About being noticed by women, I've gone through the same thing in the past 6 months. I even had a new client flirt with me. I also wondered why this was happening. I didn't know if it was something to do with how women in their 40s put vibes out there, or if it was just that I was happily married for so long and never really took a long look at any other woman, but now I was.
I don't think it means anything along the lines of jumping back into the dating waters. It just means you're NOT dead.
