I just had the most exciting lunch date I could have ever imagined.

I ran into an old crush the other day at the supermarket. We once had an on again off again mutual interest in each other quite a few years ago.

Last one being he wanted to date me steady and I wasn’t interested in him at the time. We just never could get on the same page as one of us were always married.
He then became involved with someone else and eventually married her. The marriage didn’t work out and was short lived. He has tried to reach out to me via Facebook several times to go out for dinner. I have chatted with him some, but when he got to the seeing each other again question, I always ran scared as a rabbit. I use to be head over heels on love with this man. It was just always bad timing for me.

So face to face in the supermarket last weekend, where I could not run away, we made a lunch date for today to catch up on both of our lives.

He picked me up and I was very nervous, and I think he really liked seeing me that way. As my heart raced, he told me he could tell I was nervous. He had always been a looker. Many girls had crushes on him and he has broken many hearts back in the day.

Here he was as as handsome as ever. Dark brown eyes and hair. He was sharply dressed and smelling good. My heart melted. He tried to make it less awkward for me by joking around and calmed me down a little by reminiscing about old times. We laughed about funny old times. But still on the inside, my heart was racing and my palms were sweating.

He took me to the best local restaurant available that was open for lunch. He opened the car door for me which wasn’t necessary but I went along with it. As we walked up to the door of the restaurant, he had his hand slightly touching my back leading the way. I thought please let me do this without fainting.

Inside after we ordered our meals and waited. He told me how much he wanted me to be his back then, and I blushed so much my face stung.

All in all I became comfortable with him and it turned out to be a lovely time, tho short as he had a business meeting.
He asked to see me again this weekend and I said yes.

I don’t know where all this will lead but it’s time to take the plunge and let what will be, be.

It’s time to live and love again. I couldn’t be more thrilled at the moment. Life is good.

I do hope this will not be a mistake.

Thank you for reading.

That sounds great. From your description, you have fallen hard for him. I wish you all the best!

@Mugin16 Thank you. We have been friends for many years. So no, I’ve not fallen for him. I’m cautious because he has a reservoir of women to choose from and women will always be looking at him.

@SW-User Ok. But from what you have written about him, you desire him, right?

What did you wear for the lunch date?
SW-User
@Mugin16 It’s dinner tonight and I haven’t decided. Desired in what way? Do I lust after him? No. Do I like him? Yes

@SW-User Ok. A little black dress and heels, maybe?

@Mugin16 I use to have the perfect one. Just as you described. Went out once and I couldn’t get rid of an Italian man that was visiting our my country. My friend told me, “If you don’t want him, get out of the way”. Haha I let her have several that pursued me. 😉I don’t want to be too dressed up and certainly not sexy. I don’t want him to think he is going to score. I’m just not interested in that. I’m just not sure what I want but this will be a big step since we have somewhat of a history.

@SW-User Yes, sounds like you do not sure what you want. Where are you going for dinner?
SW-User
@Mugin16 I’m not. Especially with him and I’d hate to mess up a great friendship. He didn’t say where but I’m sure it will be nice. He’s just that kind.
