Despite feeling “anxious” about the rendezvous, Thomas, who is mom to her 7-year-old son Miles with Marion, met her blind Date at an NYC eatery on March 28.
“He was kind and exactly what I had asked for,” she wrote. “Polite to the staff, warm and easy to talk to. It was lovely to have an adult conversation and a break from routine, but I couldn’t help feeling disconnected. As I sat across from him and he shared things about his life, I heard what he was saying but the energy was louder. He seemed so ready to plan a wedding, start a family—that first chapter of adult life, one that feels long ago for me.”
And the next day, Thomas admitted she didn’t feel great about the meet-up.
“Despite nothing being wrong, today I woke up feeling overwhelmingly sad,” she explained. “I’m missing Michael more than ever, and I’m feeling angry that he doesn’t get to be part of my second chapter. I’m also thinking about someone—not the date from last night.”
