Ready to date again?

How do you know for sure that you are ready to date again? Just curious to know how everyone knows...


I've been going back and forth on this lately. One day I'm ready to roll, next day I want nothing to do with any man. It gets confusing/aggravating. Kinda makes me wonder at my stability. ;)

Yeah, I think we all want a man when we get randy, but luckily it passes. LOL I go through the same thing. I have been on my own for 5 years and I love living alone and not really sure I want to live with someone ever again. I do have a friend that he and his GF have been together for quite awhile and still maintain their separate homes. Do maybe I could find someone who would be happy with that kind of arrangement.

I love living alone because of some of the things you mentioned.
I go to bed when I want & get up when I want.
If I want to go somewhere, I don't have to tell any one or ask their permission.
I only have to cook what I like to eat! If I don't want to cook, I don't have to.
I can have a clean kitchen all the time!
I don't have to worry when I have to run to the bathroom that the seat will be up.
I no longer have to listen to stupid put down comments that men think are so funny.
I know exactly what is and isn't my fault.
I watch what I want to on TV and only what I want to. I don't have to set through something, just because he wants to watch it and wants me to watch it with him. My ex loved horror movies and would get upset if I did not watch them with him. I can't watch them, blood and gore really makes me ill.
NO IN-LAWS!
It is my money and I can spent it any way I damn well please! I also do not feel guilty about spending money on ME!
I am a morning person. I love to get up early on Saturday and go shopping. My ex always want to go with me, but would never get up before 9 and by that time I could have been done and back home.

You had better be careful, you might find that you really love being alone and want to stay that way. LOL

The best thing about being w/o my STBX is that my kids are happy again.

O'my Goodness! I used to be a huge Bronco fan! My ex really did not care for football. But every time the Bronco's played he would start that stuff and support the other team. It really bothered me a lot as I had to go through 3 years of watching them go to the Super Bowl and losing. He would start as soon as it was announced that they were going about how they were going to lose. Then he always made a big deal out of the fact that they lost.

Now I watch NASCAR and I like to watch it alone. My sister got me into it, but we do not agree on Drivers. WE both like Jeff Gordon, but I also like Dale Jr, and she can't stand him. If it looks like Jeff can't win, I will pull for Dale and she would rather see anyone else win. My favorite is Michael Waltrip, but haven't seen him win in a long time. She doesn't mind if I pull for Michael, but you sure do not want to mention Dale when she is around! LOL

I have to say I really don't know anything about NASCAR.

It doesn't hurt that he is very handsome either does it?

The net worth of John Henry is believed to be in the $800 million range.

You need to start going to the games and making it a point to run into him!
