This is bonkers. I got a taxi last night, something I very rarely do.

The driver was lovely. Probably early 50s (same as me) one of those well worn middle aged men who looked very good for his age. But before I noticed thatn we were chatting easily about things you don't normally talk to taxi drivers about. It was only a 10 minute journey, usually I'd fiddle with my phone until it was over, but I know his life plans and shared some of mine. This is very out of character for me and I hadn't had a drink, he collected me from hospital!

Anyway I shall never see him again, but I've spent an unreasonable amount of time today thinking about him....

Ah, that's so nice. In answer to your question- it's only happened to me twice and I'm the same age as you.

Could you maybe ask the taxi rank to forward your number to him?

He's probably married!

Ahhh I see, well then that is a shame. But if you didn't see a ring and he didn't mention a partner then maybe not 🤞

A real click, romantic or otherwise is pretty rare I think. Twice a decade maybe, at best.
Most people are a more gradual thing than that, though the resultant friendship is not necessarily any less strong for all that!

Just once, at uni. I passed up the chance of a relationship because I was running around after another bloke who was never going to commit. Definitely regret it.

About three times in my life. I wish it happened more. I think some people fit with more people so have a bigger choice.

I agree. I think some personalities click more with others . I rarely click with anyone romantically, it’s happened twice and I’m 52.

Lol, wish I hadn't clicked with so many men, that's the easy part before knowing them. But then I've tried a slow grower too, didn't work out either. Click or not, its not a guarantee of future happiness, and its all too easy to get blinded by a click feeling. I still remain hopeful either way.

Met and married the last guy I clicked with!
