Is this guy flirting with me ?

I am separated. I had an on and off long term love affair back in Uni but it didn't work out in the end and we went out separate ways.
Now we are back in touch via a group of old friends. We were both in the same city recently and he asked to meet up if I was still around. I couldn't but now the tone feels like it's become a bit more intimate. I'm getting on a bit in years so don't tend to think of it being flirtatious but am beginning to think it is ! He sent a photo today of himself and I began to wonder. Is it wrong to enjoy a bit of excitement?? Even if you feel old??

I've got a great-aunt who met a new partner in her 70s. They're well into their 80s now and they're inseperable. It doesn't matter how old you are or how old you feel.

Ahh sweet! Well you could even mention that and see what he says, see if he's matured and is willing to admit if he played fast and loose with your emotions!
You know you're going to have to keep us posted now don't you 😝

Lol. He apologised for the past the first time we had contact a few years ago. Mm it's going to be interesting and potentially terrifying 😀. Will do :)

Just finished it! Exhausting lol. Good luck if you meet him Smile

Lol. Thanks think I'll meet him in a few weeks when away in a mutual place . I've been thinking about it a lot. It managed to pull it back and just think - what do I want from this?

Sounds to me like you're the one that got away in his mind....don't invest too much right now but if your feeling open to meeting up go for it and see where he's at In life, you will have more of an idea afterwards x

Hi but if an update. Rollercoaster. We went out in a weird sort of friends date but he is still married to second wife. It's been a strange one with some messaging and slight fitting but ultimately nothing to be done!

He's a tease and not straightforward then. Not someone to get any further involved with.

ohno2024 · 27/07/2024 10:27

Yes I've unfriended and blocked for now though we are in the same large WhatsApp group.

Yes so I was the heartbroken one - I guess that's the reason to be wary.
So many years have gone by though, now whatever happened wouldn't really impact me emotionally.

That turned out to be etong - I have been burned: heartbroken now. Turns out he's still married, and yes I got too invested in it before realising everything. Big mistake.

Surely you found out his relationship status as soon as you got back in touch?

Whaaat? Still married? So what was his purpose in all that then?

The good thing is that you might have hopefully got it out of your system a bit? Sometimes you’ve got to go through it (even when you have doubts) to get to the end and be done with it.

So. Are you dating online?

No I didn't know it had sounded like they might be separating and also we were meeting as friends.
