Had a really long text chat with my long lost iron, who is adamant he wants to spend as much time as possible with me when we meet up this week. I'm very out of practice, but I feel like he was flirting with me and that there was still a connection. It doesn't feel like two old friends meeting up, it's starting to feel like it might be an actual date.
My biggest worry is that as we haven't actually seen each other in years, he's going to be disappointed when he sees what I look like now, but I'm not hard to track down on social media if you actually know me (guys from OLD don't get enough information to do this!) so he must have internet stalked me and seen a photo. I'm telling myself he must know what I look like... He's the one who initiated this meet up!
This is why I don't like dating. I remember now. It just brings all my insecurities to the fore.
@Moopyhereagain If you've been sexting already, I'm not sure a date can be totally casual - I'd expect quite a lot of heavy in-person flirting and innuendo. Hope whatever date it is turns out to be fun though, and Mr Cagey doesn't blow his last chance.
@StartingAgain6369 Ugh, you can't help it. The heart wants what the heart wants. Sometimes there is just that pull!
@BelladiMamma I get it. Whenever I've done OLD, I've refused to give them samples of my work to read - I know some of them are curious (been on a date with an actor myself before too!) but it feels more intimate than kissing. I know what you mean about putting a lot of yourself into your words!
@TobyEsterhase I'd have cut Ms Drop Dead Gorgeous loose for the comments to the waitress. I watch how people interact with all people, not just the ones they see as their 'equals' and if they're different with them, I see it as a major red flag.
