In Vino Veritas… a thing?

Im a divorcee in my early fifties and met a man similar to my own situation two months ago . Same age, main carer, both divorced and seemingly
compatible in the important things. Early days of course but signs are looking good. We’ve agreed exclusivity and that we are an item but also agree that our children will have no involvement in our relationship for the time being.

He sent a voice note last night. We were both out separately with friends.
He had had a good few drinks at this stage as he was planning on going home.

He said that he was mad about me and had a hopeful feeling that I felt the same and that it was all a big surprise to him ( us meeting and getting on as well as we do and the chemistry etc) and also that he was craving me and wished we were where I was,
together.
Now bearing in mind that he was well oiled , is this bs or do you think it’s truth that comes with too much alcohol and was feeling amorous ?
He has not ever said anything like this before .
thanks.

it just sounds like a nice and usual level of enthusiasm for the early stages of a new relationship - new relationship energy! By craving you I think he just wished he was physically with you in that moment which is nice, no? What are you worried about?

Thanks. Im
worried about being hurt again and falling in love again.

What has he said since last night ie when sober?

tinfoilsavesme · 05/04/2026 20:58

Nothing much .. we just chatted about our respective nights and how we enjoyed the exchanges, generally. We made a plan to meet in a couple of days instead of next weekend. we didn’t explicitly
discuss his voice note

Yes it's a thing. Be wary of lovebombing xxx

I sent my relatively new girlfriend lots of similar messages last night when I was out with mates and pretty well sloshed. I meant every word. Hope it’s the same for you. It’s a lovely thing as a new relationship gets going
