It seems only fair that since I was the one who raised the discussion of
seeing someone on the rebound, that I "report in" now and then.

To date (and we all want to do that, right?), J and I have been out twice,
the latest time being last Sunday.

I have noticed that on both occasions she has mentioned her former
engaged to type person, but I can't really say she is constantly
thinking of him, I think it just sort of came up. For one thing she's really
pissed at him because he hasn't sent something of hers back and now she
needs it (so it came up in that context , not like she was thinking
about it ALL the time, if that makes sense to you all!).

ALSO, we definitely seem to have had a good time, and , I hope , are on the
way to becoming friends.

Finally, she went out of her way to arrange for our second date, i.e.
I happened to mention in my opening remarks when I called that I would be
out of town the weekend of 1/15, and THEN I asked her out for weekend of
1/8. Turns out it really would have been more convenient for her to not
see me 1/8; but she decided to anyway since I wasn't going to be around the
weekend after.

At the very least, this is being very considerate, and the other end of
the spectrum, she went a little out of her way to get together because
she likes me (I know the preceding is a violation of the "Single Persons
Guaranteed Paranoia ACT", section 5, sub paragraph b --> "It is a violation
of this act for a single person to interpret an act of a MOTOS occurring
on the first three dates as a positive sign of liking his personality
traits under penalties described in section 9."

As Walter used to say, "And that's the way it is!"
