    You're fooling yourself if you think you're ready to date soon after you left your marriage. Even if you checked out of your marriage long before, you're not emotionally ready to date. It doesn't matter if you're the leaver or leavee, it's a big life change and the best opportunity to focus on yourself.

    To go along with that, I don't understand why anyone would want to jump into a relationship, casual or serious, so soon. It is OK in 2012 for people to be single. No, you don't have to be in a relationship or be married to be a worthy person. I am pretty sure this is a cultural thing though. 

    Who is this directed to?

    No one in particular and everyone dating too soon.

    Maybe I am feeling defensive right now but I have been divorced for 4 years. Don't think this is too soon. Or maybe this wasn't directed at me.

    It was probably me, since it's been less than a year since we split up. And thanks to Norwegian divorce law, it will be 8 months more separation becore we're even elligible for a divorce. I don't think there's anything wrong with casual dating (especially since I really like sex, and one of the best parts of splitting up was the prospect of getting to have sex again!!!) but as per my own confession, I think it's too soon to date seriously. It just kind of happened, and it scares the hell out of me.

  • OMG dmarie, 4 years is NOT too soon! lol. For me too soon is like 2 months after you physically leave your marriage.

  • I missed these all day so I'm chiming in late.  

    I suggested going to lunch at Cheesecake Factory with my mom today, knowing that she would take me shopping.  I got some cute stuff and some quasi-cowboy boots--yeehaw!

  • I know I missed the FFFC party and my confession is late, but I totally have one to share.

    I got laid on Wednesday. Twice. And it was mind-blowing. I was so exhausted afterward that I slept for 13 hours the next day. 

    This guy is going to be an awesome fwb.

  • I found out today that I'm getting a new supervisor. Turns out it's a girl I used to be friends with (for 7 years) who thrives on chaos and drama. Thing is, as much as I am dreading her being my supervisor because she thinks she is better than pretty much everyone, I am secretly a little excited because I know exactly how to push her buttons and can use that to my advantage, if I need to!

    Don't worry, I didn't take it personally. I still can't believe you thought dating after 4 years was too soon lol. For a lot of people in general, it would be an eternity lol.

    Really?! My vibrator can only do so much. And it doesn't take very long, so it's just kind of there when I just need to get off, which I do several times per week. But honestly my O's are much more enjoyable with oral.  

     ETA: Also, if the sex is really good, I don't even need an O to be satisfied. A man can just do things that a vibe can't.

    I just don't understand having sex with someone without having a relationship as well. Vibrator scratches the itch. I mean, if you are hungry, your stomach will take ramen or a nice steak. Both will fill it up but I'm personally not going to eat my steak standing over the kitchen sink. Different strokes for different folks. 

    ETA: I'm not saying that I don't like or miss sex. I just rather have a relationship connected to the penis.

    Well, you posted right after I mentioned that BF and I were talking about marriage. I wasn't sure if it was in response to that. Glad we are all good Yes

    You are right, different strokes. I'm just not in any place right now to be in a relationship; I plan to be single for a long time. I have the physical need for sex, but not the emotional need for a relationship. I have a high sex drive and I really don't see any reason to go without, so I'd rather have one guy on the regular than to try to be celibate and maybe having random sex with random guys.

    Ha! I only had 1 successful FWB. It was a guy that I dated for 2 weeks. It was very clear that we weren't meant for dating. However, there was insane sexual chemistry. Voila, instant FWB.

    Did you meet him on OkCupid/Match/whatever ? Now that I think about it I am pretty sure there are websites for FWB.

    No, he was the brother of a co-worker. He came out for a happy hour one night and asked me out. After a few dates it was very clear that we weren't boyfriend/girlfriend material but we could tolerate each other and had crazy sexual chemistry
