To want to uninvite this man?

Odd that at times I get lonely but I do not start sending random texts to young men about films

He was being creepy he was flirting and you have given no indication that you are interested in him

Dont worry about his feelings as he certainly not concerned about yours and if you do not feel comfortable tell him that due to his over stepping boundaries you would rather he skipped the drinks at yours

I know exactly what you mean. I’m the same age. When this happens it’s like a combination of shock and mingled disgust and disappointment that a man that is way past old enough to know better is trying it on. And then I over analyze my every word, gesture, and expression to see if it was somehow my fault even though I know it wasn’t and he was just being delusional. It’s just such an uncomfortable and, well, icky feeling. Especially when they have children your age (or older! 😩).

But we don’t even know if it was creepy. At his age he may not even understand that someone can read more into an emoji.

I feel bad for him, he took his shot (maybe) and was unsuccessful, now just move on

I’m genuinely not trying to be rude but is there any chance he doesn’t know you have a partner and thinks you’re older than you are?

He might not know you’re 30 and assume he’s flirting with a 45 year old or something.

This is hilarious.
Why would he have no interacted socially in the last 20?? year? He was part of the walking club until 5 years ago so was presumably interacting socially then.
The fact you don't know what an emoji is and haven't socialised since your 40s is definately a you thing not an age thing

You are really over reacting here. Please don't uninvite him or tell other people in your walking group how you feel about him sending you a film recommendation you sound extremely full of yourself there is nothing in that message flirty at all. Maybe a bit random to have text you of you don't text but you had invited him to a get together so he was obviously being friendly. Some people are really weird

Don't be comforted by the age difference. Plenty of 60yr old men think women 30 years younger are very attracted to them and interpret kindness as a come on. Be ready. I'd reply saying thanks for the film recommendation and you and DP are planning to see it next week.

Even if it was flirty, why uninvite him. He might have been interested, expressed that, and you’ve reacted in a way to show you aren’t interested…that’s the end of it.

If he were to act weird or pushy etc then yeah you should disinvite him, but for now he just sent a wink emoji

Even if he is interested, you're not. He mentioned the Odyssey, not Emanuelle. No need to uninvite him but if if he makes further overtures, then you let him clearly know it's not welcome.

I think it is odd in that there has never been any other real communication on random topics ( you mentioned literally 2). But he wasnt inappropriate or out of order (eg not a dick pic, not sexual or racist language). So yes I wouldnt like that, but if he had been a woman of the same age, would you have minded so much? Ignore the emoji. It is a nightmare choosing the right one 🧐 this is apparently care. Looks like a ball with a monocle 🤗 this is hug.

So funny. I am #teambrenda as could easily do this myself , but the council reply was so polite.

Quite right. I have no idea what they all mean and if someone sends me an emoji I can't normally see the detail to know which one it is! I stick to thumbs up, laugh hysterically and occasionally heart. My adult son moans about his father's use of emojis, apparently my ex frequently uses an aubergine. Now, even I know that would be highly unsuitable to send to your child. Just why!!

Do you text 30 year old men at night telling them about the latest movie you’ve seen?
