rant....i think it is time for dating again. I keep bumping into a girl at the gas station, her parents own the place. I think i am jist going to ask her for a coffee date and get it over with. Lots so much time already, and there will never bee a perfect time for doing something. If she says no, no big deal. Have to get out of the apartment today, get fresh air at beach and then to shopping mall. I hope everyone is doing ok with their recovery ! Take care of yourself, treat yourself well.

One approach to the dating inquiry that you might want to consider is something like, "I really enjoy talking with you, maybe we could get a cup of coffee or something sometime".

It is a lighter touch to suggest a possibility. This also allows the other person to decline with something like, "I don't know, I have been pretty busy lately". They might even show enthusiasm for the suggestion like, "That sounds good, what would be a good time".

It sounds like you have a good perspective on not being decimated if there is a negative response. Good luck.
