thanks, everyone....

I didn't have plans with friends for V day. I was just planning on going to see my favorite band and run into my friends there. No formal plan was canceled. I will still go see my band after dinner. He will most likely come with me since he goes to see this band Wed nights too.

Healing, I do believe it is a casual date with him, or rather non date, because that's what I want it to be.

Forwhatisworth, that's great advice! I will do just that!!!

Divine, I've gone on platonic V day dates before with men. It's not a big deal. I said yes to him because it sounded like fun and I would love to go out to dinner.. .not just on that particular night, but in general.

And I am grieving. I cried yesterday over my most recent ex. I am writing in my journal. Today I am alone at home working on my own stuff and am reflecting on my past relationships. I am taking the time I need to reflect and heal. I am not rushing into a relationship with this guy.
