Thank you, Marty! Those are wonderful, simple tips.

I am just beginning to date after losing John. While my feelings for John aren't totally dissipated, I realize it'll take time to completely heal. I made such a huge mistake in jumping into my relationship with him after George died, and I realize I went into it for the wrong reasons...I was in so much pain, hurting and lonely, and was extremely vulnerable. This time I am in no hurry to have a "relationship" with anyone, I'm not even sure I want one. I remain open to possibilities but have no real "agenda" other than to make friends, expand my horizon, and have positive enjoyable times. I feel much healthier and happier inside. I wish I would have known these truths before, but perhaps I wouldn't have been ready to listen to them then, perhaps I needed this path to learn, as painful and arduous a journey as it's been.

We appreciate your looking out for us!
