That sounds great, BM! I’m sure today’s dating scene must be jarring to someone who was married and out of the game for awhile. You’ll get the hang of it. And it’s wonderful that you seem self-aware and are working on yourself in therapy. Good humor and banter make for good dates, IMO. Like Kate said, if you had a good time and would go out with her again, you text to say as much. As a woman, any time the man paid for a date, it felt kinda nonnegotiable to be the one to reach out first when I felt that way, but often the men who were very interested in going out again would text me before I even got home.

I also have good news. I accepted a job offer. Finally. I’ve been looking, albeit somewhat casually, for about a year and a half. I started taking anti-depressants for the first time a few months ago… I think the lack of stimulation at my job + low morale contributed to the state I got to where that felt like the right choice for me. I’m nervous to leave after spending so long at one company, but hopeful that the move will be a positive one.
