Tell me some of your dating stories?
I'm bored. I'm newly separated. What the heck can I expect out there?

In August of last year I met a guy in my buildings laundry facility. He was visiting his grandmother who lives a floor below me...
She'd been having health problems as he was doing her laundry.
I'd dropped a sock on my way out and he returned it to me in the hall.. .. in which we struck up a conversation.
A few days later I'd ran into him at a WaWa where he'd stopped to have lunch with a work crew...and he asked me out.
We had a several long phone conversations that week in anticipation and I remember he really surprised me at every turn.
Learned about his time in the service...how he lost the lower part of his left leg due to a road side bomb along the boarder of Syria.
So the day arrives, we have a nice dinner and decided to play miniature golf. Right when we began to play I received a phone call from my sister in San Francisco. Our father had suffered a heart attack.
I can't say I remember completely what all transpired but on a first date I brought a small purse containing my ID, 50$ cash a hair brush and chap stick. We were 60 miles from my apartment yet 10 from the airport.
He drove me there and put a round trip ticket on his credit card that left in 40 minutes.
He stayed in contact the length of my stay, picked me up when I returned. ...and well...crasy first date.
Been seein' him since.

@Punxi First dates can be complicated for sure.
We do not know the person yet but we are suppose to look good, act confident etc.
Acting confident is hard when we are trying not to do any mis-steps.
I was married for 14 years but we divorced in 2010, yet we are friends to this day, amicable split.
Anyways, our relationship started off on very shaky ground. Not fighting, just very b*zarre circumstances for the first few weeks. Of course it was probaly myself overthinking the situation.
