I am now 60, divorced, working to overcome my shyness & become ready to date again after 35 years out of the dating scene. And after so many years, I’m trying to remember HOW to flirt! I need all the practice I can get, but am having a difficult time even feeling comfortable looking a stranger (male) in the eye & smiling at him, much less saying hello.
So if you say 'hello' to someone, that's considered flirting??? Egads then I'm flirting with hundreds of people each day - guys included! - and I assure you I am not.
Flirting to me is more of a 'look' - the subtle stare while she's sitting in a certain position with a "sh*t eatin' grin" on her face (as grandma used to call it) while looking my way. That's flirting to me.
I think it’s because I don’t want to come across as pathetic or a dirty-old-woman to men who may be younger than I am…and it’s rare to find a man that seems to be my own age out there to flirt with.
Well you may not intend to come across as anything other than interested but you know how people's minds are. If he's a jack*ss, then he'll perceive you negatively; however if he's got half a personality (& I'm not so sure that guys in their 50's & 60's today have any!) he'll be receptive and flattered enough to talk.
My question is this….if you are more than 5 years younger than a woman who flirted with you, would you feel flattered? embarrassed? disgusted? Would some men laugh at her behind her back or even to her face? Any suggestions?
Flattered. Why wouldn't I be? Guys who p*ss and moan that anyone older than them are disgusting are stupid in my opinion. And since you asked for opinions, that's what I gave you about them.
But if I'm not attracted to her, I'll be polite in letting her know I have no interest.
