Re: The No-Date Era LostTeacher: i am at almost 13 months.
have danced with a few guys. even had one calling a pursuiting me, but that was until i found out that he had a girlfriend, and then i put a stop to that rather quickly.
so....that kind of turned me off a bit.
but 13 months.....that is so pathetic.
but i guess when you had a guarenteed date since you were 14, anything is going to sound long.
sure ready to start trying....but where are all the good guys?? (beside you fre, of course!) where the hell am i going to find one?

Re: The No-Date Era dgiirl: *waves back to fre* come here often? :)
LT, it's not pathetic at all. To be honest, I've only dated 3 guys in my life. My first bf when I was 16. We broke up after 6 months. 2 years later I had a "i dont know what you would call it" with a 23 year old for about 2 months. 2 years after that I met my exh. So based on my past experiences, I'm predicting atleast 2 years of solitude, atleast. Maybe even 4 years b4 i find someone serious.

Re: The No-Date Era tara: It depends.
I started dating J about 6 weeks after my ex and I finally completely broke up (which was after we filed for divorce, but about 3 months before the divorce was final).
BUT: I started dating J three and a half years after my ex and I started down that path, and about two years after I almost completely checked out, and about 6 months after the last-ditch-denial-efforts...
Re: The No-Date Era Soo: I didn't date for about a year. I did think, "the longer you wait and the better you can become, the better the prize will be." Ya know, "the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice, or the deeper the roots (as Tupac would say); nah. Not the case for me.
Re: The No-Date Era minneapolis: It's been 11 months for me. Honestly, I never even considered dating until a week ago or so when my ex-MIL asked me if I was dating. My initial reaction was complete repulsion. Seriously. I honestly believe that there is no way I could ever trust anyone again to the point where I would re-marry. But then a friend pointed out to me that sometimes the point of dating is not to find a spouse, but just to have fun and see a play and go to new restaurants. That made it a lot more palatable to me. So I'm thinking maybe after the new year starts I'll give it a go. But how does one do that? I've really no clue, was with my ex for 13 years.
I think I have a huge fear of rejection that is also holding me back. If my husband didn't want me, who else possibly could?
