Me
Well, I am back from my vacation. I had a great time. I had some discussions with my brother in law and sister in law and i feel so much better about it.. I also went on a date when I got home. had a nice time but I think i screwed it up. I let too much of my emotions get in the way of starting a friendship with this guy.. I over think things and I have to remember to keep my other life out of the discussion on a first date. I don't know if this guy will call me back or not he did not say. We had talked for days before we met his last message to me said "we will talk another day" not sure what that really means.. Will have to wait and see.. I was not having a good day today..

Sorry about your date Ann. Maybe things went better then you think they did. I am glad you had a good time on your vacation and it sounds like your talks went well with your in-laws. I'm sure things will continue to get briter with each passing day. You've made great strides,

((hugs)) It must be tremendously difficult to get back into dating again. I give you credit for having the courage to reach out and try! Of course you forget to keep your "other life" out of it....I think that's probably very natural and normal. I can only assume (hope?) that dating, like the rest of our lives after our losses, will get easier over time. Wishing you the best.

((((Ann)))) Don't beat yourself up over this date. I don't know how many you've been on since losing your husband but I am going to assume it is not easy getting back into dating. I haven't attempted dating nor am I ready as I'm just going on 9 months out. Emotions are a very big part of the widow/ers life. Not sure if and when that will end. Be good and kind to yourself. When the time is right you'll find someone to love again.
