Random thoughts....PART 2

Same disclaimer as for part 1...

I put my profile on the LDS singles site in about April. By the middle of May, I had had some nibbles but no serious bites...
Then within the course of one week, I was contacted by two men-both from areas around Atlanta...Thus began my summer into dating again.
Now, every time I have ventured out into the dating world, I have broken some kind of ground or done something that has not yet been done in the family... Well, the unwanted tradition continues...
Alan and I had our first date on the day after Memorial Day. I will say that we had a wonderful time. The best part of the day, besides the fact I actually was on a date, was the fact that this particular date helped to push out unpleasant and heartbreaking memories of a year ago on the day after Memorial Day. Instead of obsessing that it was the anniversary of the day I thought my life had ended. I had a wonderful time and many pleasant memories of that date with Alan. He visited Tifton a couple of times before he moved. He is now in Houston, Texas about to begin his new job there. We have developed a very unique friendship that is built on honesty and the knowledge that we were not "marriage" material for each other, but instead friends who are in the same thought process about their futures.. We talk frequently.
