I can understand both sides, but on an emotional level, sometimes by the third date, it may become even more difficult to do so best to do it before you invest any strong feelings into a person. I think it's fair for both parties in that sense. Wishing you well!BDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10660018966658744459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5532388825298713035.post-35776137123651230912011-09-23T00:16:04.443-04:002011-09-23T00:16:04.443-04:00Good for you!

As for dating-- that's always tough but I figure I might as well "get it over with" and then move on to getting to know the other person better.<br />Feel good!Lemon-Aidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823677168311655083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5532388825298713035.post-39599166182442724162011-09-20T08:30:03.279-04:002011-09-20T08:30:03.279-04:00Sorry Leslie, I just realised I spelt you name wro...Sorry Leslie, I just realised I spelt you name wrong.

You must have felt comfortable with him, & that it was the right thing to do at the time. We make rules for ourselves with our illness, probably because we need to feel safe & have some structure to work around in day to day life. But didn't some-one once say that rules are there to be broken? I think you did the right thing because now you both know where you stand. GOOD LUCK! XRuthnoreply@blogger.com
