Moving On

So...... I'm trying to get back into the dating scene, which is proving even more complicated than I had anticipated. I was never one to be single, not for long anyways... but I know I still need time to heal from this past relationship. Anywho, I'm finding that I'm turning 99.9% of men away that try to take me out... now, that could be because more than a handful of those guys have been my friends for years, so it's just weird... I guess they're all stuck in the "friend zone"... and the rest of the guys just seem like they would be a waste of my time. Maybe I need to be more open.. I did go on a date the other night, I guess it was my first "real date" since I've been single. It went pretty well! =) ..though it was easier since he brought his kid to lighten the mood. His son was awesome and kept me laughing the whole time. So, I guess I'm looking for advice.. I've never really "dated" before. I usually have met a boy, and we both just knew it was right, and jumped into commitment.. now I'm afraid to do that. Ah well, other than that everything is going good! I've been getting out of the house with friends, and I'm losing weight! =) YAY!
