This is a follow-up to a previous story, but I’ll write a quick recap.
I met Stephanie a couple of years ago when at the leisure pool with my daughter. She was new to town and visiting the pool for the first time. After an initial interaction and some friendly chat, we quickly found ourselves joking with each other as if we were old friends, but there was a hint of something more, a chemistry, an attraction.
This led to some flirting when we later bumped into each other again in the showers, and some playful looks when in the locker room.
We exchanged numbers and have been good friend since.
But the friendship hasn’t just been platonic. We found out that we’d both had bi experiences in the past, and although I was married and she was looking for a boyfriend to settle down with, there was a spark between us.
At first we didn’t know how to proceed, so we just behaved like normal friends. We met regularly at the pool, went to the park, had the occasional girls night out, etc. She is a little older than me, but she is fun and friendly so quickly fit into my friendship circle.
