I think that if you are interested I would do it.<P>I do not know when I will be ready to date. My H emailed his lawyer and told him he needed more time. So we are postponeing our trial date for awhile.....so there is hope for me. But I still feel like this is the right place for me.<P>But I would go for it. She probably wants the companionship too.<P>There is a time, that our children will need to understand that we need some US time. Right now, my 18 year old daughter is feeling very insecure. So if I was to date, it would not go over very well.<P>But I won't stay at home alone either.<P>Have you guys looked into Parents without partners? I got a brouchure today in the mail. It seems they are real busy and have alot of things to go and do.<P>Talk to you later......

I think its fine. How else are you going to meet people except through the usual community and work events? Especially if your d and hers are just casual friends (if they were best friends it might be a problem). <P>But -- I wouldn't ask your d her opinion any more. It puts her in an awkward situation. At the same time, I'd let her know, because you don't want her to hear it from a friend. Just let her know without expecting a reply/response from her.

I think you should ask her out. Your daughter probably doesn't want mom or dad going out with anyone else, but I think she will grow to accept that. If you ask her out let us know how it goes.<P>

Tulip,<P>I called her tonite for tomorrow, and she said she already had plans. I said maybe another time and she said sure. So????<P>I knew it was iffy, because it was such sort notice, i found out late last nite x is planning to take the kids, but still haven't found out what time.<P>Oh, well, I still have 1 other woman I can call, although she told me last week that she had her kids for the next 3 weeks, so maybe I can sweet talk her into getting a babysitter.<P> I probably shouldn't have asked my d. Just told her and see what she says. Thats a bad habit of mine, trying to please everybody else at my expense, especially the kids.<P><BR>Bob
