Thoughts in the Woods
I've been thinking about dating again.
Lots of confusing and contradictory thoughts rise to the surface. I take a step forward and panic. Not sure if I'm scared because I'm not ready or because I'm just a bit neurotic. How can I possibly juggle someone else in the mix of what is called my life? Can I hurt someone in the dating game? I know there are a lot of needy people out there, and I don't want needy. Will I be hurt in the dating game? Or will my self protective wall keep me from really finding someone?
I had my girlfriends over and they set me up on an e-dating site. A bit of wine and lots of laughs meant that I had to change all of my info the next morning. A couple of responses that might get answered. A lot of responses from people who live over 300 miles away or 15+ years older than I. I don't get it.
Feelers out to my kids (who won't know who I'm dating until I am sure this is a safe and long-term relationship) has my son ready to punch out anyone who looks at me and my daughter all excited and totally ok with it all. But I know my kids and I know in the end it will be the total opposite. My son will realize the guy is kinda cool and funny and my daughter will be resentful for somebody else taking me away from her.
