thanks, fellas
Allow me to bare a little bit of my soul here.
I assure it is not a fishing trip. I'm a single dad who, while working a couple of jobs, has my kids the majority of the time. They are my priority, as I'm sure her kids are her priority, and should be. This will be a painstakingly slow process, but I am cautiously optimistic.
My ex is and has been a bit of a mess over the last several years (since our divorce). She has not always been a shining positive influence for our kids, during that time, and I resent her for that more than anything she has ever done to me.
As lame as it sounds (I can't believe I am about to type this), sex is honestly not a priority any more. Don't get it twisted, if it happens, awesome, and I would welcome it with open pants. But it's just not the main thing I'm looking for any more. There's plenty of free pr0n on the internet. Where I'm at in life now is that I am really looking for someone who I could possibly have a relationship with, and someone who would be that positive female role model for my kids. Is this woman the one? No clue yet, but it's possible. I like what I know about her so far. I haven't posted, and likely won't post, 100% of everything that I know, just because I think it'd probably be boring to most/all of you sharks anyway, but it is stuff that is helping me get a better idea of who this woman is as a person.
I appreciate the well-wishes, the shtick, and anyone following along with this little saga. I hold out hope that it has a happy ending and not a crash and burn.
