You are such a sweetie. I love talking with a man "on the sly," about the male POV. I'm sure others are enjoying/benefitting from your advice and suggestions, as well.
I don't have "access" to other men at work/school/home, although I've caught my professor's eye (what a cutie, and how charming, from Duesseldorf, and soooo interesting, but married). We do have an alternative "Village Voice" kind of newspaper where I live, though, and I'll peruse the personals there and -- heck -- maybe I'll even write one.
Dennis is a major sweetie, but not my "type." Whatever that means. You know, I'm an old hippie, I like rock-and-roll (although I'm hardly up-to-date with Cold Play, David Gray, Beck, and a lot of the news artists my son has introduced me to). I'd rather go to the Chicago Blues Fest than fly to New Orleans to listen to Dixie (which D suggested). I don't golf. I don't, as you know, own any "after five" clothes, and I don't care for men wearing cologne ... or jewelery. Heavens, I sound like such an elitist or a snob.
I also wasn't comfortable talking about sex, including D's claim that he didn't need Viagra, and detailed information about some of the things he said he wanted to do to me.
Yikes!
On a plus note, he was gentlemanly. He walked me to the campus library (I didn't want him to come to know/recognize my car), he stopped when I asked him too, he told me repeatedly how beautiful I was, he has an alternative (and somewhat interesting "take" on things (I'm more New Age spiritual -- I'm a priest in one of the Gnostic Orders (!), he's more pragmatic -- a former Major in the Air National Guard, for Heaven's sake), he's got money, he sounds generous (yes, generous in bed, too), he's -- from what I can tell -- fairly level-headed.
Oh. I have a tummy ache this morning from FIVE glasses of wine. That's not good.
If nothing else, going out with D signaled one of the first important ... necessary ... steps in letting go of and moving away from Paul ....Other than that, I don't know what to say.
I appreciate, value and love all the support I've received here. If this is "legal," and anyone wants to talk more extensively/privately, feel free to write me via: temenos512@yahoo.com
Best,
Temmie
