Talk About Marriage - View Single Post - My experience on the date scene so far...what is yours?

I'm enjoying it so far. But to be honest I have talked to some (more than 10) woman but only had what I would call one date.

I moved out in Feb and divorced in April and I have dated one lady now for about eight weeks. I was married for 19 years which covered all my college years and raising two girls who are now 13 & 15.

I'm having a positive experience and I enjoy talking with her and sharing past life experiences and thoughts. I was very open with her about 30 minutes into our first phone call to let her know who/what she was dealing with. That seemed to deflate/eliminate a lot of my nerves and she didn't run from it.

I want to only date one person at a time which i'm sure makes me behind the times or old school. I hear horrer stories of newly divorced people starting to date multiple people at the same time and some learn to regret moving at light speed right out of the gate. No thanks I'll take the slow lane on this one.
