Dating for Recovering Fundies

[senda wales]

Oh, this thread.

Ok, so I've dated 2 guys since the new year. Great way to start 2012! Met them both salsa dancing in Silicon Valley - great way to meet nerds who are artistic, fun, and athletic. I've really tried to focus on just enjoying myself and having fun when I'm out on a date. I try not to think about whether this will make it to date #2, 3, etc. or if I'm gonna see the guy again.

Distance from fundyland and all of the associated guilt has helped me feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin. I think I still come across as conservative and probably boring to those who lead wilder lifestyles but at least my nervousness from fundy guilt doesn't crimp on my style now.
