Look at me,53 years old and dating again <br />After my divorce, dating was furthest from my mind <br />Years passed, now I'm finally in the prowl <br />On the way to her house, I'm as anxious as a teen-ager <br /> <br />A 55 year old divorcee, ready to try again <br />I met her in the supermarket last Saturday <br />We talked, flirted, exchanged phone numbers <br />Now I'm on my first date in 18 years <br /> <br />Things have changed since my dating days <br />What if she offers to pay for dinner and the movie <br />Some things however have remained the same <br />Wondering if the night will end with more than a kiss <br /> <br />Middle-aged dating, now that's really something else <br />Instead of 'will her parents kike me? ' The question is 'how will her children feel about me? ' <br />And will mine like her as much as I do already <br /> <br />At the movie, I put my arm around her cautiously <br />To my surprise, she leaned over and kissed me <br />Thinking 'well what do you know, she made the first move' <br />At dinner, we played footsie under the table <br /> <br />At her door, I kissed her goodnight <br />She said 'I had a great time, I'd like to see you again' <br />'So would I how about next Saturday? ' 'Ok it's a date' <br />'Call me when you get home' she said and kissed me again <br /> <br />Walking home with my head in the clouds, I thought to myself 'she really is great, I can't wait to see her again' <br />And then, this familiar feeling came over me <br />'I remember this, it's falling in love'<br /><br />Harry J.
