Flirting

Am I being hit on or just confused? How’ to tell if an older woman’s actually interested or just being nice?

Hello, I’m a 21-year-old college student. When I was a kid, my family moved to another state. During that time, my parents got divorced, and this year my mother and I had to move back to the country where I was born and raised.

One evening, after hanging out with some friends, I came home and saw that one of my mom’s closest friends from years ago was visiting. I used to be really good friends with her son. My mom’s friend is in her late 40s. When she saw me, she hugged me, and we sat together in the living room. For a while she kept talking about how much I had grown and how I looked like a real man now. Eventually she told me that their house was being renovated and said I should come over one day to help out. Since my mom also told me to help, I agreed.

After we finished working on the renovations, we sat down to talk for a bit. When nobody else was in the room (because her son had gone out), she started talking to me in a more personal way. She reminded me how I used to be a troublemaker as a kid but said I was “old enough now.” Then she told me I was grown enough to “handle a woman” and asked me if I had ever done anything sexual with a girl before. She also said that some women hesitate to be with younger men, but she didn’t have those kinds of prejudices, and that she found younger men very cute. When I was about to leave, she told me that the renovation had been exhausting and that she was always looking for a strong man to give her massages.

A few days later we followed each other on Instagram, and she liked a few of my photos. Last night she messaged me and invited me over for coffee around 1 pm. The thing is, as far as I know, her son is at soccer practice at that time, meaning nobody else will be home.

Do you think I should go to her house? Is this woman hitting on me, or am I just confused? I really don't know what to do.
