I sent a valentines card ...

On Valentine's Day I sent a card to someone I know only a little - completely anonymous, just reading 'be my valentine'. This was a totally spur of the moment thing - I made it myself as a little piece of origami (I know that he likes Japanese stuff) and popped it in his letter box. Now I am usually quite reserved and this is quite a departure for me. I have just come out of a hideous year after my marriage fell apart and I want to be more forthcoming in how I deal with others. I have not received or sent a valentines card in a long long time. This man is single, although he has been previously married and is a little older then me. He interests me because he has a really kind face, he seems like a lovely relaxed person and I have witnessed him being really kind to my kids at a local sports event. Now I doubt he has guessed that the card is from me as we really only know each other in passing. I have quite a creative job and I thought that the card itself might give him a clue, but. I saw him this evening briefly and he gave no indication that he might have any suspicions. I suppose that I would quite like him to have his suspicions to see if he might be a bit interested in me, but I don't think this is going to happen without me taking another step. Any advice!

Another update. We had dinner together twice and coffee. Yesterday we shared a small and sweet kiss. He is older than me and has lovely old fashioned manners. 'Tis nice and something positive in my life.

remember your thread too, OP - exciting! I'm wondering if he confessed that he liked you before you asked him out - but was shy to ask you out?

Oo! How lovely!! Good luck with it all and please keep us posted. I love a bit of romance. Smile
