Okay, so I've talked to a couple people about this but I decided to finally post...
I've started seeing someone. ;D Okay, this is now about 6-weeks into it so it's not totally brand new but new just the same.
I am really happy. The situation is a little interesting as shortly after I was talking to this guy, I met someone who took my breath away and am amazed by. I know however that him and I aren't in the position to take it anywhere. So, I took it for what it was and continued to live my life here...It seems to be paying off quite well! lol Who knows what the future holds? Just the same, I won't pass by living today for what may happen tomorrow.
I had a bit of a hang-up as this guy is 5 1/2 years younger than me. But, I finally got it into my head that I had a hard enough time finding someone my own age who would respect me and my situation as well as be understanding...If I found it in someone younger, why should I let that hold me up? So, here I am. I have caught a lot of grief from people about the age difference but I shrug them off. I am happy and he's amazing to me so who are they to judge.
My kids have met him already. They both like him quite a bit. He's actually taken to them much better than I expected. Right now, it's just fun. I am not sure where it will go but I don't care! I am enjoying each day for what it is.
He lives about an hour from me so we manage to see each other each weekend. It has it's pitfalls but we seem to be making it work quite well at this point. We definatly know how to make the most of the time we get together.
I smile all the time right now. It's kind of scary. I keep looking for a trap door to fall out from under me. I don't know if it's him being younger or what but he really is different than anyone I've ever met and he's amazing to me. He treats me with tremendous respect. He likes me to just be me and even at my craziest, he doesn't care. I guess he's been with people too who have started dating him only to try and change him. But, we talked about the fact that I am so far past that in my life. I want to be for someone what I want someone to be for me. A HUGE part of that is just letting me be myself. We were introduced as friends who saw the potential for a really good fit. It seems to be paying off! I am really, really happy with this right now so I had to finally get it off my chest and share it with all of you!
