oh that's great! he sounds nice. I hoped it would be. 'Great to talk to' did not spring to mind with impressions of your exh.
Another thing to look forward to then, not listening to work moans.
It's an odd one, though, isn't it, having children withe someeone with all the passion and hope that involves and then having to adjust to being polite acquaintances. Odd.
At the moment I feel I am off men forever, and just want to do safe things around the children etc. I really do miss having someone to lean on, but I never had that with p in any case - I have toughened up unbelievably, and if I didn't have teh children would be up for any kind of risky enterprises, as long as they didn't involve intimacy

Im off men seriously too although have to admit that miss the physical contact

also a bloke Ive been flirty with for years is suddenly single coS his wife has run off with somone else

I sooooo want to go out with him but dont know how to approach it - I think he sees me as someone going through the same thing

mmm, well you ARE! chat, enjoy the company, who knows. sounds intriguing.
Conversation is such a great part of a relationship.

I know Ninah but what I meant is I dont think he sees me as anything other than just a friend.....

we have been flirty for years when we were both "happily" married

now Im just thinking phoooraarrr

Well let it dawn on him gradually
Why not ask him 'out' something like theatre/dinner? Have a good vibe about this! close proximity, shared history, nice dress, perfume etc ... men can be SO dozy, he probably couldn't believe his luck for more, hence thinking of you as friend ... a few veiled hints in order poss! oh I am quite excited for you. Even feeling 'phwoarr' again is a bloody good sign, tho. I feel like I'm invisible atm, and I just know modicum of sex would make all the difference, sod the skin cream etc, but seem to prefer TV dinners in a kind of self perpetuating monasticism

Just saw what time it is - goodnight - and all the best!
