Peachland Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 I've just got out of 18 month relationship a couple of months ago and looking to date again. A former co-worker who is recently legally separated asked me out for drinks this past weekend. Originally I thought he wanted to talk about his divorce, etc because we met about 9 months ago to discuss his potential separation and the impact on children and what's life like after divorce. Anyway since our lunch months ago he is now legally separated and the financial agreement has been worked out. In our state, you have to wait a full year before the divorce decree can be signed but he said there is nothing more to work out and the wait period is just a formality. Anyway we went out for drinks and it turns out he likes me. I've known him for 14 years through work and we've always got along. BTW he no longer works at the company. He's really a great guy but now that we are both single he's comfortable expressing his interest in me. We have a running "date" set for next week and he also asked me if I wanted to join him for a race he signed up for in a few weeks at his beach home. We are both into running and physical fitness and I told him that I was looking to sign up for race since I'm training right now. That's when he brought up joining him for the race. His beach house is 3 hours from where we live and I was bit surprised by his offer and then immediately asked where would I stay. He stumbled a bit and said he wants to me to be comfortable and would set me up in cool hotel near his home for the night before the race. Honestly I'm attracted to this guy. He's sweet, kind, smart, attractive, successul and wealthy. He's everything I would be looking for except he's newly single. I usually go with the flow in the beginning of a relationship but I've tried to avoid separated men if at possible. I'm thinking I may want to see where it goes especially since I've known him for so long and he would be a great catch if it were to work. Since my divorce 3 years ago I've only found dates via online which is getting old. We are both in our mid-40s with kids the same age. Any thoughts? See where it goes or run away now?
elaine567 Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 I am usually of the "keep away from separated men" opinion but as you have known him "forever" and it seems you have nothing better to do and you have your eyes open and you have loads in common with him, then why not?
