Glad you both took the risk on your local party. Good sign that you read her well enough to be comfortable asking, and that she's been able to emerge enough to do something differentAll is good, we went to the party on the 18th together, and I am going to meet her family on Tuesday.
We still communicate each day. It's like being a teenager again, in some respects.
Yes, the family will all be there for Christmas and it should be about 20 people including grandkids. Kind of overwhelming. But I think they know a lot about me already since I have been seeing her for a while.Glad you both took the risk on your local party.

Meeting the family is a powerful sign of her healing and what she thinks of you, and confidence in her family's assessment of you as well.
The comment about being a teen again struck a chord. I mentioned that idea to a lady I recently met and think it's a good approach to maximizing the fun while not making the drama and pain we've all experienced the dominant feature of our lives.
Thanks for the updates, keep doing what you're doing boss!

It may seem or feel overwhelming but remember, they love their Mom and want to see her happy, and you make her happy, so they already want to like you.Yes, the family will all be there for Christmas and it should be about 20 people including grandkids.

The day went well. We had a great time and a lot to talk about.

Keep us posted, aja. Have a Merry Christmas!
Things have been going very well, and we have really connected (and both our children and their families seem to be OK with us as a couple). She checks all the boxes for me and I guess I do for her too. So we will see what the future brings for us older folks playing the dating/romance game!Thanks for sharing Aja. These have been my favorite threads of the year.
I’ve been needing a hopeful story.
