How do people get over this? Any personal experiences/tips to share?
Brief summary of my situation: I've been going through a divorce for two years and it's finally almost over. I've always felt a bit awkward about men and dating, but I'm starting to feel lonely and like I would welcome male company.
My current specific issue is that I've developed a crush on a man whom I work with (different areas of our business, but we interact sometimes). Today he asked me to let him know the next time I'm grabbing drinks with a mutual acquaintance! I think he's a couple of years younger than me. I look young for my age (40) so he probably thinks I am his age. He also probably doesn't know I have a kid.
I know I'm putting the cart before the horse given this is a mere suggestion of a drink, and I also realise that I am getting all excited about something silly and small, but excited I am...
