I am a couple years older than her, we didn’t go to the same high school but we were in the same social circles. We did end up together at community college and, being people from a small town off at college where we knew almost nobody else, became better friends there. We have ALWAYS shamelessly flirted from the jump. Talking about taking each other out, joking about banging each other, but nothing ever happened. Eventually she moved off to a 4 year college to finish her bachelors and I moved to a different one. As fate would have it she ended up becoming very good friends with my best girl friend from high school and so thru her we stayed in touch long distance. We kept making plans to meet up in person and “hang out” and she continuously flaked on me, to the point where I was like alright well this isn’t going anywhere and deleted her off my socials and her number off my phone. But since she was still good friends with my best girl friend from high school, inevitably our paths would cross. I definitely went full petulant child on her. Like she would message me on FB or email and I’d never respond. If I was on the phone with my friend and she took the phone to talk to me I would hang up. (My friend thought this was hilarious.) This behavior went on for 2-3 years and she never stopped reaching out. Then one night we were both back in our hometown for the holidays, and thru our mutual friend ended up going out to the bar that night. I realized I couldn’t ignore her all night so I dropped the silent treatment shit, she apologized for flaking out on me all those times and I apologized for being stand off-ish and ignoring her. Within the hour we were right back to shamelessly flirting like we had those years before. Later that night while I was taking a piss in the men’s room at the bar she came walking in because she had to pee and the ladies room line was so long. I don’t know if she actually saw my dick or not, but she left the bathroom and started telling every girl that I had huge dick and she saw it and would vouch for it. She played a good wing girl and got me some attention from different girls that night. We bonded more over being left leaning liberals from a small town right wing hillbilly town all thru the first Trump term. Not long after that she started dating a guy and so our mutual flirting stopped. She married him. He had a little girl from a previous marriage so now she was a stepmother. The little girl’s birth mother was certified crazy and kidnapped the girl and fled the country with her, although she was eventually rescued after a few weeks. Understandably that was a highly stressful and volatile time for their marriage. She also developed health issues auto immune related that pretty much ended any social life for her. I’m fast forwarding now to late 2023 I think and the divorce finalized around that time. I hit her up jokingly asking if this means we can resume flirting again and she immediately said yes and the flirting continued off and on (but mostly off) for the next few months. In early 2024 I ironically posted something about playing FF7 ReBirth and she DM’ed me saying she was playing FF7 ReMake and couldn’t wait to play ReBirth. And that’s how we started chatting again on regular basis (and shameless flirting still). She lives in the central FL area and I live in the panhandle so it’s about a four hour drive, we keep talking about wanting to meet up either when she visits here or I visit there. The Halloween horror nights thing came up and that’s when I reached out and she agreed. And now here we are. Have fun with more speculation based on this new backstory.
