When a guy blushes after you call him sexy is that a good thing?

[Anonymous]

There is this guy I have a thing for and been flirty with him through out texts.

There is a bit of an age gap. He is 50 and I am 34.

After calling him sexy he says I made him blush. I guess that is a good thing?

I have asperger's syndrome, so I don't understand body language. I have a hard time understanding how *I* feel sometimes. But you're the one asking this question, huh? lol

Blushing, or a flushing of the cheeks, is a sign of interest. It means that the blood is rushing to his head, which results in pinkened cheeks. I shouldn't even have to describe it this way. I am an aspie and this is even common sense to me.

Did you simply post this because you wanted some kind of confirmation to make you feel better about yourself? I can't think of any other reason, but I doubt it was a conscious decision either way, so I don't mean to be so hard on you. You probably didn't see it that way, but there is no other reason it could have been posted that I can see.

Yeah I did. There was another aspect of the text that threw me off a bit.

He mentioned 'that's a far more pleasant text than the one I was expecting from my accountant. Now I am blushing again.

I went on about having the same intention he did before hand about us and just got a bit thrown off when I did not get a response about that but still get nicknames and compliments so I guess it seems fine.

[M_A_X]

Yeah, that sounds fine. He has no reason to be nice to you, does he?

[Asker]

No. It's been fine so far. :-).

Of course it is, he's flattered by your compliment. The age gap doesn't mean anything unless you want it to.

[Asker]

No the age gap doesn't. I mentioned this in an earlier text when he questioned me about it. It must have spun him out when I gave him my number at first.

But yeah we have just been sending texts to each other the last week.

I guess I bit of doubt kicked in when he said 'that was a far more pleasant text than the one I was expecting from my accountant lol after telling him I had the same intention he did with us. It kind of threw me for a bit.

[Asker]

Get nicknames and compliments every text, as he does with me. He was the one that text first after I gave him my number.

I mean he would not have sent me a text at all if he was not interested?

But yeah if he is giving me nicknames, complimenting me and feeling flattered which is cool.

Just have never been like this with someone with a bit of an age gap.

Little secret - he's lying, but good lying, solid gold flirting. There's no way he knows if he's blushing unless he lives in front of a mirror. Plus, blushing by it's very nature is an involuntary signal of intimidation, vulnerability and embarrassment - it's unnatural to inform someone you're doing it. Actually he's paying you a very high compliment in suggesting you have that kind of affect on him. He likes you, he's impressed by you and he's willing to keep flirting with you.
