Can't believe I'm posting this...

About a month ago, I (41M) was chatting with a good friend of mine and talking about planning a trip for Spring 2026. He mentioned that his aunt had been many times and may have recommendations. He spoke to her and she said she was thrilled to help out. She and I started conversing over text, just vacation recommendations at first. She is around 62 or 63 by the way. As our conversations continued, we had some laughs and she's been really sweet and helpful. Then I met her in person at a post-Christmas get together. It was an instant crush. A lot more beautiful than I imagined. I feel crazy for posting this because it feels like I am a teenager again. I can't say anything to anyone involved so here I am getting it off my chest.
