    OK basically seperated over a year ago (8 years married 3-4 years dating), got married young...

    I'm just starting to feel I'm ready to start looking at a relationship with someone else. So I met this girl on tinder, she's beautiful, slim, smart , laughs at my jokes. I met her on Friday for coffee we chated a couple of hours and then we arranged to spend some more time together at my place before going to the movies, everything went well. I was seeing definite signs of attraction (or at least what google told me).

    At the end of the evening when we were saying goodbye I kissed her, not a long drawn out a second or two tops. It felt nice and it wasn't awkward.. which was surprising considering both of us were stone cold sober.We texted after she got home and she said she had a great time.

    I don't want to mess things up... The last time I dated a girl was half a life time ago practically.. (obviously I took my ex out but its different ....) I don't want to come across too needy... but I feel like I want to spend more time with her.

    I feel a bit like a stupid teenager, smiling irrationally.... I mean I literally JUST met her.

    Is this normal or is it as a result of being emotionally starved for years and suddenly someone is actually interested in me and wants to be around me. All very confusing.

    That's all that matters. Don't play games, don't overwhelm her or yourself, don't rush in, but be open to something happening, listen to her and find out about her, let her know who you are. From where you are now, that's all you really need to do. Relax and enjoy, best of luck.

    Sounds like a winner to me, contact her and arrange another date night. Don't let the good stuff pass you by.
