Ok. I divorced last year after 20 years of marriage. Took a bit of time to regroup but for the last month or so have been seeing someone and I think next weekend might end up being the first time we sleep together.

I’m really nervous! It’s been a while and my body isn’t what it was twenty years ago. For all I know sex might have completely changed too 😂

How do you get over the nerves and weirdness? So far I’ve basically come up with a “winning” strategy of no carbs this week, some gradual tanner this week and then wine on the night 😂 I know I should just be all “I’m a queen and he should be grateful for the opportunity” but I am MIDDLE AGED AND ENGLISH.

Any other tactics, either for looking good or feeling good?? Hellllllp….

@janesmithsdog oh gosh. Not only is he a player, but he's not bright enough to cover his tracks! Disapointing, but better found out now than later. Chuck this one back, plenty more in the sea. FWIW when I was OD, I found plenty of candidates de-selected themselves with similar idiocy, saved me having to interview, so all good.

Shitscared123 it was SPOT ON. He gave me his card and I messaged him the next night to thank him for a wonderful time, and he called me precious and beautiful. That's how he behaved in bed with me.
