"I'd like to hold you right now."- "I am in my mid-30s and have been without a man for about 10 years. What was I supposed to say to his words?"

When I realized that it had been a long time since I had contact with a real man, I had become neglectful in many areas. But I am old enough to know that I can't fall in love with someone just to be swept away. I thought so, but the younger guy who lives in the next room appeared in front of me...? Can't I miss this encounter?
