Was this 70 year-old man flirting with me?

[Anonymous]

I want to know if he was just being nice and happy to be in a young woman's presence, or if he was "trying" something? I don't have a problem with him but I should know.

I noticed: he was very lively and animated when seeing me, he seemed happy. He went out of his way to help me with some things professionally and seemed impressed with my current project. He also boasted about his past projects and seemed very happy when I showed interest in them. Kind of boasted about it and tried to be a bit macho in that moment. Noticed that in his body language and "preening behaviour".

He laughed quite a lot and for longer than necessary, he also made me laugh on purpose a few times and used "youth slang" in a funny way. He doesn't smile that often so this stood out to me. There was intense and unwavering eye contact. Several times, he stood quite close to me. A few times he was almost touching my hand with his.

In general, he was very kind, empathetic, patient, fun and asked several questions. I guess he finds me an interesting person. When someone else tried to butt in, he didn't let them. He mentioned me being a woman a few times but not in a creepy way. I was surprised by all this because he seems rather closed off with people, but I guess with the ones he likes, he's nice. I just wasn't expecting him to be so animated.

When we said goodbye, he seemed to make it clear that we can meet up again professionally, which I hadn't expected as that would actually be a big help.

I'm 28 and he's at least 70, do men of this age flirt as a means of communication or are there some who actually try to get somewhere with it? This has never happened to me before so I'm not sure if these are his "fatherly" feelings towards me, though I don't have the feeling he views me as a child.

You don’t think a seventy year-old man doesn’t have feelings and desires he’s not that old people live longer nowadays into their 90s some over 100. 70 its not that old where you put them out to pasture and wait for him to die he has feelings yeah he probably does like you in a different way. You don’t think 70-year-old guys can’t have sex? They can and look at all the special pills they make now a days to help people that have problems. I’m not saying he wants to bed you down but don’t rule it out that he doesn’t like you in another way

[Asker]

I'm sure he's attracted to me, that's not the issue. The question is if he's actually trying for something to happen for real, because that would be an entirely different topic than just a teasing flirt because he feels like it.

[Iron_Man]

I have no idea time will tell you’ll have to just back it down

[Coolhand669]

I would have to say as an older male I find younger girls very attractive but depends on the age and these days it can be hard to tell how old a woman is but also it’s makes an older male feel good to help and share and empathize with a younger woman also it helps their own confidence that they are still alive and possibly attractive I can’t say from my pint of view that you are viewed as a child but yet as a younger woman possibly a daughter type at some point but not always if a relationship was to incur I would have to say definitely not!

[Asker]

I don't think he would ever view me as relationship-material, for that I truly am too young and could literally be his child. But that he has sympathies for me and shows it that way is actually just good for me. If he were to show anything more in the future I would have to think about how to act but I don't think that'll happen.

I enjoy the company of an older man, a kind of father figure. I have dated many older men, they are so much better than younger men. I give myself up to older men. They have so much more experience than younger men and older men are more willing to lick my pussy too. And I love feeling their warm wet tongue sliding over my pussy lips and seeking out my sensitive clit.

[dustybiker]

My guess is that he’s lonely to some degree. He made contact with you and it makes him happy he still has the ability to get a young woman's attention, even if just being overly friendly.

[Asker]

Yeah I also thought so, and I honestly didn't find his flirting creepy. I just would need to know if he could be hoping for something to happen so that I know what to look out for in the future.

[RavVid]

Most likely he is enjoying the company of a young woman he likes and is inclined to mentor you if he has a lot more experience than you in your field.

I think you should take it that way. I doubt he would be trying to get you into bed.

[Asker]

Yes I guess it's like that! Wasn't sure if there is anything to worry about but now with distance I think that it's simply a nice gesture of sympathy but it doesn't mean he's trying to get weird about it. It's nice to know he seems to like me and if we can be in friendly contact, that great. Also, it's not like he really touched me, it was just an "almost-touch". So it doesn't seem like he's trying to go too far.

[AviatorTom]

Sounds like he was flirting with you. But remember this... flirting does not necessarily mean he wants to have sex with you. It's a fun thing to do, makes him feel young, and you should take it as a compliment.

[Asker]

Yeah now I think it's nothing to take overly seriously. It IS a compliment that he paid me so much attention but that he didn't cross the boundaries for real. I guess he likes me and finds me attractive as a natural reaction, but he's not acting on it as that would be dumb in that situation and also he's not the kind of person to mindlessly run after girls he finds hot. So I think in this case, I'm on the safe side and I can continue contacting him without risking any kind of escalation.

[Guy13]

Some people are flirts by nature. He’s 70…pribsbly not a big deal.

[Guy13]

I have to confess my Dad was/is one of those. He has more white and thick grey hair, still thick like a farm boy, sings well, and with means. His other positions in life got him a few “groupie” and he is absolute in his confidence. Was your guy like that or was he a little more creepy ⁉️

[Asker]

No he wasn't creepy :) as I said, it simply caught me by surprise. He's in a high position and well regarded. I think he's well liked, but not very good looking, so I'm not sure he has groupies.

[Guy13]

This guy and my Dad ought to do the 🍸 🍸🍸 🫒 bar together.. I’m glad he did not freak you out. I worry about that with my dad…he was caught once in 30s. Habits die hard…. If you look at them and treat them like Grandpa then it blows up nicely…
🙃🙃. Good luck 🍀 with the old guys 😎

[Asker]

Thanks !

[Guy13]

It's been a pleasure. Hey did you dislike?

[Asker]

No? I'm new here, if I did something weird it's because I have no clue how this all works.

[Guy13]

It looks like you did. Can you go to my first post and Like it instead of dislike it. Should be red heart emoji.

[NottaNatty]

Hard to say I'm a quarter that age but He might just naturally have a flirty charismatic aditude. If you really want to know maybe ask other people who know him if that's just how he is.🤷

[20yearsolder]

Yes meant his age do flirt, was he flirting with you? I don't believe so

[Onashir]

It seems like there is chemistry between you too. look at this way

do u think he is attractive?
Do u know you are making all older man wish come through

and he might be most experienced lover u have yet had.

[Avicenna]

he's not flirting with you with romance in mind

[Asker]

So you think simply for fun?

[Anonymous]
