Hello Heidi,

Actually it’s been 5 years now. I moved not too far away from the complex in October of 2023. So no chance of it being awkward should anything come out of this or not. During 2024 the time since I moved, we’ve chatted periodically by phone call or text I always initiate but he’s always responsive. Small chats, nothing serious. I’ve made videos with music that I send him of my new outdoor surroundings and my adventures in the park next door where I find rabbits and beautiful skies… He likes them. The communication back and forth has been pleasant and positive.

My divorce was finalized yesterday after 5 years of being separated. So no, I have not been dating. Being married kept me from moving forward, not that I thought we would reconcile, but just the fact that I was still married.

I’m moving again but just downstairs from where I’m at. Bigger place, ground floor with a patio instead of a balcony. Looking forward to the upgrade. Move in date is January 6th. I’ll probably reach out to him just to share that. I’m not sure how that conversation will go. I may let him know my divorce is final in case that may have been holding him back, although we’ve never talked about it. I would like to share how I feel about him.

I do like this guy. He seems well rounded, responsible, kind, and a hard worker. He likes sports, golfing, kayaking, hangs out with his buddies and long time friends. I’d like to get to know him at a deeper level and I do imagine it could turn into something more serious if he were interested. I read an article on Beirristible about “Lovemap”. Maybe there’s something behind that and why I feel like I do. Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts on what would be the next best steps for me and how to move this guy along LOL

I found my post from 4 years ago that you replied to. It was from when I first met this guy. So funny! If you want even more background here’s where you can find it:

Side note: Actually I’ve known this guy for 5 years. We first met in October of 2019 before he moved out of the state to follow his girlfriend but then came back. I don’t know the details of why it didn’t work our except that there was no work for him in the state he went to. It was the beginning of covid and all the mandates … anyway I took your advise and waited except for the texting which I enjoyed as much as he did.

Looking back I think we both needed a break. I’ve been working on myself. Physically, emotionally, and spiritualy while deciding what I needed in a relationship after separating from a 32 year marriage.

Thanks for being here for me and for all of us.
