I posted about this on Feb 22... it has now been 25 days since our first date, and I think we've now had 7 dates. Or 7 get-togethers, date might not be the right word.
There are not many -ism issues coming up. Other than my self-deprecating humor, which to me is as much a part of recovery as it is the disease. Gotta be able to laugh at yourself. I sometimes make some Rodney Dangerfield kinda jokes at myself. She disagrees with them... she is entitled to her opinion
She's also the first prospect... ever... to have met some of my family. Never got that far with anybody else. I'm getting a lot of thumbs up. Not that I require it, but I do value the input from my close family -- most of which is in program also.
My new girlfriend is also motivating me to get busy on some long dormant projects, I won't go into detail for the sake of anonymity, but she has really helped out a lot in both logistics and motivation there. There are some things that take on a new life when more than one person gets involved, and at the rate things are going we are going to have a busy summer.
She also has offered an interesting explanation for why I have gotten nowhere in relationships all these years: because I hadn't met her yet! That's a pretty good reason, and it makes any others unimportant...
Well you go hot stuff Good for you! I hope it keeps going good. FYI, rent some comedian dvd's from the rental section at Block busters for some new material..hehehehe xoxox
Both of us have many, many brand new unwatched DVDs and videos... I think partly because it's no fun to watch them alone. So we have lots of material without having to spend a dime
