Similar situation...neighbor's daughter actually, recently divorced. She's been sending me texts to chit-chat and on the one hand I want to go hangout with her but on the other hand I don't want her to misunderstand this. Like if she's thinking something more serious then it probably won't be good- do I tell her that I just want to be friends?
Unfortunatley, I'm also not good at being friends with women- I get attached too easily. Maybe TMI- I remember my previous ex-gf when I first met her I kept telling myself she's just a friend. Then we started hanging out quite a bit and I told her if she was OK just being friends and I remember still she smiled and said 'yeah we're just friends' - then a few weeks later it happened...you know what I mean. Afterwards we were both totally quiet and she broke the silence by smiling and saying 'just friends, right?' and we both busted out laughing. I miss that girl sometimes.
I miss STBXW too, the woman she was in the begining.
