To make the long story short, there is this woman that I used to flirt with way back when I was married. I sensed that there was mutual attraction but because I was married and because she is principled, we never acted on it. That was like 4 years ago.
Fast forward. Well for the last three years I have been separated and only became officially divorced last month. Now, this girl who I considered a friend last contacted me July, 2002. Yes, over a year ago. She basically wanted to know how I was and wondered why I had not called her (we sort of drifted apart and with work and everything, I just lost track of her).
After she called me, I called her a couple of days later and suggested that we go out. She seemed all excited and looking forward to it. But here is the kicker. She asked me if I was divorced. I told her no that I was still separated but working on the divorce. After I told her that she got all flakey and her IL seemed to nose dive. I never heard from her again.
Now, I have been thinking about her lately and have been wondering whether to call her again since it has been over a year. I figure the fact that I was still married at the time turned her off. Now that I am divorced maybe things would be different. But, then again, maybe she found someone in the meantime and it would be kind of awkward to call her after so long.
I guess I have nothing to lose. Any suggestions?
