Have you ever fallen for a friend?

[Soen]

An old friend recently got in touch with me. He doesnt use sm much and it was a genuine surprise to hear from him.

We chatted about what each other had been up to for the past x years. A lot has happened to both of us in that time.

Anyway, our conversations are very frequent now. Granted it's me who messages him first but he chats away when I do. I think I'm falling for him.

Help this is weird. Maybe I'm not and it's just the feelings of not seeing each other in so long. Besides I have two kids now. Also we live at the opposite ends of the country. So chances of anything happening are slik and none.

He has no kids and is very much single.
Tell me I'm being ridiculous.

Oooh that's a good reply. The conversation has turned away from this stuff but if it comes up again I'm going to use that line. Tis a good un

I did and he ended up being an abusive arsehole unfortunately!!

The nostalgia and reconnecting with someone from the past can intensify feelings I think!

Clicked post too soon...

Of course you could meet any guy and they could end up being an abusive arsehole, I just think in my case because I knew him from the past and he was so good and nice, that when the nasty side of him appeared this time I still saw him as the guy from the past, and it took me way too long to spot the red flags and by then i'd been sucked in. There was definitely a sense of not wanting to let it go this time as well as i'd lost him from my life before for many years, so that intensified the hurt and prolonged it also.....so by all means go for it, but be aware of the intense power of nostalgia, it's a huge reason why people end up getting sucked into emotional affairs etc.
