The most surprising thing to me in dating at my age (56) has been finding that (very) young men often come on to me. Now, I'm cute (I think) but really not that special - I need to lose twenty pounds, I've got crow's feet, I'm not exactly Demi Moore. Still, it seems to happen all the time.
Today I had to make a quick trip to my local Home Depot. When I bought my house last year, I spent a lot of time there, getting stuff to fix up my house. Once or twice a chatty young clerk helped me out, and he asked me if I might have a room to rent (I didn't, because I could lose my alimony if I "cohabit" with a man, and didn't feel like giving my ex any reason to stir things up).
So today, a year later, I go in and have to ask a clerk to help me find something - it turns out to be the same guy. I didn't recognize him, but he says "Oh, I remember you! You bought a house nearby that you were renovating". And he makes sure he gets my name. I swear to god - he was definitely flirting with me.
