She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is (not) true.

Is this an extract from one of those crowd-sourced novels where each paragraph is added by a different author?

No it's all me, true story.

I'm seeing her next on Saturday.

[SpontaneousOrder]

Just sell her and buy yourself a new kitchen instead.

Yes perhaps but I think that time of my life has come and gone. My life is now too stable and apathetic, a daily treadmill to nowhere - so when something out of the ordinary comes up it shakes the foundations I thought were so safe and so right. She's come to work here, thinks what a nice home I have, what a comfortable life I have, looking at my beautiful kids playing in the garden, looking at my perfect life. I'm thinking I want to get out of here.

It's midday, the sun is shining. I offer her lunch, she refuses. I make it for her anyway and she eats. It's like no one's ever done anything for her.

I think the correct title is 'Mid-life Crisis'

Get over it before you do something inappropriate, wreck your marriage and shock this young girl with some sort of advance that is probably the furthest thing from her mind.

I hate to tell you, but she's probably thinking what a nice man you are, just like old uncle Joe or grandpa Schmit used to be, and that's it.

Trust me

It sounds like you have a story to tell us, Platypus. Perhaps one that we can all learn from.

Please do tell.

WHS

Don't forget to give her a Werther's Original every day.

Are you saying she's beyond help?

It seems she's fairly capable of helping herself.

[speling bee]

I doubt very much if she see's herself as someone who needs saving anyway. I would have thought she'd be quite offended to find out someone thought of her like that. I know I would.

Sounds like a fantasy to me. Which is fine as long as fantasy doesn't become obsession...

You say you have kids. Are you married?

Do you really want all that grief for the opportunity to feel like you've "saved" some poor unfortunate? Do you think a relationship based on her undying gratitude is either likely or likely to work out?

Sounds like very shaky ground to me...
