After a particularly horrible divorce nearly 5 years ago, my DD & I relocated to the other side of the country last year (and I wanted to be a little nearer to my widowed mother). I have made quite a few good friendships, and I already knew people here so visited plenty of times before making the move.
Up until now, I have been happy to be on my own but now I'd like to start dating again. However, before I had a chance to start, I have just been contacted by my first love (via FR....don't laugh!) who I haven't seen for more than 30 years (he was the one to break it off).
His profile says he is single & he works in the same city as I do; he doesn't know I am here because I haven't used FR for years so I haven't updated my location.
I want to be honest when I reply - I'm wanting to say how fab our life is here in ... but I'm really unsure how to go about it. I don't want to be evasive/mysterious - I hate all that game playing/rules stuff - but equally, I don't want him to be freaked out either.
I am struggling with my possible underlying motives for even responding....would I be wanting to meet up in the future, just so I can find out what went wrong in the past?
Gaaahhh, help please!
