Nasty indeed! I have managed to control it with herbal medicine, but i keep having the odd day or two of feeling unwell again.

So Dave the 3rd is definitely still a contender
We met the other evening, I was taking Murphy out to his happy place, very close to D3's house. So he walked down and joined me.
Spent a nice hour chatting about all sorts, he took my hand and it was lovely.
Had a couple of single kisses goodnight but I was rendered unusually shy. Which I think means I like him.....
Meeting tomorrow for an actual date with food and wine.....
That stock is rising from an 8.
But on this thread pride comes before a fall so won't tempt fate.

Fantastic. Good luck for the next date!
I’ve been chatting on POF, even though my profile is hidden someone I’d favourited ages ago (as a way of saving his profile for later) sent me a message. He’s a parkrunner, cyclist, and surfer and is from New Zealand. Might have a date at the weekend.

D3 is sounding more and more promising. We have been caught out before but you have every reason to be optimistic.

Cautiously optimistic for you Maz 
I am picking up my stuff from L tomorrow morning, then I can banish him into the undercroft of my memories... I realised another creepy thing about him this morning, after someone asked for legal advise regarding her ex partner who refused to change his address for his driving licence, HMRC etc from hers after she turfed him out... L tried registering his car and car insurance and driving licence at my address, excuse for this was it was much cheaper so he could help me out financlially he had no reasons for why he wanted to put his professional memberships onto my address as well... Piared with the leaving more and more stuff and the rather unsubtle hints about his 'expensive' flat (not expensive at all) and how he could help me more if he didn't have to pay such a high rent, I think he was definitely up to something, realised he failed, and swiftly moved himself out He moved in with his ex girlfriend 3 weeks after they met and started/tried moving in with me a week after we met, which was 6 weeks after splitting up with his ex

Keeping fingers crossed Maz.
Hanneke that sounds as if you have actually had a lucky escape.
Meg that's sounding interesting.
I am so conflicted about what I want to do. Would be happy chatting to folks but even though the people I was speaking to sounded fine I felt like they were trying to steer me to meeting. Not sure I can even deal with that yet.
Ex has mentioned getting the divorce sorted. Am fine with that but feel under mo pressure to get it done. Have told him to find out about it. We are meeting tomorrow night so will discuss then I guess.

I'm the opposite Corrah, i can't be arsed with a penpal scenario. I am always keen to meet after limited chat, or just not bother ....
if you want virtual chat, why limit yourself to people in your own location with dating sites and local parameters...
You might as well talk to people all over the world online, or write to a lifer in prison!

I will get there Maz. I guess I am not actually sure what I want. Might feel different in time.

That sounds like you’re not ready Corrah. Meeting someone is the only way to know if you’re potentially compatible, and it’s pretty easy to decide once you’ve met someone. It’s mainly why I haven’t really committed to the dating site process at the moment.
How about doing something social, to meet people in general? I’ve been doing yoga and spin classes, and have considered gyms, salsa lessons etc. I try and stay active in the running club, not that there are any dating prospects there but just to keep a social life.
Divorce is definitely easier if you are still on good terms with your ex, as you sound to be. But there will still be contentious issues. Most lawyers will do a free initial conversation which I found helpful to understand my position and entitlement. I actually met with mine yesterday, it’s been about 4 years since we started the process, and whilst we are divorced there’s are still some financial issues. She told me she thought the way we’d approached it was probably a good thing (collaboratively, avoiding court), as whilst court would have resolved it we would probably have had to sell everything and it would have been horrid. She also said I’ve been very tolerant of ex!

Thank Meglet. We can do quicky divorce as separation agreement was already in place. Just need to fill in the paperwork and sign then pay the fee. There is still a joint financial commitment but we are working on clearing that as soon as possible.
