Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Normally I wouldn't ask about this, I'd call but there is a twist to this.
Yesterday at the post office I met, or I should say she me me, a lady. We chatted for 10 minutes outside and hit it off, we have similar views on politics and society. She gave me her phone number and asked that I call her today. I thought that was a bit forward but I'm an extreme introvert and she seems to be more extroverted.
She seems nice but here's the issue. She told me that that today she has to put her 20 year old cat to sleep and she started to get teary eyed and almost lost it. I fully understand this and that's the problem.
I think today may not be the best day for her to get together just to get to know each other after such an emotionally draining event. But maybe she needs someone to talk to, to be with, the loss of a pet can be devastating.
I feel bad for her but I may not be emotionally able to handle this. I never told anyone here but in mid January I had to put my dog to sleep. She was almost 18 years old and such a major part of my life especially since 2002 when my ex and I split up that it is hard to explain. I'm ok now but I don't know how I'll be being exposed to her grief. On the other hand she may need someone to be with and talk to.
I don't know what to do. Should I wait a few days or call today? I'll check back later to see what you think.
Thanks.
