Didn't really think of this as a test run... that is a perfect way of putting it.

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

these are the things that will get you back in the game. not that you have to. but its like a dry run for when you are ready to date. go test your conversation, communication, courtship, flirting skills. see if you still got what it takes.
just remeber, no expectations and no leading anyone on.

good luck

I agree, go for it. A few months after my stbx filed and old friend envited me out. I was torn, but decided to go. It made me feel much better about myself. I realized there is life after divorce. Have fun.

Anyway... I am still in the healing process, but have a question... I am by no means ready for a relationship again yet. However, there is a girl from about a year ago that always had a crush on me, and wanted to go out, etc. Because of the ex, and because I am not the cheater type, I declined.

A few days back, we got into contact again, and she wants me to go and spend a few days with her (she lives a few hours away now). Obviously a relationship isn't going to happen, since I won't do the LD thing and I am not ready for that again, but is a few days of fun going to help me or make things worse?

I know the ex is with someone else having her fun, but I don't want revenge to be my reason for doing this. And just to satisfy those shallow posters out there, yes, she is a very attractive woman.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
Anything that spells "FUN", I say:

GO FOR IT!

And oh, don't forget to take pictures, and show them off to friends. And by all means, when you do this, the words eventually will arrive at your ex's ears about how much fun you have, and boy, would that get on her hair!

Make it clear to this girl (before going) that you are not ready for a relationship!!! Just a forewarning!!!
You don't want to show up, spend a few days and nights with her, and then leave her thinking that there is something more when there is not.

I vote yes! Get out of town, have some fun. Don't even think about your x... just let it all go and enjoy life.

Keeping yourself busy is the best way in the world to stop thinking about the ex. As long as there are no expectations things will be fine. Life is made up of things you do, not to those that you miss out on.
