so, if anyone remembers the guy I mentioned last week, here's an update. I met with my counselor and talked it out with her (She knows more about what's going on with me than ANYONE. so I wanted her input.) She says I should go for it. I have a good head on and can acknowledge everything between me and him. I know what I want and whatnot. I don't HAVE TO bring my kids into the dating portion until it gets serious enough to introduce them. she read some stuff between me and him & told me about what he probably means and that I did great at expressing myself to him. (this meeting was on Monday.)

well, anyway..

I replied to him on Saturday. he, since then, has left me on seen. no replies or anything from him. she has said to give him a few days and if he doesn't reply, then oh well. he must not have been as serious as he seemed. I don't personally feel like he is. the day after I last posted about him, he stopped replying after acting normal and posted on fb about "finding someone to build with that won't waste his time." I took that personally.. I just didn't want to jump into something without thinking it through some. ya know? so, yeah. that's what happened there..
