Nada, no dating at all. I was out with a friend during a business trip in Boston and got hit on by a few guys with southie accents, but that definitely doesn't count. Lol.
I don't go here really, but I had a great 3rd date with a guy I met on Tinder a couple weeks ago. So far so good. He's a swim coach & Crossfit coach, and really hot.

There is NOTHING going on. I haven't been in a date in a very very long time. I actually think that it's been something like a year and a half or more.
I've been dating my guy for 2.5 years. About 6 months ago we finally told my kids, and he met my family last month at my brother's wedding. So I guess we're progressing at our own slow rate.

Still the same here! Getting married October 21 next year and really enjoying wedding planning. Can't wait for him to come home. I miss things like making dinner together, or walking to work together, or having someone to go to a patio with for a beer whenever I want. I miss cuddling on the couch while we watch tv. 5 months to go!
Relationship. J and I are doing well. We're able to do a lot more on the weekends and it's fun!! He's job hunting since we relocated and I think he's getting bored and frustrated during the week, but it will all work out.
No dating or much of anything going on with me. I haven't been on a date since 6YG, which was 2 years ago. I'm just trying to get through this next, and hopefully last, surgery so I can get healthy mentally and physically.
I would like to reactivate my online profiles and do some casual dating. Maybe next summer!
I will admit that it's actually nice being comfortable with being single and being able to support myself.
Things are still going good with the BF. Very often, we don't see each other during the week, but that makes the weekends so much nicer. I haven't heard from the court about the divorce, but that should go ok and I should be divorced in August.
I will now focus on the sale of the house and losing the 8 kilos I gained last year.
If only the rain could stop and the summer could start for real...
In the meantime crossing all my fingers that Brexit doesn't happen next week. That would be tragic for Europe!
What mp said! I have been single for almost six years but my life compared to when I was married has definitely started over. Not dating right now. The guy I was super excited about is having a lot of medical issues and not in a place to date. I'm glad he was honest and I wouldn't be surprised if we date again. In the meantime I feel like something really great has clicked in me! I'm so much calmer, able to socialize with minimal anxiety and people are actually approaching me! My bestie said I'm like a different person and that he's so proud of the work I've done on myself. So I'm feeling pretty awesome about me these days!
Oh yes! I meant those who are no longer in the "thick of it" so to speak. And let that mean either finding an SO, getting married, or finding your slice of happy however you please!

I think I posted, but I ended things with the guy I was casually seeing in May. I have a lunch date tomorrow. I'm not super stoked, but think it will be nice and it gives me something to do. If nothing else, I'll chalk it up to practice
Eta. And I forgot, I've been talking to an old friend more lately. I've known him since we were teenagers. Today's two hour conversation sort of indicated to me that a date may be requested soon, if our talking keeps up. I'm open to it. He's a good man. So we'll see.
Relationship here. Just met the BF's mom for the first time yesterday. It went amazingly well, she really liked me (and I think she's fantastic too), and she invited me to spend a weekend at their house, lol. She already texted BF today to tell him how much she liked me. I am head over heels, and haven't been this happy in years. He's wonderful.
BF and I are living together. It's a very happy and relaxed relationship. Life is a good mix of doing things together while maintaining our own interests too. I hang out with his friends and vice versa. I like his family. He's met mine as well including some that live further away. I'm happy with things as they are, kind of KOKO.
Right now, I'm enjoying the summer. I've been swimming a lot. I have had a few minor health issues but nothing too serious. I've done some traveling both with my boyfriend and also with friends. For example, I went on a cruise in May with an old friend from college to catch up. BF and I went to NYC and will probably go back because he has relatives up there and I have another old friend who recently moved up there and who has invited me up.
I'm seeing my parents and childhood through new eyes as I get older. That's probably a big recent thing that has happened. My mom has had some mental health issues that have come to light in her retirement, so that has been a source of stress for me but also a situation where I have redefined the relationship. I care about her and I am supportive but I also don't let her issues become mine. My father is a bit of a different situation. I am also redefining that relationship in a way that works better for me.
I always view life as a work in progress but I am also enjoying as much as I can.
I'm dating around here and there. Had a date on Friday that went very well, but I don't think he's interested in a g/f. We'll see. Have a few other dates lined up. Just having fun with it so far.
I've been dating the same guy since December. I like him a lot and I'm fairly certain the feelings are mutual. We talk every day by text and see each other twice a week. We had a lovely long weekend together over Memorial Day weekend which was a nice precursor to our European trip coming up this week. He plans two long international trips a year for fun and had already had this one planned for ages. A few months ago he asked if I wanted to come for part of it. What started originally as me coming for just 6 days has turned into 10 (his total trip is 14). I'm really excited, it's my first time to Europe and I think this trip is going to be an awesome experience together. I'm in no rush to to settle down again (my divorce won't be final til July anyway) but I am really happy and I like where this is all going so far.
Bf and I are a week into living together and overall things are going pretty well. It is actually more of an adjustment for me than I thought it would be. I have gotten very used to being on my own over the last 2 years and having my routine down and the freedom to do things my way 100%, and have become very my way or the highway. Well obviously that isn't great for a couple living together, so I am conscious of it and trying to make more of an effort to be flexible, and considerate of what he wants to do.

Yay! I'm glad things are going well. Always the over-thinker, I'm already a little worried about the adjustment when I move in with BF in September. I've lived alone for 2 years, but he's lived alone for almost 9. And he's a super introvert. I don't want to be too much like this:
I'm still with the same BF. We have plans to get a house next year together. We would love to do it now but with kids on both sides, we really want to take it slow. We recently took a vacation together with all of the kids and it went really well. This relationship is so easy and relaxing, but I do get nervous about living with someone again (plus his kids). I got used to it just me and DD.
