Can this really happen?

Hi,
Yes, sure, no doubt: An old romance can be easily re-ignited.  In fact it's a very common situation...  It's like a camp fire.....  easier to re-start it than to sart it from scraches.....  You (both) can skip the introduction and the formalities.... and reach the advanced stages.... More often than not it's like adding petrol to a fire....   A reservation in a swankiest hotel means he is serious, that he respect you, cares about you, want you to feel comfortable, and that he is willing to "invest" in your relations....  He means business....  I'll bet 10:1, on any sum, that you'll fall in deep love within 2 hours....
Best regards,

Hopefully neither of you are married. This is not unusual and often things do work out for the best. Just remember that 33 years is a long time and neither you nor he is the same person.I would therefore suggest that you meet him before joining him at the hotel and then let your hearts take you from there. Good luck.

I am going to assume you both are not married and in relationships with other people.

First, I think it's definitely possible to re-kindle a romance. But it's also possible to want so much what WAS and not what really IS. The question is, what are you looking to get out of this encounter? Are you looking to rekindle the relationship or just have/make a physical connection?

As for the swanky hotel, is it possible the guy is short on money that he chose this hotel? Or do you think/did you give him the impression that you wanted to meet up (for a sexual encounter)?

I agree with the others that this can all go very well and you will go straight back to how things were, but i would once again like to be devils advocate and just say that memorys are not always how they appear. how many times have you had a fond memory of a type of food and after several years tried it once more and your tastes have changed, or rembered a favourite spot where you used to go and once you return over time relised that its all been changed? i just hope you are not holding on to memorys of a good time in your life and hoping this man will bring them back as things don't work that way.

things change and you must be prepared for that, although i'm sure you already are.

thats not saying things can't change for the better either!

hope you have a great night and even better future!!

good luck

Hello,

     Your story is a very nice story and it also happened to my father who is 85 years old now.  He had a girlfriend when he was in high school 66 years ago.  After my mom passed away and the lady's husband passed away, they starte writing each other.  After 66 years of not talking to each other, no letters or any communication of sorts, they met again and are presently living together at her house in California.  They are so happy together, she takes care of my dad, he has arthritis of both knees.  What a nice lady.  She said she does not mind caring for him because she loves him.  She is 2 years younger than my dad.

    So I think there are good possibilities between you and your childhood sweetheart.  Hopefully your story will end up just like my dad's.

Take care and have a nice life.
