LH - I agree. For me, at minimum....they have to cuss and like to drink. I tried to go on a date with someone that was a non-drinker and the only option was organizing a coffee date. We ended up not meeting but it just felt kind of weird from the start.

Ok.so you do realize that when you match on Bumble that involves a man and a woman so there are the same amount of men matching as woman. So based on the GInger theory she is matching with men who are in her league while you are selecting women out of your league.

Isn't this the same woman who tried to make you jealous with the patient? I have no doubt there are male creepers on OLD. That's why I was a woman I may not do it.

Totally agree. At times my life is like an episode of Californication so if you find that disturbing we probably won't be a match lol.

LOL.....too funny. It's definitely things like that which you might not think about initially which could end up being a big deal as you get to know someone.

One thing I like about the DR. is that our schedules are very well aligned. She is not a party animal, needing to stay out until midnight partying the night away. While I like to drink and go out we are very much early to bed and early to rise kind of people.

I also like the fact that she has a son and not a daughter as well. I didn't think about stuff like that before but I could see having kids around the same age and the same sex could be problematic. Especially girls.

Yeah my best friend and his ex girlfriend broke up and one of the reasons was because their girls who were the same age didn't get along well.

Right...I hear that can cause issues. My mom was the one that actually pointed that out to me as one of the girls I went on a couple of dates with had a daughter that was in 6th grade and in competitive cheer. When I was telling my mom about the girl she made the comment that she would be concerned for my 2 daughters and how they would handle it.

She brought up a good point and something that I hadn't thought about before.

When I talk to my mom about the DR she just tells me I am afraid and trying to fight my feelings.

It's tough. I mean just two years ago you thought you were happily married and now you have to decide if you are going to get locked down again maybe for the rest of your life. Crazy right?

Yes......it is very hard to describe. I know my XW is not going to return so it's not about her at all. I think the Dr. has really helped me process her and move on in the last 2 months or so. I met my XW in a bar in Chicago and when we started dating I wasn't thinking of anything else, it was just dating and morphed into something more. Heck I wasn't even sure if I liked her at the time however my feelings grew. When you throw kids in the mix it seems like that makes it a little more difficult these days since me being a father and her being a mom is a big component of who we are as people. I am only getting to see part of her in action and the same for her to me.

I just never expected to be faced with something soo soon. I wasn't prepared.
