Wow! I mean i didnt want to pursue anything but its so reassuring to know that guys find me attractive....and the fact that he was hot and about my age didnt hurt either! happycheer

Good for you. I know it's boost in confidence for you. That's great to hear. I'm sure you'll get more responses like that too.

A very nice feeling isn't it. And congratulations with your continued sobriety.

Well that's great when someone find you interesting. Attractive/pretty. Yep a confidence boost is nice. Even at a AA meeting.


(I'm not a fan of 12 step groups N.A. C.A etc)

So good on you girl!

I too know that feeling like when I'm out for my walk and a car load of guys go by hooting & hollering at me, or when I get cat calls going by a construction site. Although it does piss of Larry when I get hit on when he's with me. It's a great confidence builder.

Aaaw, you bring back such memories! I think it's important to feel attractive. It's certainly a big part of self-acceptance in transition.
