It has been five months since I went from married to single. I have always been around someone. This is the 1st time I have been on my own, completely supporting myself, with no one to catch me if I fall. I will admit, it still feels weird to me. Anytime I want to do something or buy something, my brain still takes a minute or two to register that I don't need to check with anyone about it.
They say that you should wait at least a year before going out into the dating world, to make sure that you can stand on your own two feet. That you are out there, not because you have to, but because you want to. You know that you are okay on your own.
Now me, I'm a bit of a homebody. Even if I do go out, it isn't for long or if it will be for a while, I will ask a pal along. Now, how am I to know more about me if I don't start dating myself first?
Here is the plan for my first date with myself:
Here is the plan for my first date with myself:
*get a hair cut
*treat myself to lunch at a place I've never tried
*wander around the museum and admiring stuff I love
Maybe if I feel up to it, I might even be silly and go play some video games or I might just come home to a movie and cuddle session with my cat. Who knows? This is an experiment to get to know me better and I will also look good doing it, so make-up will be on and I will be rocking some of my favorite jewelry too. Whether or not it goes well, I am sure I'll be learning something I didn't know before.
