Okay ladies I was worried about this one since he wanted to go to dinner. I was actually going to say "No” but I'm glad I didn't because I had an amazing time. Any of you who read my profile know that I was in an abusive relationship for over 9 years. So to have a man treat me like a Queen was wonderful. I was worried because "what if I ate to fast" or "what if I had a stuck episode"? But I prepared myself by looking at the menu online before meeting him at the restaurant so I already knew what was on the menu and what I would order. And during dinner I just remembered to take small bites and chew, chew, chew, and chew some more lol. Things went perfect. Although I didn't finish my meal, so I hope he doesn't think I was wasteful but all in all it was a great night!!!! Loving the new me!!!!

    That is fantastic. I am so sorry to read about your past relationship. But the best word in that is WAS . You are right to feel that you should be shown nothing but respect and love. And we all know that it was his loss!!! I hope this man, and any other that would be lucky enough to have the privlege of taking you out on a date, realizes just how special you are. And very smart tip on looking at the menu in advance. I wouldn't have thought of that. Congrats on not only a fantastic date, but a fantastic attitude.
