I took an annual personal trip to visit family and enjoy some early baseball. While watching the game, I (watching alone), was seated next to a woman roughly my age who was also alone. We started talking -- about the game and the team. We had a good time, and joked "see you at Nats Park". The next day, we ran into each other at the next game (even though it was a long drive), and found ourselves chatting some more.
Naive me was thinking this is a nice person. I do not think of myself as attractive, or anything. I am middle aged, and feel it. The mistake is when, after the game, she suggested we get dinner. I figured, I have to eat, and I had referenced my wife and kid multiple times in the conversation. At dinner, she touched my hand....I had not felt a spark like that in 30 years. She suggested we continue the evening together (my hotel for the night was nearby, she had to drive back to where she was staying; I was staying nearby for a flight). I begged off, saying 1) I probably would do something I would regret, and 2) I had an early flight the next morning.
I was going to shake hands, but she went in for the hug, and kissed me. I enjoyed it, and she could feel that I was enjoying it. We parted.
This was the first time in my life I had basically been offered sex, but turned it down. I was wondering how I could be so dense not to read the signs to shut it down earlier, and yet I was really turned on; I wanted to, but knew the consequences for me.
I had not given her contact information, but she was able to piece together enough information to find me on Facebook. She messaged me, saying she had a good time.
I have not responded; I am conflicted, and know what the right thing to do is (and will do it).
But, I get back home, and my wife starts ripping into me about something trivial that she had to do while I was away; this (the nagging and yelling) is not an uncommon thing. And we have not had relations in quite a while. I keep thinking how nice it would be to spend time with someone who is nice to me. But then, I think, the woman from Florida must have her own flaws. If nothing else, she is trying to seduce a married man.
And yet, I can not stop thinking of her. I have not responded to her messages (now plural) or her friend request. Part of me is willing to risk everything for the potential, but part of me is saying this is not who I am....
Not sure what I am looking for in posting. Probably just writing it down.
