Well..I don't really know HOW to flirt, never did. I've known him for several years thru my art business, where he runs an office supply store. I saw him last night, where he is also working part time at Walmart. Checking me out, we engaged in friendly conversation, and he arranged my bags in my cart for me. I had to go get portfolio stuff this morning, and we again engaged in pleasant conversation as he helped me find all the stuff I needed. Talking about art, he showed me his photographs, and he is quite an excellent photographer. He even followed me to the door, continuing to talk about our mutual interests in Art, though there was a lady standing at the counter waiting for his assistance. I apologized to her, but he kept chatting away. He's divorced, by the way, and for a couple of years now. He even told me he is working the second job to pay off his debts which should be resolved soon. Nice fellow, and interesting to talk to. His photographs are scenes from WV, and I mentioned that I would like to drive up Coal River to photograph the huge mines which are going in up there...that (gasp!!!), maybe we could make the trip together! He replied in the affirmative, and I quickly rushed out! Arrrgghhh!

sounds like a taker... just flirt back a little maybe get a number and go out

Thanks all of you for your wonderful replies!
I can't sleep, and it's in the early a.m....not because of the flirt today...I just get my days and nights mixed up during my summer off from teaching, and I'm a bit anxious anticipating returning to work next week.
I really HAVE gotten myself out of the mindset of dating in the past few years....hibernating really. If a man really WOULD be flirting or expressing interest, I would have a hard time determining this. He may have just been enjoying our conversation. It was a genuinely mutually interesting give and take, and I haven't had such a face-to-face exchange with a man in several years. I do know he has to be quite a bit younger than me, though hard to tell his age.
I'm thinking this is a good basis for a friendship, and maybe even some photography outings, if I care to pursue it...maybe not! I just don't know right now. If I should run into him again soon, I'll wait to see if he brings it up!

Fate sometimes has a way of bringing people together...

Just hang in there, if he really likes you, you will know it soon enough... Menfolk are not the best at "subtle" hints

Take care

I think it's great. Even relating to him as a person and not just because he is a man is cool. If something develops from it, even cooler.

It sounds very healththy and exciting, Patty. Woohoo!
