Sure hope there will be a sequel

A great start to a story!

I only hope that it is a true romance, without deviations or curly. In my present state of mind, I need happy stories more than sexual stories.

Thanks for a good job in this story.

5 * for you.

I apologize for my English (yet and forever), isn't my native language.

Great job, 5 Stars no doubt...

There better be a chapter 2...and 3...

Hmmm. How have I overlooked this author? On the basis of this little rendition, I will have to have a butchers at your catalogue. I like! It appeals to my peculiar sense of English humour and wit. *nods head sagely.

Liked this story a lot, and slow is good. I liked the development of both the sexual tension and the characters. I am looking forward to exploring your other contributions

I'm usually for slow buildup, I hate the single page 'full' rushed stories, but by the end of page one I was so bored I gave up. You also over use ... or ..

Fantastic!

Looking forward to reading more of your writing.

it was very reminiscent of my own "out of practice" time, when I reentered the dating scene in my mid-forties, with three teenaged kids from my then-recent divorce from a 23-year marriage.

You have to wonder a bit about him. Not athletic, calls himself a nerd, but totally inept with social media, hasn't been on a date for years, and by his own admission doesn't get out of the house much. What does she see in him that is of interest?

i hope to see ch.2 soon

definitely the most erotic masturbation scene I've read!

If I were Jack, I'd mention to Sadie that since it was so much fun at separate locations, how she would feel about rerunning the scenario in the same room sometime. I bet your description of what they actually see as they watch each other would be even greater than they imagined.

A 'nerd' that is so ineptly computer illiterate that he needs his 'jock' son to make basic things work for him?

Time to pull his nerd card.

He's a 'bookworm' not a nerd.

Is Sadie still a name? Isnt it from way back when??

rightbank: He's sweet and kind and unassuming and generally not an asshole, unlike her husband. Plus chemistry strikes where it wants to, and she's apparently in her "dirty thirties".

SimonO: This guy has face blindness (prosopagnosia), not just "memory problems". Like about 2% of the population, he can't recognize people by faces alone, even if he's seen them before. There is no treatment, but just having a diagnosis helps a lot.

Cannot wait to see what happens next!

It really a Loving Wife tale about the recovery from the divorce. I ended up under Sadie's spell.

Single dads are very popular in the youth sports world. A lot of things happen especially on tournament trips

Predictable, but not completely fulfilling. Did you do that purposefully, so that you could write chapter 2?

I rarely respond in comments sections, but these were technical things, so I am here.

Yes, this sets up chapter 2, 3, 4 and maybe more. I try to make that clear in introductions but it may not have been.

Sadie may be an older name but I liked it. It is kinda sassy, which she is. :)

And not all nerds are techno types. I actually teach doctoral students (definitely in the nerd category) and less than half of them are computer savvy types. The term nerd predates personal computers. A nerd is usually socially awkward and focused on scholarly types of things. That was the intent there. If nerd means something different now then I apologize for misusing a term and thus causing a stumbling block in the story.

I am not trying to debate anything as much as provide perspective and intent.

Thanks to all for reading and for commenting. Positive and negative reviews are all welcome as they just help me understand my audience and how to approach things, even if I don't adopt all suggestions. It has to work for me after all.

Good story. Five Stars.

It calls for more. Hope you continue it soon.

I so much enjoyed this story. Hopefully we all will get to enjoy the evolving relationship between Jack and Sadie. It is lovely to read the emotions of post separation dating nicely portrayed.

This was a fun story and I can see this naturally happening in real life, between a couple of people who have been burned yet live vicariously through the lives of their children. Clear 5* for me. You could leave the story like this, it is complete enough for readers to imagine the likely outcome, but I admit that it would be fun to see how they tackle the physical side of dating after being out of practice for so long. I can see you throwing in the complications of the divorce, the relationship with the soon-to-be-Ex, Sadie's daughter's reaction to this new relationship which threatens any possibility of reconciliation, possibly even reaction from Jack's ex- who may suddenly realize that Jack is finally seen as desirable by a rival. Yes, Simon, there is plenty of meat on this bone!

Was really hoping the story continued. You did a good job creating the characters only to end here.

One hopes there is more to come as you have managed to keep us all haging. Looking forward to the next installment.

Well thought out and written. It would be a shame to not carry this story further. Sadie's divorce, a first date, addressing the issues of the kids (are both Sadie's kid on board with the divorce, a deepening relationship, work issues and ultimately a relationship resolution.

Smart, funny, sexy, and I could really feel the sexual tension building. Great job. I was crushed to see that there isn't a second part to this story.

This was great! It deserves chapter 2...3?

I'm still hoping you will continue this. Great so far!

I read comments first, then the story. Enough were positive, to read story. Wish I had stuck with my usual principle of not starting a story that has continuing parts not yet written.

Without at least one more chapter, it is rated too high.

I have enjoyed your story but where is the rest of it? I suppose I could finish it in my mind but what would be the reason since it is your story! Are you going to finish it?

Take care.

I feel I remember a story like this one or maybe it is the same story where there is much more to the story. Am I right. Either way this story needs much more to it. PLEASE!!!

To answer the question, the last sentence of the story, No. I didn’t really care if Romance was the right category for this story. What I did care about was getting a definitive ending for this story, but it looks like that just ain’t gonna happen. Which is too bad because instead of a “meh, okay “ story, it could have been a great story. I’m just sayin’.
