cultivating Diane for a while

I just broke up with my beau in September. Our break-up was initially cordial until he began stalking me. He showed up at my place a couple times and sent me nasty e-mails. The second time he came around I had to call the cops and put out a protective order because he was threatening me. Luckily, I am blessed to have awesome friends, an incredible job and wonderful family. I also am so overjoyed to have him out of my life! I cannot believe I went to court for the protective order alone and without flinching, was able to face him. I feel pretty darn kick arse!

Because of my newfound singlehood and sense of power, I am attracting a lot of men eager to date me and pals that want to fix me up. It feels wonderful and very scary. I went out on two dates, but was super uncomfortable. I have no interest in dating at all. Not even casually. I was living with a controlling sad sack for over a year and now that I am free, I want to truly discover who I am and what I like. I went through this before when I first started dating my now ex. I had just broken-up with someone, and went right into another relationship. What I need is advice and support on how to cultivate a boy-free life for a while. I am trying, but it is really hard. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

That does help for sure! I have been trying to please everyone and appreciate all the attention, but I am more enthusiastic than ever about redoing my wardrobe, apartment, traveling alone and with gal pals, painting, sewing, teaching! Thanks so much!

Welcome to the board kickitbaby,


If you aren't ready to date, no one says you have to.

How long did it take you to leave? What made you leave?
