ITA--you can't expect the first date after the divorce to be perfect...and you can't expect ANY first date to be perfect!

My take is that she could have taken off after dinner but walked with you afterwards.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. On one side you can be happy she is confident, gainfully employed and responsible enough to watch the clock so she can get up for work the next day. You can also be grateful she had such a long commute after the date and that she would agree to see you considering she had such a long drive.

Or you can be upset by it - it is your own right to take either course.

Personally, I would be bothered more by the distance than anything else. But that is me. I like someone responsible and on time. And I would appreciate that they traveled so well for me.

I think though, that if I was in your shoes after a horrific marriage and divorce, that I would want to date casually to figure out just what I want in a person and situation. You sound hesitant - so maybe that is your answer? Keep on lookin' and enjoy the process!!

It sounds like it went well Mike. As others said she could have said no to the walk, so I think that's a good sign.

That must feel really odd! I have only recently separated, but was married for 21 years, together for over 22, so I can can imagine how that would feel! :o)

Perhaps "granted" was not the right word.


I asked her what she would like to do and suggested the walk. She checked the time and thought for a few seconds before agreeing and explaining her decision. That's why

YEAH - glad to hear you have another date!!

"I enjoyed the moment, but would have liked more time with her, which is why I was a little disappointed."

That is a good thing! Perhaps we should all be taking notes - keep 'em short so he wants more! Good to have a man around our house!! :-)
