I just reached out to a guy I had connected with previously on OkC. I figure why not? I was curious before about him, before I started dating this guy.

I know I said I would stay single now. But he just popped into my head and I reached out to him on a whim.

I need to move on somehow. Maybe that WILL include a date here and there.

I also feel FAR better today for some reason. Maybe getting out to see my friends helped, and getting support from them over this. I also realize that I did not get emotionally attached to this man -- we did not have an emotional connection yet... I did not share much of myself with him, I held my cards closely to me and did not fall in love, though there was twinge of that feeling beginning.

I am SO glad he told me this and gave me the chance to leave before anything hurtful happened. Thank goodness!!! I would not have been able to stomach that kind of pain on the heels of my other breakup. That could have ruined me.
