Just so you know, friends are absolutely necessary at any age that you are dating. Really, they are necessary in a successful life. However, I certainly would not have made it into 3 months of dating now, with out them.
One friend has been through it all with me; she knew me when I was married, has been SUPPORTIVE through and after my divorce and has given me great guidance through this dating online. Two of her comments that I think of, often have been 1) don't be glued to the computer, don't spend more than an hour a day on it - looking for men and 2) JUST BE.
Just be came into play last night when my Rodeo Date found out what I did for a living. I think he is okay with it, and I have to tell myself... be STRONG, be CONFIDENT and it will be okay.
Another friend has listened to every date story, thus far. She even called prior to the Digger Dave date to give me moral support and then what turned out to be after my date, in hopes to be my "Wing Man Call" to get me the hell outta there, if needed (not). She's given me advice on things that no way would I ever discuss with my mom or sister.
All friends that I've shared my tale of woes with - just that I've started online dating, seeking a relationship in my life, has been met with cheers and support. And thats great. At 43, I need my friends. They are the Glue, the flowers, the base, the BEST in life.
Don't leave home without 'em.
