(There is no fool like an old fool.)

I'm 79 and C is now in her early 70's. We broke up about 30 years ago after a steamy two year relationship and I never got over her. I was an asshole. I still am an assshole but I am better at it (I take lessons in advanced assholery).

I still think about her from time to time. My love of 23 years died of cancer, 7 years ago. Then I went back to occasionally thinking about C. Not doing anything about it as I figure she doesn't need or want me in her life.


C and I have had no contact in the thirty years. THEN, last evening a mutual friend said she had contact with C and the first thing C asked was about me. My friend brought this up twice during our conversation.


Now I can't get her out of my head. I have been obsessing about her all day.

That is all.

1. Do you want to contact her? Nt

[MLAA]

2. Pick up the damn phone! Hellooooooo!

[Dave says]

3. Call her up/contact her

Just say a mutual friend said x, y, z and you thought you’d look her up to see how things are going.

(First rule of negotiations: ask. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. Nothing has to come of it, but it could be the first day of the rest of your lives together.)

4. Get in touch with her soon!

Y'all aren't going to live forever!

5. Hope springs eternal and glad of it. Find out from your friend what her mind's like nowadays.

6. Maybe your friend could ask if it's alright for you to call.
