Ok - please bear with me as this might be a little long, but I'll try and shorten it as best as I can

Next month I turn 40 and at the end of the year, I will be able to get my 2nd divorce

But that is not the problem - im happy about that

I have just started talking to a friend of mine again - we lost touch for a little bit

We have known each other since year 3. And I have always liked him - yes all this time. Except years and years ago, I realised that I was in love with him

He always said that he only thought of me as a friend and his best friends sister; so I moved on and got married to a cheater and then a mummy's boy

So now we have started talking again and somehow the conversation got onto how I feel about him and he admitted that he has always had feelings for me, but couldn't act on them

I have spoken to him twice since Thursday and last night we spoke for 2 hours

He said that he has been wondering if he made a mistake and let the perfect woman get away. He said that I was making his heart beat fast. He called me baby girl and gorgeous. And he said that he just wanted me around and near him.

I really wanna take things slow with him - 1 step at a time

He also admitted that he could be falling in love with me. He asked me why I've cared for so long And so much. I told that I didn't know but he has always had a part of my heart and I can't let him go. He replied and said that was fine and he'd like to try and get there with me

He asked why now and I can't answer that question

What do you guys think? Does this sound positive?

Has anyone been through something similar?
