HS Sweetheart Resurfaces ADVISE!

So I'm 26 & was with my HS sweetheart from 14-17. The relationship was really sweet & young. We basically broke up b/c he was 2 yrs older & at that age thats HUGE lol. Anyhow, I hadn't even seen him in like atleast 5 years (we saw each other in college but didnt talk). Anyway, I found him online a couple of weeks ago & thought I'd email him 2 say hello, etc. At first the emails were very innocent & so not going anywhere. Then he started emailing me more often & even IMed me. There was some flirting going back & forth but I thought nothing of it. We then exchanged numbers & met up on Wednesday night (Thanksgiving Eve) We met at a diner after partying seperatley earlier. It was late & we had no where 2 go so we stayed @ a motel & just drank some & spoke.NOTHING HAPPENED! It was like the Twilight Zone. He held me & we fell asleep. I didn't feel uncomfortable just weird that this was happening. I woke up 2 go 2 the bathroom & he reached for me asking where I was going. That was weird 2 me I don't know why but it was. In the morning he wanted 2 go get breakfast but I had 2 rush home since it was Thanksgiving morning. He texted me later saying it was interesting catching up again & Happy Thanksgiving. I texted back & said the same. Friday we texted all night & we wanted to meet up but it was late & we were both tipsy. We flirted via texting & then he called me when he got home & we spoke 4 like a half an hr. Then Saturday we made tentative plans & he was like how he was tired & staying in so I said I guess u don't miss me dreadfully. He responded right away & said he is jumping in the shower & 2 swing by 2 pick him up. We went 2 the city w/ me, my sister, & 5 friends & had a blast. He texted me later that night to say he had a gr8 time. He imed me Monday morning to make plans for this weekend & I agreed. I guess my questions are these: What's happening here? Has anyone been in this position before? Any advise? Tx!!!!!!

What a sweet story, wished I was in your shoes. Are you afraid of being happy? LIFE IS ALL ABOUT HAPPINESS. I wish you luck and hope to hear wedding bells in the near future.

Seems innocent to me. Two people who had to be friends at one time catching up and enjoying each other is innocent enough. Enjoy it for what it is worth I do not see romance in it just friendship. Plus majority of the time spent together consists of drinking so very little goes there because some people will flirt with a pole if the been drinking so a guy drinking and flirting is no big whop and does not seem to be he is showing he true self.

We have plans 2 go 2 the vineyards this weekend & then 2 go out w/ 2 other couples Saturday night. We're not always drunk though & we flirt back & forth online during work hrs & we definitely aren't drunk then. He also emailed my sister & said that only time will tell what will flourish out of this situation. I'm trying 2 take it 4 what it is but was curious 4 what other people's advise was. I tend 2c only inside my bubble so anything from outsiders is gr8! : /

He seems to care for you. I just hope there is no third party on your part. Enjoy your time together and best wishes. Gee, I like this forum esp your post. It's like reality romance novel and I can't wait to find out the next episode. *smile*

Cerebral One & All:
So he texted me last night after we IMed all day. He texted how he was psyched about Saturday nt as well as wine tasting on Friday. I texted back & then got no response. I figured he was teaching. He then texted me again similar 2 the previous message. I texted him 2 guess where I was & got no response. I then called him & sure enough he didn't get my texts as I assumed. 4 some reason his provider & mine sometimes does that (happenes w/ my sister & her b/f as well) He was actually at the office again & said he'd call me back & he did. We talked & laughed 4 over an hr.We spoke of each others pasts & found a lot of similarities w/1 another. We had a great conversation! It's been a long time since I have experienced genuine laughter! The timing seems good b/c neither of us are attached & both would like to settle down with the right person. I tend to meet men that are unattainable in the sense that they don't want marrriage in the near future or have some other drama. However, so far so good...no red flags yet. I'm so nervous & excited about this weekend!!!
