I am happy alone... it's that I have not had a healthy, stable or fulfilling relationship in YEARS, if ever, and I want a life partner. I want to fall in love again, but with the RIGHT man this time. And, I am not settling for less. I will walk away from all the wrong ones until that special one comes along. But for now, I'm going to be single and happy, and I will pursue my own goals and activities.

Guy #2 has moved on really quickly and seems to have found an immediate "plug-in" girlfriend. Granted, we only dated for one month, but he found someone else immediately, I've bumped into them as a couple twice while out for music, and I've seen pics of them posted having brunch and dinner with friends. OY.
It's almost as though he already had someone lined up while we were together! Or, it makes me wonder if he had a woman in the sidelines. He seems like the shady type who might do that. Well, I know I am better off without him. He was shady with far too many red flags. She can deal with his constant stories of his "crazy" ex's, the constant stories of this woman or that woman being interested in him and chasing him, the constant revolving door of friends being over and staying overnight, the constant partying and drug scene and all the rest that I had issues with. Good luck to her! lol. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

Ok, I am not dating per se, but I did meet a new man and am talking to him. We became friends on Facebook and we've been texting. I am very wary and feeling very cautious. He's joining me on Christmas night to go see a band. He's picking me up and is driving me home. We have not discussed dating or what we are doing at all. We're just casually talking.
A large part of me wants to run away. After the very few brief dating encounters I've had after my divorce, I don't even know how interested I am in a relationship. I feel damaged. I feel wary. I don't want to ruin anything that I've built back up. Maybe I'm really just not ready. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

Ok, I met up with the guy I mention above on Christmas night. We had a lot of fun together. He was cracking me up all night and was hilarious. However, he has quite the past. And he's not in a good position in his career or financially and that makes me very wary. That's exactly where my ex husband was when we met. No thanks. I am not going to pay for all our dates.
Granted, I am the one who picked this guy up. I noticed him in a crowd at the club one night, and I went over to talk to him. I don't think he was even looking. So this guy is mr fun guy - the guy I call to have fun with once in a while. He is not relationship material. At least not now. Oh well. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

Mr fun guy is also mr sex guy. We had sex. Now we're hanging out on NYE as well and will have sex again. That's fine. I've wanted a hook up for a few months now.
I am also feeling like perhaps I will never want a relationship again. My marriage was SO toxic, I don't know if I can truly recover from it. And I don't know if I ever want to let someone in again at that level. I may want to live alone for the rest of my life. I've also made so many poor choices in men I don't know if I trust my judgement or attractions at this stage. This guy is no boy scout. And, of course, I am the one who picked him out of a crowd. I have a broken picker, as my friend calls it. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |
