Date Night and Date Bail
So I went on a 2nd date with a lovely woman. It had been about 3 weeks since our first date and I think that was a good thing. It gave me perspective. We had both been busy and she has two children so she doesn't have a ton of free time. I understand that and respect it. Now then, she asked me a very important question, have I dated a woman with kids before. Well of course I have "dated" women with kids, but I have never had a serious relationship with somebody who has kids. It does bring up a lot of interesting questions. I'm not sure how that would work, or if it would be what I want. That being said, it seems silly to exclude an entire population of people just because they have children. My goal of the date was to have some fun, be authentic and try to stay present. I really struggle with being present. I'm so good at faking that I'm there and going with the motions. I've lived my whole life that way. Ugh. Anyhow we had a lovely evening,
