My mother comments that I am in control when it comes to other men. What she means by that is be picky and choosy, and don't just take any man who is interested in you. That's been my MO of the past. I would usually get involved with whatever man showed the most interest in me. So he basically chose me. I want to choose this next go around, whenever that is.

I am noticing that I am getting a lot of attention when I go out. I am not used to this attention given that I've been involved in relationships for a number of years and it's been a long time since I've gone out by myself. It's nice, but I am also guarded.

That same dude followed me all over the dance floor last night, trying to buy me a beer. I kept ditching him, hoping he'd get the hint. I look forward to the day when I have females to hang out with.... I will figure that part out. For now, I am enjoying my freedom and quite honestly, the attention can be nice sometimes. My husband made me feel like no man other than him will be interested in me, and that's just not true.
