My first date with a friend from long ago

Ruthanne

He contacted me on FB last year and then we talked on the phone a lot of times then he one day said he couldn't find anything to talk about and I suspected it was because he had asked me out and I kept putting it off. I was not in the mood to meet anyone at the time. Well, I hadn't seen him in 40 years. We had one date that ended rather stupidly probably because of our immaturity about 40 some years ago. So we had not talked on FB in about a year. I sent him a pm that a mutual friend had died and we started talking again on fb. Then I gave him my new phone number and we talked and decided to meet.

He came over today from about 50 miles away with an apple pie for me. We ordered Chinese food and sat down with my dog, too, and had a lovely lunch. We talked and laughed about the last time we had seen each other and the circumstances which were quite funny. We listened to a little music and talked about old times and how things are now and it was just a real nice day. I was pleasantly surprised it went so well. He told me I looked good. I told him I liked the nice beard he'd grown. When he left I gave him a kiss and I didn't think he expected that so I gave him another one when he got downstairs. Just a peck but we'd never done that before in 40 some years. It was a nice time. :pepper:

How nice, Ruthanne. Even if it's just friendship, it's good to have company of an old friend! Glad it went well.
 
The apple pie is what did it, eh Ruthanne?

I'm so happy for you that the visit turned better than you anticipated!
 
Sounds good!! Keep us posted on developments!
I called him to make sure he got home okay and he did. He wants to come over next week and make me a spaghetti dinner. Yum.

Sounds like you had a really great time. I am happy for you.
Yes, it was a good time. Thank you.

Yes, I'm really glad it went well, too. Wasn't sure how it would go.

Good for you! He's a lucky guy. :encouragement:
Awww...thanks hoot!

That apple pie looks so good but I think I am going to save it for the cookout on Monday. That was really sweet of him to bring that and buy the Chinese lunch, too. I gave the tip to the delivery man. It's funny how things can turn out good..took 40 years but hey...what the heck! LOL.
 
Ruthanne - bottom line, if it feels good do it; if it doesn't don't, and have no preconceived thinking. I guess in hippy terms - go with the flow.

Many moons ago, I was single for what seemed like the first time in my life. I had a wonderful time "playing the field". Then one day I noticed that no women were "hitting on me" - it confused me until I realized that without my knowing it, my "available sign" was no longer showing. I had found what was the perfect woman for me and, somehow or other projected it.

Main thing - have fun and enjoy life.

What a nice story. How did that line from Casablanca go? "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship..."
 
I agree. That's so nice and I'm happy for you. It sounds like a pleasant reunion. :eek:
It was very nice.

Sounds like a great guy! How very nice for you both that you got back together. :love_heart:
Yes, Annie he is very nice!

If he brings another pie next time maybe you can supply the ice cream. Happy for you.
A la mode yes!

So happy for you. Keep all of us posted!
okay.
