To cut a long story short, I split from from XH 3 years ago. I was always rather submissive in the relationship and have had a few failed attempts at dating :( My good friend passed on the details of a professional companion that she had met on a few occasions. She is a busy professional and simply doesn't have time for a relationship. Well after two weeks of talking myself out of it, I finally contacted him and met him - just a meal and the theatre but it was very liberating to say the least. He was a perfect gent and it's nice to be 'in charge' for once!! :) Just thought I'd share my story - who says us Mums can't have fun!! ;)
