Cac4 replied to and added. what is with H and younger women that they just seem to latch onto him in that fashion and constantly hit on him?
...Nothing ever seems to happen like that to me... Cac4 {snort!!} ya. me neither!
Lil and some other posters said I probably don't notice some people that are being friendly, so I have been particularly observant of what does and doesn't go on, when I am in public.
Hardware or any store setting: I usually wear a light blue shirt so maybe I look like the help. People ask me for directions to something they want. If I am standing by an item that they want, some ask for advice. My take is, I think a lot of people give and ask for opinions.
If someone is looking at something I am looking at or thinking about buying, I chat with the person. In a check out line, it doesn’t take much for me to see something someone else has in common with me by observing what they buy.
Female sales clerks and office workers are friendly. Some joke a bit but I don’t consider that activity flirting with me. I usually see their actions as friendly, just making the situation pleasant for all involved.
When I was a service manager in a small garage, I had one customer come to me and said she needed to be checked all over from head to toe. I didn’t know this ~25 yr old woman that well so started to ask automotive type questions. A week later I saw the woman’s aunt and we did the small talk.
The aunt said her niece always had trouble going to the garage because the guys hit on her. I told the aunt about what the niece had said a week earlier, the wanting to be checked over from head to toe. I asked the aunt if the niece knew she came across as a flirt. The aunt said the niece thought she was totally innocent of leading anyone on.
My point is what is flirting to one person is just trying to be social to another person.
So Cac4, Maybe people do flirt a little, in a friendly way. Make believe people show interest in what you are doing. You might see something that does matter in some little way.
