Yes please! The sooner the better I say! So many times I ask myself how much hurt could be avoided if men/women were honest and up front with their intent?

It would appear like you are trying too hard. You have already contacted him so the ball is in court. As hard as it is to wait, you have to if anything to see if he is interested! Just keep yourself busy with your life and carry on as usual because if you spend all your time thinking about this.. it will just eat  you up.  good luck!

It sometimes gets discouraging doesn't it?I completely understand what you are saying.\nFor me it has taken realizing that the right person for me is not in my town and most likely not in my state.Opening up to the possibility of the right person being in another state widened the potential matches.\nI guess that is not for everyone,but I did not want to miss out on the right person just because I was stuck on thinking they are near by.\nI wish I had the answers but I don't all I know is sometimes we do need a break to just "be" as the search can be exhausting on soo many levels.\nI know many people will tell you to stop looking and the right person will find you,but what if everyone just sits back and stops looking??LOL I am not sure how that would work then lol\nBottomline you have to do what feels right for you :)

Doggdoc has a point there...but you could phrase it something like, "you know we've been dating for about a year now...I don't date other's anymore, I'm finding I want to date you exscusively...how do you feel about that kind of arrangement?..."...well maybe you can make it sound a little more romantic than that...but you get the idea...good luck!

I think its really cute...love indeed is sweeter the second time around. Perhaps you can start talking to each other like ordinary acquaintances and then just ask him/her if she/he wants to go for some cup of coffee or tea. You can gauge by then your next moves...maybe a movie or dinner. Have fun and i hope everything goes well with you. Cheers!

27 is not old !!! my wife found me at 28 and she has a son. he was 5 then, just turned 8 last week. we are married now with one on the way - any day now - due date next week. i thort as you do " where is she? where can i look? "  I'll be honest with you, i never believed the old saying " stop looking and they'll find you "   but thats exactly what happened. honest. the only real advice i can give would be, dont try too hard, be yourself at all times, dont wait too long before you tell him you have a child, go out when you can with friends, explore all avenues (i mean blind dates and set ups as long as evaluating all pickup lines).  goodluck and i hope that the right guy is just aroun the corner for you.

I thought that word left town in 1950's. Even though I was not even born then. (Courting).\n\nJust ask her to a movie.

My suggestion would be to start all over, let me explain.  When you were dating, before kids, before the wedding, what did you do?  Did you enjoy going to dinners?, movies?, hiking?  Whatever it was that brought you two to the point of falling love do it again.  Send the kids to grandma's for the weekend, get a babysitter for friday night and go to dinner.  Sure, it may feel a little weird the first few times you go out, but that's because you haven't done it in a while.  Start slow and build from there.  There's no majic trick to finding the spark again, you need to work at it, but it will come!  Remind yourself, and your spouse, why you fell in love and got married. \n\nHope this helps!

If you had a Letter of Marquess, just exactly who or what would you go after?\n\nIt seems to me that you would need to make a case to go after specific persons rather a class of people.  You couldn't just get a letter to go after "pirates".

... sex & ... uhhh lemme see ... some love, attention, understanding, ... oh yeah and sex; committment, a "home", a real man, some ca$h ... oh did I mention good sex; warmth, tenderness, security, children, education, a nice car, some great sex etc.\n\nHey it has been fun ... I got an easy 10 points off of your questions ... ask some more.\n\n... BTW you forgot a 'c' in the word accused ... use the "Check Spelling" option ... that is free (i.e. no points are deducted).

I'm in the process of finding the same thing with my guy. I honestly dont know but I'll be looking out for answers. Plus to those who always reply with 'ask her/him' thats not always as simple as it sounds.

Two weeks is a short time.   I have been separated for two years now and my divorce should be finalized in two weeks.  LOL... it is always two weeks.  I still don't feel ready to date yet, but I am.  What ya gonna do?  Turn down people when they ask you?  Where have I met people, lets see... at the grocery store check out lane, at the car dealer waiting for my Van to be repaired, at Johnny's New York Style Pizza parlor, my neighbor, on yahoo... gosh, everywhere.  Only go out tho when you are ready.  I worried for the longest time that I just wanted to go out with guys to prove that guys would still find me attractive.

BRAVO !!!\n\nI am glad you are doing the best thing for your marriage.\n\nMost couples cheat or want to cheat, because they miss the romance.  Now, listen to me, TRUE love never dies...\nmany times, married people get lazy > take each other for granted, and stop flirting.\nThe best way to repair this, is \nbegin the flirtations again, and begin to respect each other's needs become best-friends and really care about each other's needs.  GIVE what you want to receive, it works!\n\nI always advise to RENEW the romance part.\n\nYou two are on the right track.\nYou obviously still love each other (as I said)\nRebuilt the TRUST...tell each other the truth how the cheat was only about sex, not love, and it felt awful and disgusting afterward.\n\nBecome best-friends, which was probably lacking before...\n\nEliminate the pride...it gets you nothing, and also can distort love.  Pride is a nasty demon to marriages...\n\nAnd when you two decide to try again, \ndon't every let the romance, flirting, and consideration ever die again.\n\nAlways DATE you mate  ESPECIALLY after marriage.\n\nI wish you LOVE\nstw
