I'm so happy you're having a good time! Can you tell us about him a little bit, even if it's just fun and nothing serious at this point? How's the sex?

LOL! I'm sorry you guys!!! I wasn't on at all yesterday!
Dating is ok. I still need to come up with a good nickname for him... I'll probably just call him no nickname for now...
I met him on okc. He's a little bit older, 41 to my 35, athletic, has 2 boys (16 & 18).... we've decided to see each other exclusively, but we're keeping everything casual. Honestly, I enjoy his company, the sex is amazing, but I'm not sure I see us as a long term couple. I don't know if that's just me being scared our if it's my gut. But I'm proceeding with caution.

He is nice.
Mostly the long term thing is scheduling. I'm concerned that my lack of availability is not really conducive to a long term relationship. We saw each other last night for the first time in a week... I know that he wants more of a relationship, and I'm not sure I'm ready to offer that. My focus for the last few months has been DS and myself (in that order) and that's it. I'm just not sure I have a lot of room for another person in that equation.
We've had a very frank and open discussion about that, and he seems to be ok with it. But I don't know.
I also haven't shared a lot of my past with stbx with him, and I'm still dealing with a lot of the mental issues that have resulted from our disfunctional relationship. That's a lot of emotional junk to just dump on a new guy...
He asked me last night if I missed him and I didn't really know what to say. Truthfully, I'm not used to having someone in my life and I was just fine not seeing him for a week. It really didn't bother me... I know that's not the response he wanted to hear, but that's how I feel. I enjoy my time with him, but I don't feel like there's something missing when I'm not around him...

That is 110% perfectly OKAY. Don't force yourself to feel or be anything you don't/are not.

I'm not. I could just tell he was a little bit disappointed when I hesitated before answering. He wasn't super excited about the answer, but he said he understands and respects it.
He texts me every morning at about 7:30 to say good morning... I know its a very nice, super sweet gesture, but part of me feels like he's trying too hard to convince me he's a good guy... Like I said, it very well could be my paranoia, or it could be that he really is a nice guy. I haven't really decided yet.
