I'm just coming out a long and unhappy marriage. FMH sold and I'm renting but just made an offer on a house 🤞
Slowly rebuilding my social life and stepping into the light after 2 yrs of hell. Finally got a sparkle in my eye and a smile on my face.
In my village, another couple split at the same time. I talk to the woman and she's often said that I'm more suited to her STBX. He's a quiet northerner. Introvert but once he knows you is more sociable. Quite deep and intelligent. I have always found him attractive.
We all live in the same village. My XH has moved away. This guys kids are younger but know mine. My son was buddy to his daughter when she was in reception.
Anyway chatting to his X (who ended it - I think she may be about to come out) she mentioned that she knew we'd been chatting in the pub the other night. I'd gone over to him as I sensed he'd hang back but it was friendly and we had a laugh. I was probably quite drunk too. He'd told her about this. They are having an amicable divorce unlike mine which has been acrimonious.
So I thought what the hell and got his number off her and texted him to invite him out for a beer. Sometime.
Of course that was 24hrs ago and I've not heard back yet. I can imagine him mulling it all over.
So how does it all work now? Does he ignore it if not interested? I leave it?
Another guy asked me out recently and I kind of gave a weak response but didn't agree to a date. He was v confrontational back and asked me if I was interested as he could handle rejection. I didn't reply.
I feel like I need to go to Dating school.
