Long time lurker, first time poster. I (30f) met him (50m) by total coincedence. Think "wrong place, right time." I was miserable with my job and struggling with doing adulthood totally alone. We worked closely for long hours and then parted ways and have just recently gotten in touch again.

It sounds insane, but it was sparks the first time we touched. It was just a friendly, platonic gesture, but lord, did I feel electric all over. I've literally never felt that way with anyone else, including past partners.

I'm a total introvert -- someone who prefers to people watch than be in the midst of it -- and yet being around him made me bolder. More confident. Just having him in the same room improved my mood.

Our conversations have gotten much more casual and a little more intimate, and they literally leave me blushing. I just got off of the phone with him and my face is on fire. Literally all he did was listen to my problems and make me laugh and I'm giggling like a schoolgirl.

I haven't felt this way since I was a literal teenager. Is this normal? Have I totally lost the plot?
