Love at first sight

Never believed in love at first sight until I recently met a man. We agreed to stay in touch.
I feel like a 16?year old waiting for phone to ring.
Never thought I would feel like this again.
We agreed to keep in touch and meet up .
Help! What should I do?

By the way, how old are you, crazygran - is there still hope for me!

Has he phoned yet? If he has good luck & enjoy it ?

DanniRae Fri 27-Oct-17 17:04:41

Oh this is so romantic Crazygran - do let us know what the outcome is, PLEASE!! smile

Whether anything comes of it or not, how lovely for you to know that you can feel like this. it happens so seldom, to some people it never happens, so you are lucky to feel it.

Enjoy Crazygran, and there is such a thing as love at first sight ?

Christinefrance Fri 27-Oct-17 17:10:22

Enjoy, life is for living, let us know what happens smile

Take it slow - don't frighten him off or on the other hand don't let him know how smitten you are until he is equally so.

Agree with Teetime. A friend of mine did just that and he backed off rather quickly. They do still meet for outings but he obviously didn’t want a permanent relationship.

That's lovely, keep us posted Crazygran,

Crazygran Fri 27-Oct-17 18:10:13

Thank's folks. Got everything crossed. Will let you know. We do live about 4 hours away .
Trying to be positive. Please cross everything x

How lovely for you,just be a wee bit slow in accepting any new "date" we don't want to come across as too willing do we. best of luck xxx

Crazygran Fri 27-Oct-17 18:43:53

How do I cope if he doesn't feel the same?

Ilovecheese Fri 27-Oct-17 19:02:52

If he doesn't feel the same you are still the lucky one because you have been able to feel it.
The unlucky ones are the ones unable to feel that way. in other words, he will be the loser, not you.

Yes I believe in love at first sight, it’s a wonderful feeling. Enjoy it, I hope he does feel the same sunshine

Crazygran I hope this goes well for you of course, but how you cope if he doesn't feel the same is to be delighted that you are ALIVE again. Don't wait around at home to hear from this man, get out there doing things that you enjoy in the meantime. Meeting new people will lead to finding close relationships again, so grab every opportunity you can. Is it possible for you to join the local U3A? So many new things to do there, and so many new people to meet. Good luck. flowers

Enjoy it regardless of the outcome I think you're brave to contemplate another relationship well done

Crazygran Sat 28-Oct-17 09:36:39

Thanks everyone your comments are lovely!
Feel like a teenager waiting for the phone!
Will let you know
X wink

If it's what you want Crazygran... go for it.... but me...once bitten , forever shy! I don't think love is freedom at all, it's always felt like imprisonment to me. But I've been a cynic these past 20 years , it works for me. But you grab what you want girl..but always on your terms. Good luck .

Theoddbird Sat 28-Oct-17 09:43:21

Awwwww how wonderful. I do hope it works out for you x

palliser65 Sat 28-Oct-17 09:46:18

Enjoy.x

How fabbbb.... btw I'm writing this in green!!!!! ??

Crazygran, I met the love of my life 12 years ago. Never realised what it was like to feel really loved and cherished; my ex husband was not the most loving of men. New man and I married 3 months ago and I've never been happier. Good luck, love and hugs xxx

Good luck but most of all have fun, but please be true to yourself and take each date as it comes.
