Missed opportunity?!

Long story.... aiming to shorten!

I am divorced after a very long fairly unhappy marriage with a very angry man child, which ended with me finding her had spent years cheating. This was five years ago and I am in a far far better place emotionally and mentally! Took some recovery!

I have dabbled in online dating but it's not for me for many reasons! Whenever I do get to a date stage, there is zero chemistry, connection etc and it just feels awkward and contrived. Resolved that unless it happens in real life, it's not going to happen for me and I'm happy with that. Happy single, settled, safe and content. Sometimes lonely... but can fill my time!

I just keep bumping into this guy everywhere I go! We make eye contact, we smile, we've chatted briefly over a queue in macdonalds, a lost pair of goggles in a swimming pool etc etc.... and tonight after one of these encounters I got in my car and drove off and instantly regretted not 'doing' something?! Not sure what... just something! You can't swipe someone in real life!!
So... will I ever see him again?! And if I do... how do I make it more than eye contact and a bit of chatter... or don't I?!

You'll see him again won't you? 😆

You need to ask him his name and find out if he's single!

I'm hoping I do... but don't know how on earth to start that conversation, and one of always has our kids with us!
Sending it out to the universe...!
