Whoops, I thought I had posted this on the relationship board.
I'm going to wait another month - after 25 years, what's another month - until I've recovered from the Halloween-ElectionDay mini bender.
Susan, good advice about not explaining how I got the email and that sort of thing. I will keep it positive.
I guess my biggest fear is that I haven't been a great success, at least on the surface, in the world's eyes. I think she, on the other hand, may be teaching at a major university.
And there's the thought, why am I reaching back 25 years for a "date"? (actually, I never did date) What's wrong with me? Alot, but that's beside the point.
She knew me less than a year after I got out of the army and an army hospital psych ward, at a time when I was unstable, in emotional pain, and immature, yet we managed to stay together six months. I'm in so much better shape now, just falling apart a little.
When I get to the point where I don't have any expectations about the outcome, I'll contact her.
