Never be the first person a guy dates when he is ready to rejoin the dating pool after being widowed.

You may fall in love with him, but you're just a practice run for him.

I can't believe that 9 months after he dumped me, it hurts to hear that he is no longer single. Dang, I fell hard. Thought I was totally over him too. Maybe not as much as I thought.

I felt the same way when my ex found someone b4 i did. I think its kind of a jelous thing. Because the next person that comes into your life will make you forget all about them. And if you dont... then you are still in love with them.

So am I. Nothing like finding EXACTLY what you were looking for, wanting, and dreaming of, and then it not being returned and him being ready to move on.

Ah, but sometimes, no matter the intentions to keep ones heart safe, sometimes it just happens.

I dated a widower for a few months and started falling for him. His daughter and I formed a real bond. He then had to make a trip back "home" to settle some property issues, etc. And when he came back, he re-hung all of her pictures back on the walls throughout the house and said he still wasn't over her yet.

You realize few ever talk of success with a widow/er, right? It's not their fault entirely. While it's tough to live up to a dead guy, their marriage vows were taken to the bitter end. I'm sorta jealous of that.

Speaking from a widows point of view it is extremly difficult to "get over" the death of someone that you took vows with. I have started dating but the guy knows that I will never be over my feelings for my late husband. I will love him until I die. That's just how it is when you truely love someone.:smile:

Dragonflytat I agree with you.A part of my heart will always belong to my husband but, that doesn't mean I can't love someone else.The right man will understand this and vice versa. Yes there are people out there that are stuck and can't move on.I feel bad for them hopefully time will help. So to those who choose not to date widows or widowers you may be missing out on some really good people.
