When to start dating again?

I hope you snogged his face off ;-) (only kidding).

Sounds like one in a million. x

I've been lurking around this thread and not posting, mostly because everyone else has been more eloquent that I would have been. I wanted to ask though: did you tell him how serious your ex's abuse was? Many people have no idea how deeply the emotional scars of abuse can run, and unless it's explained to them they just don't get it.

The other thing is, I'm glad he's still interested.

The last thing is, it amuses me that he managed to make you think he was just looking for his training partner back. When my husband proposed to me, I was convinced he was breaking up with me until he finished his speech and actually asked - I think it's a weird man thing

After this .... he most definately has his shine back as far as i'm concerned!
It is NOW a serious fairytale!!!!
Oh and Lunar Eclipse I stand corrected!
"Oh!
But no!
I really don't think sex was on his agenda that night. Seriously. Otherwise he's a bloody idiot! His actions up until this point are far from idiotic, so I'm still in favour.
Having said that, I have been known to be wrong in the past.
And right.
But far more often right than wrong, especially where men are concerned! :rotfl:"

Novastar, you used to be decisive, but now you are not so sure? :rotfl::rotfl:

I'm going to be bold here and say something that I know a lot of people are going to disagree with:

He sounds great, but Taye, you are going to have to chill out and loosen up sooner or later. He isn't a saint, his patience can only go so far...

Sorry but I think someone needs to tell it how it is!

NOVASTAR

Thats brilliant Taye - you have also :Tinspired fav77!!

He did admit Sex HAD really been on his mind that night..... but he also said he was sorry, he just got caught up in things.

I am glad he did and to be honest so should you - would you of preferred it if he didn't want to have sex with you?
The guy finds you attractive be happy that he does - put the past where it belongs and live for now, life is too short to be miserable and lonely.
There will come a time when your boys will be older and doing their own thing and you need a life as well - now is the first step to that new beginning - even if this one doesn't work out you have at least moved on and proved you are attractive to men.
Give him a kiss he is worth that - no more until you are ready though.

Whilst I agree with this to an extent, PLEASE don't feel pressured into doing anything you are not comfortable with. Just step outside your comfort zone a bit and enjoy yourself
