A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I went out on my first date after 6 years after a divorce (married for 13 years- I came home from work and my X had left- found out later that he had an affair with a woman that frequently visited the church...there's no life in that story)... On to happier ones.

The man I went on a date with after 6 years. I met him in January, but he did not ask me out till March.

Ironically, enough, it stormed that day and I could barely see while driving during the storm. I drove around before heading in the direction of my house from church and got a call from him just as I stepped out of my car (God said the storm is over) and he asked me out on a date. This was special for me and I can remember every detail of our evening and all that transpired afterwards.

Although, there have been several men to ask me out, it just didn't seem right, like their intentions were wrong; I could see it-so I didn't go. But I broke that cycle with this man and he is really good to me and treats me nice. He also let me know that he wants to be friends for now and I'm okay with that for now. Because I believe that there is a deeper connection between both him and I.

We don't talk everyday, but when we do, its joyful and sometimes silly depending on our mood.

This was huge for me and one day I will love again. Maybe not right away, but the fact that in spite of a betraying hurt there's room in my life for love and I'm about that.

I guess I don't have a particular questions, but is open to comments regarding the above. Thank you.

You are really fortunate to get love once again. Thank God and do your share of hardships to preserve this relation. Because i guess there is no life without love. You may get everything with money and power but to be loved genuinely is divine.

Don't let this chance go..Just enjoy life at its fullest.

All the Best.

Bye.

quarky agony auntGood to hear your story! I've just been out for a first date after 12 years after a damaging marriage. What will come out of it, I don't know-we're both extremely cautious from past experiences.

We're taking it very slow too.

Thing about love is that it'll hit you when you least expect it. That's why I don't think anyone should give up-if you do, it can slip past oh so easily.

I wish you well-thank you for sharing your experience!
