School reunion, male friend....something or nothing?

Hi, posted a lot about marriage break up in March, getting divorced,H gone off with someone 25 years younger than me (I'm 49). He's setting up house with her etc, right arse, refusing child maintenance etc etc.

Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Went to school reunion last night and met a guy who was really sweet when I was at school. He used to walk me home when I was stuck at the school disco. Couple of times I remember crying all the way home about some guy breaking up with me. He just used to get me home safely. Sounds daft but that's just something he used to do. (Only aged about 15).He doesn't remember doing it, just a nice person who did that kind of thing.

He's now 50,been married twice, both women went off with other men. Now single again. At the time he was never a looker, but has aged really really well, all his hair and actually now pretty good looking, slim and muscley.

We chatted quite a bit and he was just dead nice and we got on well. A mutual friend t the reunion insisted I took his number and we've texted a few times today and he's going to phone me tomorrow night. He's 200 miles away, in my home town, where I hope to return in a few years time.

Thinking I might just go with the flow and see what happens? Quite excited really! But feeling quite damaged because of the whole divorce thing at the moment, so not sure if it's all a bit too soon?

Any advice from those who have previous experience of breaking up and starting something new so soon?

Thank you for all your kind comments.

Felt good all day. Nice day at work. H came round, agreed a settlement, including child maintenance, parted on friendly terms...hopefully he'll not change his mind again.

I really like this guy that's phoning me..will just carry on taking it easy and see what happens.
