I had my first date tonight
| Thu, 10-28-2010 - 1:13am |
I know there will be skepticism - I had my own - and have been turning this person down for quite a while.
However - 2 great things about the date:
1) He's not a rebound - we had a great time laughing and discussing a plethora of topics (he's selling his home in London, Im an accountant) you know...light focus / business / not heavy relationship stuff or ANY relationship stuff, except the fact that I told him

Melinda,
YES YES YES!!! COMPLETELY KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!!! Im glad you said that about going underground with your truth/ feelings only to have your expressing your needs later causing conflict - because we sort of set ourselves up that way. But this time for me too...I COMPLETELY RISKED...the rejection of the SAM not liking my "IM GOING TO GO VERY SLOW" answer...but he respected that and heard me.
I think dating is a nice opportunity to exercise our assertiveness skills & put into practice what we're trying to fix (which we learned of during the a) :)
I love also that we're not all over eachother today with texting. We expressed that we both enjoyed the date & would be interested in doing it again. That was enough. :)
Im so thrilled about things right now!!!
So Im actually laying here trying to find some SNOW! anywhere in the states - as Its going to be 90 degrees here tomorrow. I need some cool weather. Looks like I can go to Wyoming or possibly Colorado.
Happy Friday to you!!!! Have a really good one!! How have you been doing?
Michelle
Thanks TU!!
Im so glad to know that we get to choose our own timetable and level of involvement based on where we are in our "head space" and growth.
Yeah, the NORMAL feelings is the biggie for me! I just losing my breath in excitement over it. Where FINALLY for once...MY CHOICES only impact ME. Its the first time in 3 yrs where I didnt consult ANYONE with my decision & that felt PRETTY DARN GOOD!
Happy Friday to you, TU!!!
Any big plans this weekend? Any thing fun?? How have you been doing with things?
xo,
Michelle
