Popping back into this thread instantly reminded me why dating isn’t worth the effort. Good grief.

You’ve only been divorced for a year. Why are you already rushing to date someone new? Take some time to enjoy being on your own first.

If you follow the Marriage/Divorce thread you would know that my situation was different and the idea of spending time with women who wanted to be around me is something that had been missing for a long time. Also, how the fuck do you know what I am or am not enjoying? I have already had plenty of time on my own over the last year even while dating (and enjoying that quite a bit). Fuck, I am already planning a degenerate gaming session of POE2 league start instead of almost guaranteed romance at the end of May.

Yeah, you're right, my apologies.. Just had triggering visions of the typical needy individual that HAS to be with someone constantly.

My wife's parents initially refused to meet me when we were first going out, but after they realized it wasn't a short term thing, they were cool with me. We have 4 in-laws, I'm the only white one, and I'm their favorite in-law.

Your initial read is correct but once they open up to you they treat you like authentic family.

Are her parents Jewish?

I think having money might also be a requirement. Or at least being on the path to having it.

Not sure who you're talking to, but I concur, a lot of folks here need to get better at being alone for a little while. Jesus H. No need to spaz out that you've been single for six months. I've had plenty of year+ single phases where I made zero effort to meet anyone and been fine, I'm always busy.

Though it's true that we have a finite amount of time in the world and I suppose I get that some folks need to be with someone else to feel like they aren't wasting it.

Guy stays single for a year, which is a long time, and he gets grief about "rushing back in".

I suspect you guys spend more time at your local hobby shop than you do in the shower.
