I know that's what is suggested. That's why my sponser knows everything I do, and if I hadn't worked all the steps and already started sponsering, I'd never dream of getting into a relationship. I'm also very aware that I can't stop something that my HP puts in front of me. If my HP thinks it's too soon, then nothing will develop. That's something I understand today and am not longer trying to force something or manipulate a situation to suit me best. I don't intend to start anything incredibly serious, just dating.
