I’ll turn this back to dating. Date four tonight in 1.5 weeks! This is the fireworks over Navy Pier date from his patio. Oh… and we’ve been routinely texting in the evening and I think every single night he’s ended it with a “sweet dreams” and I a “sleep tight.” Omg, completely barf worthy, yet I can’t help but smile.
Oh my god, kare, I’m so sorry. There is nothing worse than smug married or coupled friends telling you to get back out there and date. Take as long as you need to feel ready to date again. Dating sometimes sucks and if you need a break, that’s ok. I’m firmly believe that if you force yourself to do something you’re not really into at the moment, bad decisions are made. I think you’re much better off moving at your own pace and being happy with yourself. I think you should consider cultivating new friendships then move into dating.
I feel you. I really do. I’ve been exactly where you are… although my dating hiatus was up to a year and four of my married/engaged/coupled friends attacked me last spring. The thing was, I never complained about being single so I’m not sure where they were coming from. Anyway, I didn’t give into their pressure and join dating sites because I knew in my heart I wasn’t ready.
Anyway, I hope that helps you feel a little better.
