So, here I am, single mom to two beautiful loving kids. One is in his twenties and doing quite well in life and the other is still in grade school, embarking on the homeschooling journey with her mom. That does not make me anxious, mothering is what I do and have been doing the past ten years, but its ALL I do. That is to say, I haven't made time for 'dating' or being out with people who are not family and I have settled in to a life without the games, rules, and guesswork involved in 'dating'. I am responsible for me and my kids and Im pretty good at that. Now, my eldest is INSISTENT that I need someone else beside his sister and himself. I am considering his POV, but here is where I get anxious. I have NO IDEA what dating is in these times. I rarely even dated when I did know because Im more the marrying type and was married for most of my adult life. I am, from my memory, VERY physical and very easily ... excited lets say. That is an area I know I am vulnerable to, but I do not want to get into something that immediately turns physical and I am a little anxious about how well I would 'handle' it once it did. What are some ideas for non intimate dates that can still be enjoyable for the guy and not scare or bore them off? I would shy away from dates that take place in the night time for awhile, since the stereo type ending to a night date put pressure on both people I would start out with some lunch dates or a weekend day date to a site that both like. Maybe a drive in the country "to nowhere".. visit some small towns.. explore a bit" maybe Lunch and a movie, a sporting event, ect, ect build up to the night date, when you are ready and when you feel confident his is serious As for " handling it".. its like riding a bike.. you never forget how |

Dating doesn't have to always get physical. I've been on several dates. Movies, fine dinning, festivals etc. That's how you get know a man. Online dating is OK as long as the man meets a woman inperson. I'm outgoing and not a real homebody. I think marriage is great, if I ever meet and fall in love and he asks! I have turned down 3 proposals!

Whatever keeps you from trying to control everything and allows you to focus on your interaction with him or the activity rather than shoulda woulda coulda's. |
