I dated very little before my marriage. I had a poor body image, shyness, what have you.

Found a woman that liked me, that I told myself I was attracted to. We got married and for several years we were legitimately happy. We fell apart and got divorced.

I was thrown back into the dating pool in my mid 40s. I was much more confident. It didn’t go well until I walked up to a woman in a bar and flirted. We connected and are now creating a wonderful relationship.

Then comes along another woman, happen-chance meeting through work, talked about superficial things and next thing I know she’s asking if she can be bold and is gives me her number.

I just had to have the conversation I never thought I would ever have to have, telling one attractive woman I can’t be in a relationship with her.
