NSV that Ladies My Age can probably understand

I am in my late 40s, lost 130+ pounds over the last year and a really nice looking man hit on me yesterday. He was probably a couple of years younger then me, but in my age range for sure. I had to restrain myself from thanking him and giving him a kiss before sending him on his way... I did restrain myself but it made my day and then some! I was dressed conservatively, but smartly (nice black jeans, a calvin klein fitted jacket (thank you ross for less) and nice boots. It is not that I am dying to be hit on, it is more like I spent the rest of that day feeling really confident - like the way i looked, my demeanor attracted a person I considered desirable - like maybe for the first time in a very long time I am projecting the image of myself I want to project.

Good for you CowgirlJane!!!My husband is 7 years younger than me and I am so happy. Congrats!!

That is SO awesome! What a fun feeling.

Woo hoo you go cowgirl LOL

I totally understand how flattering that would be. I'm deeply in love and committed to my marriage, but I do remember the days when I'd get hit on more often and I miss the confidence that gives you :) I think I'd be sky high LOL

as a woman of 46, I can totally relate! meow!!!!

I don't think I've seen any pics of you! I've seen a few of your posts and can tell you are feeling confident. If love to see before and afters!!

But yay for that boost!!

Yay that's amazing!

AmyTug, I am not yet at goal but I am posting a few photos. I have had two people tell me that photos don't do me justice which was a nice compliment but what I think they REALLY meant was that I am obviously self conscious and don't stand proud in photos yet...

Guys will understand this too.

Being an "official old man" I have to say that when WE do this to a younger lady we all get laughed at or branded a dirty old man :)

Okay, just to be clear - he initiated conversation and gently touched my hair - I wasn't the dirty old woman here...lol.

My point really was that when you are noticed by someone that you find interesting, it feels like a compliment. As opposed to recently my friend and i walking down the street being followed by a man who bore a remarkable resemblance to Santa Clause - he was barking at us... who we soon noticed was missing pants (those were boxer shorts, not really shorts!) and was staggering drunk. THAT was NOT a compliment.

See the difference? LOL

Good for you CowgirlJane!!!My husband is 7 years younger than me and I am so happy. Congrats!!

My boyfriend is 7 years younger than me!

So, why DIDN'T you kiss him?

Ok my husband and several couples went out dancing and 2 men - strangers I might add- asked me to dance - that hasn't happened in a very long time!
