I wasn't sure which forum to put this in, but here goes.

 

I've recently started talking to an old friend that I've known for at least 15 years. He is divorced with 2 children, I'm in the process of divorce as well. It's kinda funny, we used to hang out some back in the day, but haven't spoken in recent years, then when I joined Match a few months ago, I saw him on there. I messaged him just so it wouldn't be awkward that we were both on there, he hadn't realized my ExH and I had split.

 

Anyway, we started chatting about life in general and dating and relationships, all this was just friends to me. He has on occasion said something flirty and I just laughed it off. We were texting on Sat. and I didn't have my daughter and had no plans so he asked if I wanted to meet him and his kids for dinner. So I did, we had a lot of fun catching up and then took his boys mini-golfing. When we left the mini-golf place we were both saying how we'd have to do it again soon and that he'd come up to where I live (he lives about 30 min away).

 

I think we both might be interested in seeing if there is anything there more than just friendship so I guess I'm asking if anyone else has been in this situation and how did you transition? The only other reservation I have is that I'm 45 and he's only 37 and his kids are a bit younger than mine. However, I know if the guy were 45 and the woman 37, no one would bat an eye.
