The "new" old guy

My friend has been going to this bar for over the last year, with the people from her job. There she meet a guy that is a friend of her friends, that comes the bar every Friday night. He is loud, obnoxiuos and a little crazy (he fits right in, huh?) I meet him around the same time as she did, and though the first time I meet him I thought he wasn't her type, over time I have come to realize that yes he is. He is just the kind that would ft right in. Not only that he is in a relationship already with boocoos of kids running around where as her's are grown. He is exactly what she is attracted to, though not usually the cowboy type (his nickname is cowboy).

Anyways we have known Cowboy for over a year, and they have done the flirting back and forth, but on their best behaviour thing. Now they are starting to get in to the not on the best behaviour letting the other in thing and it is killing me. C'mon guys, we are not getting any younger! And by the time you guys work up to the normal dating part we are going to be in our 70's and too old to have any fun! So this weekend, he comes over and she cooks dinner for all of us. Of course when he first gets there we can all feel the tension inthe room because they are not quite comfortable and they are working up to it, so finally I am like I got to run to the store for um something, anything. I get out of there, knowing that when I get back it will all be ok (which it was.). I get back and the night goes great so I think. There they are these two 40 year old people flirting on the couch like teenagers making me sick.  She has to walk him outside so they can make out. I mean it is so cute. The age of the flirting does not matter. It all resorts back ot teens when you are in love, infatuated, or whatever this is going on! By the time he left, I was gagging on the sticky sweet going on in the house.

Of course, just because it oes good means jack shit to her. The whole next day she is all panicky because what if we scared him off. First of all if we scared him off, I would hate for him to meet the rest of the "family" because they would scare him off and give him a heartattack. Secondly, if we scared him off it is better to know now, before she got even more attached and got hurt worse. I guess we will have to wait and see.
