Hi ladies (and gents!)
I wonder if I could ask your opinion on something...
In May this year my husband left me (yay!) after 10 years of marriage. Since then I've been focusing on getting back to the old me. Once I'd lost 4st I joined a dating site (I have no friends and family where I live and don't work at the mo so no opportunity to meet people) and last week I met a very nice man online. He's asked me on a date this Saturday, just coffee nothing major, and although I'm terrified and seriously want to back out I'm going to go!
My question is this though. After coffee the next date is likely to involve lunch or dinner and therein lies the dilemma. I'm about 3 months from refeed so how do I handle it? Do I a) just fess up and explain the sitcho and hope he understands or b) agree to dinner/lunch and pick a place where i can eat a high protein low carb meal for the sake of just relaxing into a new date? My gut says just tell him then I won't need to panic about eating yet but on the other hand he may not understand, or might even think I'm making an excuse to get out of seeing him or something!
I'm 40 yrs old and haven't been on a date for 13 years. I don't want to mess it up, what would you guys do? X
