When I started seeing my husband (the first guy I wasn't embarrassed to tell my therapist about), I was gobsmacked to realize how much I hadn't known about dating.

Thanks for giving me a good lesson. I've been a single guy for quite some time .. but .. this period is over. I realized this when I began to look with envy at those friends who were planning a wedding. While I am actively searching, check here. I really hope that I will find my soul mate this year.
