New year and new beginnings, cliche title, I know...

Hi all. Funny how some things turn out. Dating sites are a flipping nightmare, they are full of fake profiles and players. As a genuine guy, its difficult to get noticed as, most women get hundreds of emails and they end up deleting them all except the odd one which might catch their eye, what catches their eye? Except for the situation where a girl contacts a guy, thats different, you already got their attention without doing anything. Thsi girl, woman!, messaged me on POF, which by the way seems to be quite a good dating site. I wont tell you her name, we will just call her X. So, I get a message from X after she is attracted to my profile. We ended up emailing back and forth quite a bit, swapped numbers, txt ensued and I called her. We also connected on FB. We arranged a date fairly quickly and met up, I actually gave her a computer table on the date, as it had come up in conversation and she wasnt too well off with recent expenses. She was divorced last year after a long battle with her awkward ex. Has her own place half an hour from me an older son and a daughter of 8. So, situation, perfect. As in, after the last couple of years of my relationship after my divorce, maybe it was not the best decision to move in, but you do what you do at the time. So my need, is to have my own place, where my kids feel safe and not threatened etc etc. And that is how this is. First date went very well, I gave her the table and joked that it would get me a second date as I would put it together for her... well that worked. Second date, her house for a meal, third date, my house for a meal. We do get on so well, she is, to me, beautiful, sexy and everything else a guy would want, I am to her, it seems everything a girl could want. Yes, I know, honeymoon period and all that, been there.. But I have a different feeling about this one, we are not going to be able to live together in the short term I have my life in one place she has hers and her daughters in another. For now, that is good. Whats the moral to my blog? I think, that everyone goes into a new relationship and there is an echoing phrase, take it slow, take it easy. All that sort of thing. But each couple has a different speed at which they do things and at which the relationship advances. We are all adults, and are capable of only going as far as we are comfortable. So if you end up sleeping with someone after a couple of dates or a month or ten dates, it doesnt really matter, as long as both people are happy with that. If, your not happy, you put the brakes on a bit, or maybe even cool off big time. I have been involved with two dates since last november. One, was a lovely woman but she was not emossionally ready and was up and down like a lift on saturdays. The other was too a lovely woman, we were getting on real well, but, I suspect she decided she didnt want to date someone with two young kids. Miss X has an outlook on life which is 30 years younger than my past GF, who hadnt had kids, because of that although there is 2 years between them, personality wise there is 30 years between them. ...I am loving it, the attention is great, the company is great, the future looks great. I still have my house to decorate, but there is no rush, we both have things to do in our seperate lives, so that will continue and we will respect the time we each need. We are not going to be using every bit of spare time to be together, maybe at first, but this will be level that I guess will come when the so called honeymoon period is over. We have washing, housework shopping etc to do. So, if your contemplating a dating site, I can recommend POF, go for it, might take a few weeks to find someone who fits your list, but it might be worth it and at least be in control of your destiny as, you do as much as your happy with. I am quite happy just now, I suspect I am going to be very happy very soon. We have a plan of how the kids are going to be introduced, but nothing too hurried.
