I'm feeling really good about the direction things are going with MM. No official "talk", yet.


But here's why i'm so positive. We drove together to flag football and a few people took notice of that... but what's good is he wasn't acting like he didn't want people to know we were dating. Although he did say he doesn't like acting like a "couple" at meetups because everyone else is single. He said stuff after we left like "i couldn't wait to kiss you" or "hold you"... etc. And when we left, it was obvious we were going on a date.. people asked, where are you two going. Or you and MM are going to a movie together? i don't like the idea of people gossiping but i didn't like hiding either... so i feel this was a significant step.


After football was a movie. The movie was great. That was my first "movie date" in FOREVER. I forgot how much better is it to watch with a date... he held my hand, rubbed my shoulders, etc... just a real closeness.. . I enjoy that we have soo much fun together or with a big group.


And i was right about him missing me on those meetups that i can't make.. he said "meetups are weird now when you're not there.. I miss you. It's not as much fun without you anymore."... he he he .. sounds like a guy who's falling for me, i think.


And another thing to note is that when we went back to his place... we didn't have sex. We just sat and talked and snuggled.... some kissing. But that was it... i'm feeling like if he just wanted a hook up... then things would be all about sex right now but they aren't.


And i feel less like trying to meet someone new and more about planning my next date with MM...

I agree! much better than the whirlwind!


We saw "The Dark Knight"... he saw it already but knew that i hadn't seen it yet. So when he saw it playing at one of those "we play old stuff" theaters, he invited me. cool, huh? Feels like he's always looking into new things we can do together..... He even suggested karaoke because he loves hearing me sing.


Yes, eyes wide open.

That is good Loony!


I am happy you are enjoying your time with MM. I'll be honest..I worry that you will fall hard and then he will back out because of his initial honesty about the kids. It seems that he is really enjoying you as a person, the inside loony and I'm happy it is not about just sex. I imagine that you can really enjoy this relationship as long as you keep the wall up enough to not get hurt. If he suddenly changed and wanted to be a part of your kids lives too, well then maybe the wall could come down all the way. Be careful! But I am happy for your happiness :o)

I never thought he wanted to just hook up. He is interested in you and playing it safe and taking it slowly. Nothing wrong with that. Just hang out and enjoy it. Sometimes I wish I were in your shoes. Once things get serious, exclusive and physical it gets complicated too.
