The Text

So now I have a sticky note with her number on it. Now what. I start having second thoughts because of her age. Now I know what some of you are thinking…age is just a number. And that is true. However, we are talking about a 20 year difference and I’m 50 so do the math. I also have 2 daughters to think of and how what they might think and how they might feel about it. On one hand yes it is my life and I should be with who I want to be with. But my girls are the most important thing in my life and they will always come first. They were very young when I got divorced and I have worked really hard over the years to make sure our relationship was always strong. I would not ruin that for a relationship that I’m already hesitant about. So….I’m staring at the sticky note throughout the day and after overthinking the situation all day I finally did it. I sent her a text. As we were texting I sensed she was hesitant too but I wasn’t sure what it was. My age, was she in a relationship already, was she overthinking like I was? But after texting for a while I finally asked her if she would have dinner with me and she said yes. So we made a plan to have dinner the next week. This is where it starts to get interesting. So stay tuned.
