Of course, I did think it might be awkward (b/c you probably don't have a lot in common any more), but, more importantly, good for you! I'm very glad you enjoyed your convo.Sarah Hipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127310898615441853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-71916114031183511052014-05-21T16:05:38.462-04:002014-05-21T16:05:38.462-04:00Oh, Cordelia!

No plans for future phone calls, no weird vibes. And at least it's not "him and me" -- it's "him and everyone else whom I've told about my having found him". Safety in numbers. :)Authoresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223228949688667517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-70899152405233717082014-05-21T16:01:56.528-04:002014-05-21T16:01:56.528-04:00I'm so glad this turned out to be good - so fa...I'm so glad this turned out to be good - so far. And I really need to get to know MargotG!<br /><br />Last old flame that contacted me seemed like a good thing and a fun trip down memory lane, until he informed me that he and his wife 'swing' and wanted to hook up with me and mine. I didn't share that earlier because I didn't want to scare you too much.<br /><br />Please keep us in the loop after the skyping begins, okay?<br />Cordelia Dinsmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704456269484202163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-92133015231408923982014-05-21T15:46:50.166-04:002014-05-21T15:46:50.166-04:00Fantastic news.

(See, I just can't help myself.)<br /><br />But isn't this shaping up into a rather nice plot line. The heroine's morale dilemma, the conflicting advice of friends, family and complete strangers, her angst. The heroine accepting the bad boy at face value, and making up excuses for his continuing odd behavior. All we need now is to plot what happens next. None of that, they lived happily ever-after stuff. Too boring. Conflict, we need conflict. (: <br /><br />Your readers are terrific. I wonder how they would finish up this story.MargotGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-6583709052786509532014-05-21T10:43:51.123-04:002014-05-21T10:43:51.123-04:00MargotG, I actually have several friends who are a...MargotG, I actually have several friends who are anti-Facebook. Honestly, I don't get it -- Facebook has been an amazing reconnection place for me. It's all about the people, and I LOVE being connected. So this guy falls into the I-don't-Facebook camp, for whatever reason. He is certainly not alone.Authoresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223228949688667517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-4045508942091856652014-05-21T10:22:24.172-04:002014-05-21T10:22:24.172-04:00Too early to tell if this is the end of a happy sh...Too early to tell if this is the end of a happy short story, or the first chapter of a scary thriller. The kind where the bunny rabbit ends up in the cooking pot.(Clearly, I read too many of the latter.)<br /><br />Still leery of a kiss-and-forget 'em guy who says he longs to get in touch with his old friends but who can't take two seconds to contact any of them on FB. Doesn't sound like he's moved all that far from his original self.<br /><br />Regardless, all grist for the storytellers mill. <br /><br />MargotGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-54766752786874242252014-05-21T09:44:33.744-04:002014-05-21T09:44:33.744-04:00Yay!!
