I would not avoid answering that question. The right guy is not going to take that information as an interview or neediness, the right guy will respond with compassionand genuine interest. Keep being honest, I feel certain that the right guy will respond accordingly.


I am so sorry for your loss. You're very brave to be willing to step out again and feel the life outside and you're so deserving of it. I wish you all the luck in the world.


Welcome to the board!!

I'm new to being single, but I'd say a guy has a right to ask.

Hi Jenn and welcome to you and our original poster mommiladi - your response to mommiladi is great. I agree - that she should step up and explain matter of factly just how it is of what happened and what she expects. I hope you stick around and post more!!

And to mommiladi - welcome - sorry to hear of your loss - but good luck in getting back out there. Keep us posted - and we hope you participate in our threads.

I think this message and the one from Soonee show that you need to remind everyone that you are not in their imagined stereotype and WANT to get out and have fun. That you are ready for the next chapter.

I am so glad you joined us - hope to hear more from you - feel free to jump in and participate in all of our threads. We can always use more people to help us!!! And we want your updates, too!!
