The topic for this thread is as follows:

Guy A , mid forties (divorcing in 6 weeks) is interested in asking out girl B, early thirties (just divorced). Wild card Guy A taught Girl B in Sunday School 16 years ago.

Is this just too weird?

Guy A sniffs and says, "well, my intentions are honorable, but ...."

Guy A admits to having been attracted to Girl B 16 years ago but is proud to announce that he behaved;

Girl B is the essence of his type.... quick as a lightening strike, dark haired, real, oddly and wonderfully formed, and please understand that Guy A is not just looking to hit it. Guy A is entranced, having just bumped into Girl B by chance. Guy A is conflicted and at the threshold of danger.

Danger Will Robinson!

Guy A was invited to church by Girl B. Guy A waited 3 months, or in other words, as long as he could stand it, and then went. Guy A was polite and shook her hand, and sat alone, and Guy A was ashamed that he couldn't keep his Guy A eyes off Girl B.

This is no way for a former Baptist Sunday School teacher to act towards one of his former pupils.

Guy A reports that she is breathtaking!!!

Guy A is seriously conflicted.

Well, she is one of those women that picks men badly, divorced twice and with three daughters she is pretty much in need and subject to gravitate to any mature man that can stablize her life....still, she is so darn ATTRACTIVE. She is a five percenter; i.e., the sort that you would be darn lucky to interest on your best day. Still, the circumstances suck.

I...err.... Guy A is not afeared of rejection; this has never been a problem of his. He is, however, concerned that he might get caught up in a drama. Guy A is soooo conflicted here.

Look, this is not just a case of the hots. Those needs are being taken care of. Guy A gets his needs taken care of.

Our old Guy A here needs someone that he can "center" his life on. That is just the way he is.

Guy A is apt to gravitate towards women with brains rather than women with more physical charms (not that those are not appreciated).

Girl B has both in spades and in such depth thatGuy A is postitively inflamed to explore!

Guy A is really conflicted here.


The conflict is largely based on the difficulties

Guy A has probably blasted out of orbit in regards to her and is seriously in need of help. Houston, we have a problem.

Guy A needs to stop staring at Girl B's arms long enough to figure out a way to get her self-confidence up.

If she is Girl B who is Girl A?

Just curious but why ?? In Canada everything is no fault so you could sleep with every lady in a 10 mile radius and it would have no impact on the legalities. Is this different in the States?

If its emotional, I don't think the actual final divorce decree changes much . .. either you are ready to date of you are not and 6 weeks is very little time

Personally I wouldn't let teaching her Sunday School 16 years ago stop anything. Go for it. If it turns out to be "too weird" , it probably would never work and you've really lost nothing as long as you are not an ass about it

Since you named the characters Guy A, and Girl B, why not cut it down to A and B from now on to make it shorter?

Go for it.

For what it's worth, I asked out one of my co-interns today, a girl I've had my eye on since July. Pretty much got blown off. At this point in my life, I've been rejected so many times that it's hard to take it personally anymore.

So if you go for it, and it doesn't work out, no big thing. I'm sure there are other former students who would jump at the chance.

Dude.

You know what you want.

Just take it, OK?

And be happy about it and make her happy in the process. Women want to know that they are wanted and desired. If she wants to hear that from you and you want to say that to her, then what's the problem?

So what if the situation's perfect? If circumstance and desire shall meet, so much the better!

16 years-difference will mean less and less as the years go by. Do the math.

You're an adult. So are your family and parishoners. Any "harm" that might be generated will be alleviated with the passage of time - especially with a happy and content marriage to show for it. The best revenge is living well.

The game is played differently at this level. Capt Dizle is in his mid-forties, with a (hopefully!) solid history behind him (any kids, Dizle?) While he always needs to be respectful, there's nothing wrong with him treating her parents as equals or friends.

Fact of Life #1: Once you're married, or once you've been married, or once you're older than, say, 24, nobody gives a **** (and, really, nobody gave a **** though you thought they did) about your sex life. We just assume that, if you're an adult, you're getting laid somehow.

It's not like he's just getting out of high school, nor is it like her parents don't know how her "date nights" are ending up. I mean, the lady in question is in her 30's with 3 kids.

The only obstacles I see are the ones that Dizle is creating out of thin air - social pressure? Age difference? "Her parents might not like it"? "I have money"? (still trying to figure that one out.)

Wow. Guy B is jealous of Guy A being able to consider dating, having fun, and... oh wait, my wife just told Guy B that just because he has been married 7 years, that it doesn't change the fact that he is the luckiest person in the world.
