spiderowl Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I am wondering how often guys do this? If I am out for an evening at a music event or something, sometimes a guy will come over to me and strike up a conversation. I don't know if this means the guy is attracted to me in some way or if some guys are just more sociable and do this wherever they go. I'm in my 50s now so it's nice that it still happens.

preraph Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hey, don't look a gift horse in the mouth! You have a charisma or it wouldn't be happening as much. He probably is attracted to you. He may have no idea how old you are.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
understand50 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I am wondering how often guys do this?

Spiderbowl, Sure all the the time. I make it a habit to try and engage a stranger, or someone who I do not know at least once a day. Now, I am married, and not on the make, but I have always felt that you are isolated when you let yourself be. Spiderbowl, I would do the same. Talk to guys, girls, old and young. Make it a habit. It is always amazing what comes out. Keep it on simple subject and see what happens. Mostly, not much, every once and a while a really good conversation comers out. My two cents, and I wish you luck...... Edited February 6, 2016 by understand50 Spelling......... 3 Link to post Share on other sites
WaitingForBardot Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I chat people up, women and men, all the time when I'm out and about. Like understand50 I'm not on the make, but sometimes I like and am attracted to the women I talk to. Just a couple of days ago I had a nice conversation with a woman at the coffee grinding station at the supermarket. We were waiting our turns so I just started talking. She was quite receptive and had I been single I would have tried to maneuver it into something more. As it was we had a nice chat and went on our separate ways. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'm a woman. I will talk to anybody in my proximity. Attraction doesn't play a part in it. however, if there was effort involved -- deliberately crossing a room to talk to them, then there may be attraction. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Guy Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hi spider bowl, as long as you are not giving them 'Come hither' looks nothing to worry about. As Peraph said you probably have that charisma or exude a quiet confidence which men find attractive. Why worry if it gets you welcome attention and doesn't turn into something unpleasant! Have fun while you're at it. By the way are you married? If that be the case your husband should worry! Chuckle. Link to post Share on other sites
JustGettingBy Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Music events are, usually, social by nature. These kinds of places are usually well open to having strangers approach each other. Link to post Share on other sites

basil67 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I will frequently talk to anyone of any gender. I'm not hitting on them, just being sociable. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I am quick to strike up a conversation with strangers - men and women alike. But apparently what I consider normal conversation and joking can be taken as flirting. So far no men have misunderstood... thank goodness but I had a date that raised hell over me talking with a waitress. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
