And I don't mean my exdh. I have had a very brief fling with a man who asked me out over a year ago but it has taken me a long time to be ready to give up on my marriage and move on. We had a few dates and had a good time. If I am honest, my first impressions were that he is lovely but personality wise I am a bit hyper and neurotic and he is laid back so it didn't seem like love match of the cntury. Anyway he has been really kind and attentive ( things which I have really missed in the last 2 years) and I was looking forward to having some fun. Anyway he has now met someone he has 'clicked' with and wants us just to stay friends. Am sure this is a wise move in the long term but am gutted as I did want some fun! Am finding it really hard to let go, esp as he is still being fairly encouraging. I know most of it is all in my head, there was very little between us to build on, just my happy ever after fantasies. I guess what I (in a long winded way) am asking is should I take a deep breath and try internet dating to meet new people? This isn't how I wanted my first few dates in a long time to end! Could really do with a confidence boost and am really quite scared about internet dating and being hurt again. am not sure I am strong enough for that. On the other hand would love someone to go to dinner with occasionally and god forbid maybe rekindle my long neglected sex life! How do I get started and is it a good idea?
