Oh Foxy, what a lovely thing to say about your wife.
She is a lucky girl.

I used to chat to a neighbour when out with the dog or working in the garden, I was friendly with his wife too.
He told me all kinds of confidences, he had various health issues. His wife worked nights and he said he would like a friend to take out for the occasional meal. I said no that would be overstepping the line of friendship (because he was married).
As I said it takes two..
The OP says he is separated we don't know any different so I see nothing wrong with him wanting a friend.

I agree Meg.
'Ere, what's going on here? I always seem to be agreeing.
People will think I'm creeping.

Out of respect for all the good times me and Mrs Fox have enjoyed, if we separated it would be a very long time before I would want to engage in a friendship with anyone else.
Strikes me that Devon is very shallow.....From one love to the next....

I have no amorous intentions towards her but would like to know her more as a friend (and no more).
I am, however, a bit hesitant about inviting her for a drink or whatever in case she just sees me as some newly single bloke suddenly on the make.
How do I make the approach without giving the wrong idea?
Be direct and honest. It can't hurt.
