Been thinking about someone

Hi all,

I know it’s been awhile since I last posted, but because my summer has been really awesome, I haven’t felt the need to until now. Ever since I’ve last seen this young lady (actually, about 12 or 13 years younger, but still legal) in May 2015, I’ve at times been tempted to call her. She’s the daughter of one of the female outreach workers that retired back then from the recovery center. She would often visit her mother at the center along with her own infant daughter. When the worker first introduced her, I thought she was still in high school! But of course she wasn’t, she was in nursing school. I remember noticing and looking at her a fair bit and feeling her look at me, maybe. So much, that as I was getting ready to leave the center in the car I shared with my mother one afternoon one winter, she smiled and waved at me. When it finally came to the party for her mother’s retirement, I remember I was sitting alone with her sitting and talking to another client at a nearby table. At one point, she looked at me and asked if I’d like some more lemonade. Because I’m rather wary of romantic relationships, I interpreted the look she gave me as saying “I can save you!”

However, so much time has past. I mean one of the last things you want to do is even call someone you hardly know and use them as a last resort. On the other hand, she seemed like a really nice person and I might have missed my chance. I don’t have a really negative view of romantic and marital relations anymore, I think I’m just rather pessimistic about the realistic chance and circumstances of me being in one. Any advice would be appreciated.

Can you find her number? I think you should try to pursue it, otherwise you’re always going to wonder.

What do you have to lose? What can you win? Call her. Ask her if she wants to do some activity together. Then you’ll know her better. What does she like?

Me and my husband have 10 years apart. That is nothing when you are adult. The only down side is that he will retire 10 years before me. :wink:

Try to get in touch with her, you have something in common and in the worst case, if you can’t reach her, you’ll know you did all in your power to get to know this person better.
