Wish me luck.

Ok, well. I know I don't really know any of you very well. But I need some luck.

I haven't dated since my husband was killed in 04. It just never felt right, and still really dosn't. But I am going to give it a go anyway.

My little sister has been bugging me to meet this friend of her's ever since she moved in with me a few months ago. So, I called her this morning when I woke up and told her to set it up.

Well, wish me luck.

Mam, I wish you all the luck to be had. Being and living alone is not a good way. I hope you find true happiness with someone who cares as much for you as you do him.

Will pray for you

This is a big step. Please avoid the mistake I have seen so many people do during my lifetime - don't go into a blind panic to be Mrs. Someone hooking up with the wrong person.

Take a lot of time. Remember each of you will have a great amount of life experiences plus expectations in a new relationship.

It is better to remain single than to wear a wedding ring of misery.

However, every coin has two sides and this could be a real win-win situaiton so I do wish you the best.

Just stay objective and take a lot of time before letting go of your emotions.

Best of luck to you, Amanda. Believe me when i say this....it's much easier to know what you DON'T want in a significant other, rather than looking for the things you DO want. I know it sounds kinda off-the-wall, but the good stuff will all fall into place that way....you'll see.

Thank you Amanda. I did not intend the Mam to be offensive. My sincere apology.

Well,
Like Waylon said, coffee all alone is a bitter brew. I always told my wife to live her life and be happy in the event anything ever happened.

Good luck to ya, it's a hard step to take, but once taken I'm sure you will come to find a piece of yourself you forgot was there. I hope it goes well for you, and make sure you mention you're a shooter, if he's a pri@k it'll scare him and if he's cool (ie. likes guns) it'll be a great conversation and possible second date!

Oh dear,no apology is needed. I didn't find it offensive. I was merely trying to say that we are all friends here. Sometimes intent in a post is hard to convey on the internet. Im sorry.

Thank you all for your support. It means a lot to me.

I really don't know too much about the guy. She is keeping our details from each other. All I know is his name and profession, attorney. And that is all he knows about me.


We will see what happens.

Once again thank you. Friday is the day. Apparently my sister told him that I like shooting, so after dinner he wants to take me to the range to teach me how to shoot really well.



So, how bad should I lead him on before I actually start trying to shoot well?

don't lead him on, if he's a good marksman maybe you'll learn something from him, if not then you teach him a thing or two. dazzle him with your brains and beauty.
and your aim.

Very good point guys, and even if he isn't very good I am sure I will learn something. Everyone can learn something from everyone else if they allow it. Even if that person doesn't know what they are doing.

This might just be fun.
