The Unexpected

Given all the random events and situations that have occurred over the past few months, I should be surprised by much, but I am taken off guard, confused and baffled by this situation.

An old friend of mine, that is probably more of an acquaintance than friend, and I have been trying to meet up for drinks for several weeks now, but our schedules haven’t jived. Old friend is someone I know through my ex-husband’s circle of friend – again not escaping the past.

We finally decided on a night to meet up for drinks which was planned for next week, but we were able to randomly meet up Thursday night of this week. He was out with friends and I met up with them after a work happy hour and dinner.

I will spare you the details of the night, but as the night progressed, I felt an odd vibe that Old Friend and I weren’t on the same page. I totally thought we were meeting up as friends, we are both recently divorced (me a lot more recent than him), see each other out, looking to expand our friend network, I have even tried to set him up with SWF, etc. To make a long story short, the night ended with us hanging out on his couch and him kissing me.

It has never even crossed my mind that would happen. Not that he isn’t a great guy and super cute, I have just never looked at him that way. I chalked it up to a late night event, but since then, he has sent several random texted, last night was fun, what are you up, stay in Athens tonight and go out with us (see next post to understand), etc. I have no idea if this will go anywhere. I am not sure what to even think, but I am going to roll with the situation.

I am not sure if he and I are still on for drinks this week but I have a feeling while it may not be this week or next, there will be more to come on this topic.
