To feel awkward I went to lunch?

Do you ever make a decision and then sort of cringe about it?

A while back, a friend of mine and myself were chatting away, and it turned out that my friend’s neighbour was a distant cousin of mine. The neighbour sent me an email to ask about some of my family and said it would be good to meet up one day.

I was bored, so sent her another email saying, alright I’ll take you up on it. She said, oh come over for some wine and I’ll make some sandwiches.

So off I went (having never met her!). When I got to the house, she said, oh my husband’s family is in town visiting us. So I ended up having lunch with a very distant cousin, and her husband’s family. It was a bit awkward but we had a fair amount in common actually, and the conversation flowed and had a nice glass of wine and some sarnies. I sort of enjoyed it, but felt out of place.

Now I’m thinking about it later, I just feel awkward having intruded? Even though they first suggested it.

I accidentally posted this in chat , sorry about that

I actually think good for you to actually go through with a suggested social plan. So many people say “we must meet up” and never bother. By saying yes to things, it opens you up to new experiences and enriches your life. Nice of your long lost cousin to be so hospitable too. I don’t think you should be worrying about anything.

I think in these post-lockdown days we should be doing more of this.

I can rest easy now! Got an email saying how lovely it was to meet me. I should stop overthinking things

Great, it sounds like it was just good/fortuitous timing.
