Is it time?

Over the weekend, several of my girlfriends, without provocation, told me that it was time for me to start dating again.  I thought it was odd that BFF brought it up.  But she and I were scheduling a "date" and she said, 'you should consider doing this with a guy.'   I just let it slide.  But then later, Married with kids and new baby asked me, "did you go on any dates this weekend?  why not?"  After I shrugged, she said, "well that wasn't a no one asked me so why?  I think you should."  And then both Tex and Heartbreak indicated the same thing...you are fine.  Just put yourself out there.

So I thought about it and they are right.  YBBK hurt me, messed with my trust issues but really didn't damage my self esteem like the dirty rotten ex did.  I know I'm pretty, smart, funny and a joy to be around (tee hee hee, did I just write that?!).  So why not?

So yesterday, I emailed back Museum guy.  He replied last night and wants to talk tonight.  I also agreed to meet Southern Gentleman this weekend (day to be determined).   I'm still not sure he is all that interested but he is consistent.  Calling 2-3 times a week and asking to hang out one night a weekend.  I still don't see me "dating" him.  But, he isn't pushing anything and I'm fine with just playing it out.  Of course there is Photoboy, who I am still refusing to see.  He is ever so persistent.  I asked him why he doesn't hang out with girls his own age.  He ignored that text.  LOL!  Actually, I haven't heard from him since Sunday morning...maybe he has finally given up. 

Any way, so I'll open myself up to the dating game and see how it goes.  M&M said he's seen plenty of evidence that the Cold Hearted Bitch is back and I should do just fine with dating around (per Mars and Venus Starting Over).  He said he missed the CHB and can't wait to hear the stories of men failing to woe me over.  Gotta love M&M.  He flatters me every chance he gets.  I couldn't have picked a better "big brother". 

And, No, I haven't forgotten Sunday is the dreaded first Mother's Day without Mom.  I wish I could.  I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through that day.    Sigh.....
