| 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.

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!

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? |
