Was interested in getting some perspective from other members on this board regarding new relationships.
9 months after my ex and I separated, I started dating one of her friends and we started living together 5/7 days per week. We had a very good time, but she was on "10" and I was on "5" so the relationship ended. We parted on good terms and still keep in touch.
After that ended, I went on a few dates with 5 different girls but did not feel there was much chemistry with any of them. I then took a 3 month break to clear my head.
I recently started dating a VERY nice girl and our chemistry is excellent. We enjoy spending time together, going to dinner and chatting at Starbucks. My divorce went final in August and her divorce should be final in January. She has a 6 year old boy, I have a 7 year old girl and we live less than 4 miles apart. Overall, a pretty nice situation.
One issue has surfaced in that I find I am a bit reluctant to enter into a "full blow" physical relationship. I am very attracted to this person, but for some reason I find I am a bit apprehensive to really go for it. I told Ms. X that I want to take things a step at a time and I do not want to f* this up. We have only been togeter a few weeks, but it seems longer.
Your thoughts...
PS My ex and I are getting along very well and are on the path to friendship. My daughter and I also have a great relationship. Right now, life is good.
You've been through quite a few women in a short period of time. Believe me, we're all looking at this through a very-different pre-divorce lens, when our lives were not so complicated. Live your life, but you won't be yourself for quite sometime. Take it slow. It's all new now, so it's great. Be careful, you're still not totally healed. Don't look for a "rebound" so fast
Have you checked the "rebound" thread at the top of the forum?
(Oh, and fish, it is probably easier to stick to one thread - I just noticed that you have another 2 going on here at the same time, and it will be hard to follow all the back and forth that way...)
Fish, fish, fish! Three months does not clear ones head, it's a short pause to blow your nose! You two shouldn't even be talking R yet and the fact that you are tells me this is going way too fast. What more can I say?
I hear what you are saying about taking things slow. No need to go full blast into a new relationship. We do like each other very much and enjoy spending time together.
Went out to a really nice dinner on Saturday night and had a fantastic time. She looked amazing in a really cool black dress. It is nice spending time with someone who brings out the best in you.
