Thanks. It's kinda fun. It's just rare to find someone with common interests these days.

Try to focus on the moment, sounds like you've already had 10 years to have your brain relax, though I wouldn't know. Next time just know it was a good date as there is others to come. Maybe try to have one where you both talk. Sounds like you're in line to make her yours and you hers. Common interests, friends involved. Get to know her a little more in that sense. You got this

Funny thing is. After 10 years you become more aware of your own sense of peace and less inclined to do anything that jeopardizes it. Being in relationships can be really stressful, even at the best of times. At least I'm open to it. Thanks for the support

It sounds like from your latest post there wasn't much of a romantic connection. You said it was mutual. Did she mention it out loud? Or was that just the vibe you got?

Either way, it's good to not put too much pressure on a date succeeding. To me, it's not just about having success, but having future success, i.e. collecting data. What do you like in a potential partner? What don't you like? What hard rules do you have and what exceptions are you willing to make? Even if a date goes nowhere, if you learned something to help you next time then it isn't a total loss.

Also, since you said you haven't dated in a decade, that is probably relevant too. You've likely changed at least a little since then. Your preferences and expectations may have changed as well. It's natural to need time to figure all that stuff out, and the best way to do that is through experience in the field.

It's a best case scenario. We remain friends while avoiding potential drama so that's a win. Our personality profiles didn't match up even if our interests do. I need time to see what's out there again I guess.

It's the flip of a coin these days and most people simply are not interested in throwing their lives on the line simply for a chance at romance... but I am kind of stupid and I am trying to see past all that. Lots of hurt in the past, lots of healing in the future, hopefully. I don't want to give up.
