[quote=Anonymous]Coming into my late 40's and when I was 22, dated someone for a little over a year.  I truly loved him and he introduced me to many things - intellectual, sexual, and some of his hobbies and interests.  A very good listener and compassionate guy.  Ended it with him after he came back from a long business trip because I felt that although we were very close, how we approached life was completely different and that it was not going to lead to a long-term situation.

He was pretty brokenhearted and although we bumped into each other a couple of times on the street, had never talked or had any type of communication for over 20 years until a week ago when I was walking into a restaurant and I hear someone say hello to me.  He looked the same but had less hair and was actually more muscular than I remembered.  Anyway, we had lunch together and then met after work and talked for a few hours.  On my way back home I started crying.  Both of us are divorced with kids in high school and it was as if time never moved.  I felt for the first time in a long time that someone understood me and I wasn't just talking into empty air.

My question is, anyone know if these type of things routinely work out or it's a once-in-a-blue moon thing?  You know, they meet, their kids meet, and everyone lives happily ever after?  To some degree I feel like some lonely middle-aged woman grasping at straws, but what if there really is something there?  What if we were just too young?  He left it by saying that it was nice talking to me without any let's keep in touch hints at all.  Also, we didn't talk about whether we were seeing anyone because it was not that type of conversation.

So what should I do?  I know he would never initiate something because his pride was hurt years ago but I would really like to at the least have him as a friend because we were once important parts of each other's lives.[/quote]
