First date, post-divorce.

Let's just say I am child of the 70s.

 

Sweet merciful crap! That is awesome. Having been divorced for four years now, I gottta say that the first date post divorce was not good. Friend of a friend gave me her number one night in a bar. We texted and emailed and I basically let it flag. I was not in a good place. A few months later — when I was still just legally separated — I saw her at a Christmas party and we got to talking. Said we should finally go on that date. We did. I thought it went great. Went to a buddy’s house who is single that night to watch a Monday night football game and he goes, oh, this is crazy. That girl H—- from the Christmas party? We are going out tomorrow night. Talk about awkward. I told him I had just gone on a date with her. He laughed and said, May the best man win. He ended up dating her for a year and a half. We don’t even talk anymore, though that was just one of several reasons. I still see H—- occasionally and we laugh about it. Life goes on.

 

Lot of us old guys are wondering ... if it came down to it, and I had to prioritize ... would I do the pubes, the eyebrows or the earlobes?

 

Don’t forget the nose

 

Shit, I gotta have something to twirl when the conversation lags!

 

I think this thread is all fake. Fake news.

We need proof of life. Pic or something.

Or, as YF would say: Link?

 

Lot of us old guys are wondering ... if we could do it that many times in one night.

 

One of the biggest wakeup calls of newfound singlehood is how much routine maintenance you let slide while married.

 

This is very true.

 

The thrill of the new gives a man superhuman powers -- for a while.

 

Very happy for you ex, especially the successful consummation of the joining.

I'm very glad to be happily married and avoiding any dating but sounds like you've got a good plan working. As someone in my mid 50s though I understand how being more self-assured later in life could reap benefits.

 

My theory: freqposter figured out who ex is in real life, and sent him a present.
