and a companion. All this heaviness at this stage makes no sense to me.
Croissant, be careful with those paid matchmaking services. A friend used a renowned Toronto one, and she was introduced to some duds and it cost her around $3000 or so. Dating sites are odd, maybe Rod has met someone else. It's too easy to dump someone because there's always the chance of someone else being next up!
Rod left beer and wine here which I will now happily dump!
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Glad to hear you're on the mend, Dee.

Sounds like you've got the right attitude about this whole situation, Leshar. Keep on keeping on.
Three months for me today. I didn't get too excited about one and two months because I'd been there before. But I'm pretty stoked about this one. It feels good to finally feel like I'm on the right path, the one I've been searching out for years and years now.
Work tonight. Various errands beforehand. Congrats again to Petecrab on his special day and hope everyone is having a safe and sober weekend.

I never could have made this trip if I were still drinking.
Hangovers,bathroom breaks and basically fear would have made it nearly impossible.
Isn't it funny how alcohol,the"cure" for fear and anxiety actually causes more than takes away?
Case in point. While in Florida I started the car one morning and we had a "check engine "light.
In the past I would have freaked knowing how far from home we were.
Searched for a local dealership and had the car checked before the trip back home. Just some sensor that's for emissions. Back on the road in an hour.
I feel as though my life is very different now. And although I may think of alcohol on occasion. I know that it would lead to a life I do not want anymore.
I deserve better and so do the folks that love me.

Oh Bob, you are so right about the freaking out! In fact, I think we get so used to it while drinking, it takes some time in sobriety to realise that's on old response mechansim that can sometimes happen. I get it rarely now, but I had the exact same thing with a warning light recently that would have felt overwhelming and panic-inducing when I was drinking.
Haha on the Aussie accent, yes, I am planning another trip back to the U.S. next year, so who knows!
Leshar, I'm with you on the dating services. I looked at one here a while ago and it was hugely questionable and they never got my money. The one I am considering is run by an old friend I've been out of contact with for some time, but has a good reputation. Anyway, it's an option I'm considering down the track, but not until next year, when I return from my holiday, most likely. (And hey, I might not need it by then!)
I think you are right in finding someone who can afford to travel with you. Money isn't everything, but I think we do need someone who can at least live the lifestyle we want to live, whatever that means to us as individuals. Particularly as you are retired now, it's bloody time to have some fun.

Remember, I did a lot of emotional work, working through arguments with my family last year (and still the occasional one now with my daughters), a death, grieving my ex partner. Maybe some of that stuff was delayed for you and only coming out now because of circumstances with your son and grandchildren? Don't be too hard on yourself, BUT...you need to feed your soul and love yourself through the hard times, honey.xx
