I recently met a man in a professional environment who was sent by a company to assist me with something. It was unplanned, random and we are highly unlikely to meet again as we have no reason to. We didn’t exchange any personal details.
I have a partner who I Iove very much and treats me very respectfully. He is an amazing caring interesting guy. This is why I am feeling strange and questioning whether I overstepped a line.
The guy I met was visually striking, not that he was some handsome sex god, that’s not it, but his presence and appearance was intriguing. He was chatty, confident, funny and friendly and went out of his way to help me with extra things he didn’t need to.
During this time we got chatting a little and all of a sudden it was like we had a connection. We shared with each other all different kinds of viewpoints, life experiences and genuine interest in our respective careers and made each other laugh. It was not blatant flirting or banter, I would have felt uncomfortable if it was sexual or a come on. When we reached the natural end of our interaction we just said goodbye and left.
It felt so strange and fascinating to have a random instant connection with a stranger I keep thinking about it. He was so intriguing but I don’t know why? Is something missing or is this just one of those weird strange things that happens sometimes? It’s never happened to me before.
I feel bad about being intrigued and enjoying this conversation though. My partner knows about the interaction but not about the details and I wasn’t planning on explaining it to him.
