Had a dinner date the other night. It was great, real fun. He already knew I was a single mum as we know each other through work contacts and have been comfortably chatting for about a year.
He brought up the topic of my son, asked a few polite questions, I didn't really dwell on it as we were chatting so much about other stuff.
Cut to the end of the night, I thank him for dinner but as I knew he was off on holiday I didn't make any mention about calling etc.
So fast-forward and he makes polite contact [I mean very polite contact] via email. I reply and lightly suggest lunch to say thanks for a lovely evening. I get back some weirdness about me keeping my life in seperate compartments and no further communication, despite the fact that we are normally in touch quite a bit most days.
Now I would just chuck this to one side and move on - EXCEPT that I just got the attendees list for a meeting I'm attending tomorrow and horror - he's on it.
A bit of advice would be very welcomed from those with more experience in single parent dating land. I thought I was doing the right thing by keeping 'me as a date' and 'me as a parent' seperate. Is that not what people would normally do? or do I have to present myself as 'a package'?
And also, how the hell do I get through tomorrow???
