Attention from opposite sex..I'm clueless

  • Popular Post

After years of being invisible to men. I'm not quite sure what to think about attention I get now. I am happily married and not looking. I am baffled that men even look at me. I have my wedding ring on. What is going on????

A younger man asked if he could pay for my groceries. I told him that was sweet but no... I have it...He was fine and smiled and went on his way.

A month later I had two younger men in front of me in a grocery store check out. They insisted on buying my groceries. They would not take no for an answer. I brought home a free dinner for me and my husband. Is this a new way to pick up women that I am clueless about?

Holiday's I was at a sports pub for a drink. Bar tender asked for my ID. (I'm an old chick) I said..I'm a grand ma and you want my ID? He laughed and said he wanted to know if I was close to his age. My drink arrived and he paid for it. ..Again I'm clueless.

I guess I should be flattered about the attention. I'm so used to being invisible that I don't pick up on what the motivation is from men sometimes...laughing at myself. I'm clueless.

Does the attention seem a bit amplified because I'm not used to it? Does it mellow out and go away?

I have to say, I am only 20 years old, but I've never gotten any attention from men... my whole life.

I'm kind of nervous how I will deal with the attention later (just had surgery)

If a guy flirts with me... and I like him... no idea what to do.

If a guy flirts with me... and I don't like him... still no idea how to turn someone down. I've never had it!

But I'm more excited than nervous for this!
