My divorce will finally be over next month. I have been socializing since I first filed, (in September), and I have dated 2 or 3 men during this time. There was no chemistry, and I did make it clear before accepting any invitation that I was not into a sexual relationship at that time. The relationships fizzled and I can't say I was sorry. I was married for 20 years. I am 59. The man I write about below is 50-55.

I met a man I had met several months ago at a meeting last week and from the time I laid eyes on him I felt a "love at 1st sight" feeling. My heart speeded up, butterflies in stomach, nervousness, etc. We did speak to each other and I sensed he was experiencing the same attraction. I was married when I first met him and really never paid any attention to him. I do know he is divorced, I don't know if he's involved in a relationship presently, but I think not.

He positioned himself directly across from me at the conference table and shared his smiles and some body language which I know indicates "male preening". When exiting the room, on the way out the door he touched my back and upper arm. He is not a "lounge lizard", (believe me, I've met them..!). He seems gentle and humble and I think somewhat puzzled by this as well.

You know how some people say, "I knew I would marry him/her from the moment I saw him"? That's what I feel! I should just "settle down" my emotions right?

I'll see him Monday night at the same meeting. I'm beginning to feel anxious already, but I chat people up pretty easily, and I do have a reason to speak to him. Should I make the next move by initiating a conversation? Any suggestions/advice/observations appreciated.
