Been single for about 4 months, bumped into an ex colleague today when shopping with my elderly mum. Didn’t know him particularly well at work but was on friendly terms so always said hello had a chat etc when I saw him. Anyway he saw me, came over and the first thing he said was ‘you look really really good’. we chatted for about 5 mins until my mum needed me then I needed to rush off mid conversation.
Always found him attractive, but as I was married at the time never considered him as anything other than an acquaintance. I think I might well be overthinking this and I’m so out of practice with this kind of thing, so do you think this was just a lovely compliment or is there more to it? There is a work do coming up that I know he will be going to and I would be open to getting to know him a little better but don’t want to overthink things as it’s been a long time since I’ve had to think about these things!
