I got a response when sending my condolences for her lost cousin. Now I guess I need to leave it for a while to let her grieve.

I feel like since you've expressed interest in reconnecting and you've made contact, it's likely best not to message her again. If you're on her mind, she'll message you.

Humans are hard 😂😂 this is why i prefer to hang out with dogs 😂😂

Well, the ball is in her court now....not much you can do. But she accepted the friend request, so that's good. As for being in a stupid uniform when she saw you the once, that wouldn't have mattered to me...at least it said you had a job. And if you were pretty young, soooooo many college students get stupid jobs where they have to wear unflattering uniforms or perform tasks they wouldn't necessarily want an audience for. I worked as a custodian, with all the glamour that entails, like scrubbing toilets and scraping boogers and chewed gum from underneath desks, etc. That someone is willing to work hard for little money is not a negative....it's work ethic and a willingness to work your way up.
I hope she gets in touch with you!

Oh, another thing about when she met me at the pizza place. I was out front and center handing out pasta samples when she came over. Ended up giving her one after chatting a bit.

So, at the beginning of last month I decided to use Facebook to reach out to a girl I used to sit next to in college. She’s actually the first girl I worked up the nerve to ask out. She let me down easy letting me know she had a boyfriend but continued to sit next to me and talk throughout the rest of the semester without ever making anything awkward. She was really nice. About a year and a few months later I randomly met up with her again while working at a Pizza place in a mall. Of course I was embarrassed as I was being seen by her in a stupid uniform but again she was nice to me and didn’t make anything awkward. When I looked her up last month it seemed like she was single now so I decided to send her a message stating who I was and basically just saying hi. About two weeks go by with nothing until I figured out that when you send someone a message through Facebook and you’re not their friend they’ll have to go through extra steps to even see it so I did what I probably should’ve done in the first place and sent a friend request. She accepted last Thursday and after that I was able to see that yes she is actually single now. I sent another shorter message on Friday but the first message also fully sent alongside it so I quickly wrote a third explaining the first was a few weeks old even though she’d probably see the date anyway. I’ve only really asked how she’s been over the years to keep it pretty casual. I’m able to see that she’s read them but I haven’t gotten a response yet. She’s still my friend though so I’m not sure what to think. I’m not even sure why I’m telling you guys this.

No one can tell you how it will go. She seems nice, but, doesn't seem to be aggressively trying to carry it any further. But, who knows, she might be interested but is being cautious. They tell me that women don't like rejection very much either. A couple of years ago, shortly after my 50th class reunion, I emailed my first love, my first date and the woman that our HS class predicted we would be married shortly after graduation. We weren't. I had to go off to a war and while I was gone she met and married her true love. They are still married but, she does still keep up communications with me. In case that sounds to melodramatic, she told me before I actually went of Vietnam and didn't even have orders yet. So it wasn't a "foxhole Dear John". Another X-girlfriend of mine also still stays in touch via Facebook.

I'm telling you this just so you don't get your hopes up to high, Yes, you should give it a shot, but just come out and ask if she might be interested in going out again. It might be like ripping a band-aid off, painful but quick, or it might get a positive reply. I always found that lingering, will she, won't she, was much more emotionally painful then just getting it over with. And many times we are really surprised to find out that there is an interest there.

Pretty sure I’ve gained more than the “Quarantine 15” and my BP is still crazy high, so it’s time to start a diet.

Step 1. Cancel DQ date with @Mike S .
Step 2. Empty out my underwear drawer.

For sure, I just had a blood test and it said that the levels of cardboard in my blood was quite low. CC is the best way to get that because at least there is a thin chocolate cover to give the corrugated part some flavor.

I don't think I really pegged an age on him. He looks like he could be in his 40s. I knew that wasn't the case since he's been around so long, but I wasn't expecting in his 70s.

Quite common, almost all of us that are 71 look no more then in our 40's. It is normal for me to be doing something with my 46 year old daughter and people think we are bother and sister. It's a curse, I tell ya! Surprisingly though, almost no one asks me if I qualify for senior discounts anymore. It must be my white beard is throwing them off.

I definitely will be trying once it seems like her family situation starts to settle down. It wouldn’t be appropriate at this time and now it makes sense why she didn’t answer with other more important matters to worry about.
