Jinkies True, he was a dud, was he? OH well...plenty of fish in the sea and all that...no rush on anything...
As for the banter....well that has pretty much ended...he has been quite busy...and I am busy myself...I am preparing my house for sale and that takes up my free time. Last night I painted a wicker writing table...white to go in my guest room which is decorated cottage chic.
Here's to finding a good man!
I am serving up Old Fashions today....YUMMO!

Karen, I think his story is that he was engaged or something and the woman dumped him....so years later he tried again...and the lady dumped him as well...and married the guy she dumped him for...
So, perhaps he is gun-shy....I dunno. Also, he is my aunt's BIL....and he really loves and respects my aunt...and I think he is sorta old-fashioned or maybe he just believes in acting like a gentleman....WOW! I LIKE THIS GUY!!!
I also think that if turns out that there is no chemistry he does not want that to impact his relationship with my aunt---she is really well-liked by her husband's family.
At any rate...he is a really good guy...a bit quirky and I am sure I will find out why he has never been married...
We shall see.....

Hey True! yes...it has been a very busy 10 days! these days I am on facebook a lot...see a bunch of DBers there!
My house is looking lovely...ready to be put on the market...sad...I am sad about it...seems like all the memories of X are all but forgotten...I hardly have any memories of him being here. What does that mean?
I changed the decor of the rooms and nothing reminds me of him...nothing at all...or at least I don't have feelings of anger or things like that...I miss the dog more, truthfully.
Went on another 'date' with my friend...I cooked for him...he enjoyed it...and i am torn...I don't want to like him too much...it seems like I have no problem finding dates however, i do seem to run into the problem of them being flaky and stuff...dating sucks. I feel almost ambivalent towards the whole thing...or it could be that I am processing a lot and selling my house is taking a lot of my time, energy and emotion...yes, I think that is it.
Hope you are enjoying your summer! It did not get to 100 degrees today surprisingly...it rained and it was cool today...but the reprieve will be short...it will be hotter than hell by Saturday...
I had a physical and my cholesterol is elevated...little wonder with all the Mexican food I have been eating! I must stop at once! LOL!
Tomorrow going to a wine bar with some girlfriends and it should be fun...
Hugs! Vali

I hope you are well. I noticed that you and I have not been on the board for over a month!
In a way it is good that you have no feelings or memories of your XH, although somehow it is sad. I haven't changed a thing in my place and all the memories are still there. In a way it isn't terribly good for me since somehow I cannot really move on. But I don't really want to change anything since I like it the way we decorated it.
I hope your summer was as good as mine and that your dating has come to a lovely R.
I have decided only to update from time to time but keep more or less off the board. I guess you are doing the same thing since you also want to move on. - I don't go on FB at all.
Yes it has been over a month hasn;t it? Partially because I was getting my house ready for sale...it went on the dismal market on Aug-24th. Have not had anyone come by to see it...sigh....
It is sad that I don't really have any memories of XH there...so much has changed...he was, of course, very complimentary on how the house looks...it is all mainly my style....not entirely...as I went with popular bedding, etc...that would be attractive to buyers and stuff...
I am still dating the 'slow mover'...he really is a lovely man and I am actually grateful for he slowness of it all...no pressure...it is fabulous!
Too bad you don't go to facebook...you would find many of us there! I mainly post there...although I really do not post about XH or my current dating----that is too personal for that...and if you really know me, I figure you already know what is going on...
Silluy XH told someone that his gf (the OW) told him that I was writign mean things about him on my facebook...LOL! As if I would waste my time!!!!
Some people just need drama in their lives...
That is what I like about Mr. Slow Mover...he is not about drama at all...LOVE IT!!! He is straight-forward...AND he would go to the Opera with me!!!! YAY! Turns out he LOVES Arias!
Let's hope we continue to date and get to go to the Opera together!
Hope your summer was mpre restful than mine!
HUGS! Valentine

I hope that you had some interested people for your house by now.
It is good to hear that you like the way your Slow Mover moves and that he has at least one interest in common with you – opera!
My summer was fantastic and restful, and I went swimming a lot with my GF. On the "dating front" a few things happened but nothing worth mentioning. You can read about it on my thread.
I do hope for you that you are still dating the Slow Mover and that he took you to the opera at least once. Here the theatre season started again and I already saw my first opera.
