It's been a long time since I posted and I doubt if anyone here remembers me, but I have a date tonight and I must be so out of practice because I am so flippin' nervous!
Brief story: Been officially divorced almost two years, but with separation, closer to three; didn't date until after ex was out of house for 15 months; dated an emotionally unavailable commitment phobe on and off for the last year; told him to pony up and learn to be That Guy (relationship guy) or go away; he went away; finally have my wings back and am ready to date again.
In the past year, while dating the on/off guy, I went on several dates, courtesy of Match. But that was last fall.
Now I have a date with a guy that I met last week (in a bar, I know, I know, but so far he checks out. I am a good sleuth and have a lot of insider connections to checking people out. Part of my baggage, from having to track down my cheating ex spouse).
Anyway, just coming back here because I am suddenly hit with an attack of the Nervous Nellies and am feeling the old self-esteem issues that I've had in the past (I think that I am a pretty good catch and I realize that, but after being traded in for a younger thang after 10 years of marriage, your self esteem takes a hit).
It may be too late to ask for encouragement because I have to leave to meet him soon, but I'll try.
I once read a post of gigi's that said, It's just a date. Just a two hour commitment to be polite. That's it.
