When I think about other women in terms of dating I get nervous. I am mostly thinking it would be nice to just go out to dinner or have someone to hang out with on occasion.
The last time I dated, 24+ years ago, it was enough to know that they were hot and weren't picky about looks since they were willing to date me. Now...I'm a widower, I have kids, and I have to think about all those things.
I also miss Mary. I flew into Denver today and as I drove away from the airport tears came to my eyes. The wide open flatness of it all, with lights sparkling in the distance, reminded me of our time in Arizona. And then I started to think how the remembrances were something that only we shared...and it is gone.
But, I'm only 43 and there is a lot of life yet to live. Now...if only a hot chick would have one of her friends come up to me and tell me that she like likes me, I'd be all set!

Go for it, Bob...but take it easily at first. It takes a long to be relaxed about seeing anyone else. But of course, at 43 - you're so YOUNG!! - you must make yourself a full life again. Just as Mary, you're so very loving and lovely wife would have wanted. xxx from me
