Even with my Boho fashion sense I so often feel invisible. If you want to understand the sensation walk down a street as the local high school lets out. All the fluttering young ladies, young men in packs, the odd loners on the edges. But you are over fifty so basically invisible to them...unless you are their parent, teacher, or probation officer. They don't even look at you.

My job it's the same thing. Lots of customers my age and older. There are also many younger than my own children. But today was a customer out of the ordinary. Maybe sixty, possibly older, great looking and confident. He definitely still had a young man's swagger. There are a bunch of people around here who are retired actors...I wonder if he was a "somebody". But oh my goodness he was charming.

He made a joke that he was counting my freckles, oh he just loved freckles and redheads. Perhaps I have a bit of
the Irish in me? But wow...had me smiling for the rest of the afternoon:playful:
 

I've never really been a flirt with guys I don't know well. About the biggest flirt I've ever done was eye contact & only did that when I serious about it. Once a relationship had begun I would flirt with my boyfriend/husband , but not with strangers. It's kind of like when you're young you practically want to carry a baseball bat & then in the 'in between' I was married & now that I'm older I just don't care about meeting a man anymore. I think my flirty days have been behind me for a good while now.

LOL...good for you, fur! I remember that feeling, in fact the postmaster here.......oh never mind.
 

But really, it's comforting. Back in the day I mean quite a different thing. Now sometimes I have visions of " Widow's Weeds". Traditionally if a woman was widowed in Sicily she wore black and kept to herself. With hubby's illness...you consider that stuff sometimes. Then a stranger pops up and oh my goodness you remember.

Maybe dating late in life...foreplay is soaking your teeth together? Better yet a partner who doesn't give a rat's butt that you have a denture...everything else works just fine;)
 
oh I take it back. I forgot sometimes I flirt through poetry with this poet I know because it's a fun game and all BS. He's just honing his pen on me . He's written me some pretty hot stuff :D
 
It does feel good to get a compliment and attention now and then from nice guy. When it happens for me though, I don't flirt or encourage it since I met my husband over forty years ago. I figure flirting with no intention of following through with romance is just teasing, don't wanna go there, they may not want to back off. My husband and I still do playfully flirt with each other, and have a pretty good relationship in the romance department for being in our 60s. Hoping it'll continue for at least another 20 years. :cool:
 
They say flirting is a lost art. If done well, it can be great fun.. and harmless.. It's an ego boost to all involved. I used to love to flirt.. I no longer do. I'm not sure why.. it simply no longer appeals to me. I'd rather just talk and relate to men without any sexual connotation.
 
Funny in a sad way...hubby can barely get through our supermarket trips sometimes. But he can still goose me and say " Oh what I want to do to you". Really somebody who shakes and can barely hobble the store but they still want to get busy??? I give him a standing ovation...
