Hi all,
I’m M41, divorced from my husband and have been happily single for over a year now. I’ve dipped my toe into the dating game, and I’m finding it quite overwhelming.
Most recently, I got chatting to a nice guy. I was surprised that we had things in common, and I showed more interest, from an intellectual perspective. The conversation was rich and interesting.
Now, the conversation seems to have devolved into constant compliments, saying “wish I could hug you”, “wish I could kiss you”. I’m just thinking – where is the guy that I started chatting with? It’s been less than a week, and conversation seems to have dried up.
In the back of my mind, I’m wondering whether I’m being too harsh. I was married to somebody with narcissistic personality traits and I need to be careful I don’t start worrying that everybody out there is the same!
It’s weird. I feel like I’m in the best position I’ve ever been in, in terms of dating. I don’t feel desperate, and I feel like I can let my head rule my heart. At the same time, I feel I may have become super picky and impossible to please.
I guess it would be interesting to hear from others who are finding their feet again following a divorce.
