writes:I'm 36 years old and just getting out of a shitty 15 year marriage. My husband and I never loved each other and I'm ready to find love and happiness for the first time in my life. I've never really known what a 'crush' was, but I think I have one now. I met up with an old acquaintance about a year ago. Since we saw each other again we have began communicating online. I do not get to see him as he lives about 150 miles away. In the past few months though we have gotten very chatty. I'm going to be in the town he lives in in the middle of November for a family reunion. He's mentioned things like, next time I see you I would like to show you this and that, he's offered to take my 15 year old fishing, mentioned sending my youngest son some of his favorite taffy which is made in his hometown, etc. I never dated much before my husband and while I was NEVER HAPPY in my marriage I did take my vows seriously (hence the suffering for 15 years) so I was never unfaithful. I feel like a teenager trying to read this guys signals. I casually told him I would be in town the weekend of Nov. 19th and I would see him then he responded gotcha, but that was all. Am I overreading a new friendship or is this how friendships turn to crushes turn to dating?

It could be one or the other. If you like the guy, be his friend. He sounds like he wants to be a good influence on your kids, which is a bonus regardless of his feelings for you.
Meet his efforts halfway, and eventually if he is into you it will become obvious.
