Hi All,<BR>Funny how life changes from one day to the next isn't it. Last week I was feeling so blue and alone. This week I'm flying high. Last week I met someone at the store where I work. We started talking ect and I gave him my e-mail. Anyway e-mailing has gone to talking hours on the phone together to going out a few times. I have that excited feeling, you know that feeling we all got when we were young and were going out with a new guy/girl. The emotions I feel right now are really strong. I haven't felt this way since I was 18 years old and it makes me feel so young again. I was laying in bed last night and things my Ex had told me make so much more sense to me now. I know it wasn't that he didn't love me but got swept up in the excitement of her. I wonder to myself if I had met **** when I was still married would I have still felt the same way about him. <P>You know I'm trying to take it slow but I find myself thinking about **** all day. I can't wait until he calls at night ect. I'm not stupid, I know that its just infatuation right now but hell, it feels great. If this relationship doesn't work then at least Ill come out of it having a better understanding about how fast a logical thinking adult can get swept up in a relationship. <P>Jill<P>ps. The last guy I told you about just wasn't right for me. So I broke it off before feelings could get hurt.

I suggest reading "Boundaries in Dating" It is an excellent book and help to see warning signs we tend to overlook when we are feeling "goofy". Take it slow and be smart. Good luck!

I'm so happy for you, I'm just putting along and I'm O.K. with that. I know that rollercoaster feeling all too well. You deserve so much and if you are patient love will come when you least expect it. Remember what I said about having fun and not worrying about all the details. Just have some good ole laughs and take your time......glad things are going better for you.

Hey Jilly<P>I am so happy you met someone. It is such a great feeling to be with someone who is interested again hey. I so long for that. The guy I met isn't contacting me so I have given up hope of that. I just think a lot of guys are really put off if they hear a woman is divorced. That's a funny thing isn't it. Because one 'never been married' woman could have had way more sexual encounters with various men than a divorced woman. So I was thinking what do I tell the next man I meet. Oh I'm single. Not divorced. Oh I don't know what anything really means anymore. Why not pretend that I'm not divorced seeing to it that I don't want to commit right now? I know its risky. What was this man's reaction to you being divorced?<P>Pantha

Well the happiness was short lived but it was fun while it lasted. Maybe I'm just being to choosey I don't know. For one thing he told me he is still living with the ex-wife. That was a big STOP sign there. This may sound stupid but he came to where I work wearing this almost scarey looking outfit. It was such a big turn off. Oh well I guess I'll just wait awhile again before I try to date again. <BR>Thanks for all of your support!!!!!<P>I'm doing great,<P>JIll<P>------------------<BR>live for today for there may not be a tomorrow
