it's been forever. pretty much 5 months I think. on 1 April I had a date. really didn't realize what the actual date was until way later, but yes. we met on FB dating. he was very good a talking and making me laugh. do you know how important that is at this age?
we had 2 prior dates planned. first date, he realized he had double booked. with his friend. which is a girl. i know. can i just get over myself?
second date he had covid. even sent me proof of his tests and everything. our next date was scheduled on 1 April - again, didn't realize. Ended he had sold his prior house and was moving into his new house on....April 1. now, here's the deal. it would not have mattered. if he canceled that date there was no going back. and he admitted to that later.
boy, did he look like crap that night. but he showed. i think we had one drink. and promised to text. i wasn't too sure. but then i thought, this guy, after a really hard day of moving, showed up because he knew it was the last time.
ok. so a second chance. and we have been together ever since. i was no way expecting to feel this way at 58. statistics were not in my favor and I had kinda settled. and here we are. we've already had our highs and lows. crossed some major things - like the death of wife (less than a year ago) putting his dog to sleep...A LOT.
but so far we've made it.
