Bill, you've been thru a lot recently.......and I am in no way trying to nose into your business, but just don't fall too hard for another women too quickly. At least not until you are comfortable with your own intentions. Trying to fill that void may take some time.....so don't be afraid to put on the brakes and just enjoy a "friend" of the opposite sex for now. I am sorry for speaking out of turn, I just would hate to see you get caught up in something that may not be what you want, or need, at this point in time. I am happy for you though..........a good woman, friend or more, is a very good thing!
edit: Just saw your response to hark........and I think you are approaching this the right way. No need to rush!
