Awwww, thank you, AHL. I'll cop to the fun part, but I'm still working on the insight dealio. *grin*

However, it appears I have another kind of crush going on..... Yikes! Yanno, the real-time kind.... This is when I smack myself around a lot wondering why I just can't get up the nerve to ask her out! On so many levels, I have confidence and know I am a competent human being.... but.... I really do get shy in this situation and all tongue-tied (no jokes, please!!!). Just not afraid to admit to this...

I have realized that due to the fact that I was in 2 long-term, monogamous relationships (just what fits for me) totaling nearly 30 years beginning at age 26, this dating thing is quite the Magical Mystery Tour! And having been honored with acceptance of dates from some truly fine (and I have to say, quite attractive) women over the last couple of years, just has not stopped my pre-asking-her-out jitters!!

Jeeeeeeeeep-Saaaaaaakes!

Take a deep breath. What's the absolute worst thing that could happen? Really? Now think about how boring it would be if you DIDN'T get these jitters? They are there for a reason. Enjoy the little suckers!

Ha! I had a dyslexic moment with your s/name and now (since I put it inside your post) I can't edit it. Bummer.
