Divorce Support Forums: Am I being fair here?

wow your story is exactly like mine with my date. She's into cars, i'm into computers, she likes movies, i like dinners. both of us gush our thoughts 100%. She's been alone longer than I have, and had more dates where most of them have been absolutely terrible. She likes the time she spends with me, I like the time I spend with her.

I do tend to think about my fairy tale relationship that I had with my ex. It sucks that right now that fairy tale is lost. It sucks that she's starting her new fairy tale with a new man.

I keep having doubts that I'm not ready to date, yet I can't live like a hermit either. After all, how are we supposed to improve ourselves if we don't try? How can we get more out of life if we don't step outside and put ourselves at risk? I started dating again because I took the advice "dont be affraid of getting hurt". I figured if I don't risk the pain, I may never find the pleasure.

I don't think i'll marry this girl that I'm seeing. Yet I don't want to run away from new things. I am affraid of hurting her, or breaking her heart, as well as getting my own broken. I know I can handle a broken heart, after all I've been through it before.

OH well. Honesty is the best thing. I figured if we are both honest at saying that we 'like' each other but don't 'love' each other, at least we are honest and not misleading.
