Is this flirting?

[gelatodipistacchio]

I know that I sound like I'm about 13, but I haven't interacted with hardly anyone new in about a year, plus I've not dated in over 10 years (recently divorced).

I was on a video call with a man whom I've been working with recently. We are a similar age. He scolded me for not noticing his haircut (?!?)

If it's not flirting, I think it's a bit familiar and socially awkward?

I don’t think that is necessarily flirting.

Did you want it to be?

I wouldn't think it's flirting? Just a jokey comment

Is he fit?

Also, what did you reply?

@PurpleDaisies maybe I did? I feel very old and unattractive. Washed up, really. It surprised me a bit, though, and I realised that I would not even know it if someone tried to flirt with me

Is that the only thing? Sounds like a joke to me.

Cross post, sorry! I'm sure you're not washed up or unattractive at all

@Susannahmoody he is fit. I made it kind of a joke and congratulated him on managing to get an appointment for a haircut.

Now I feel a bit silly. It is so benign and I've blown it up probably because of being starved for social interaction for so long!

Something that would likely be said in our 'chat' part of the Team meeting.
People have just been able to get hair cuts over the last couple of weeks after looking a mess for ages, so it is a 'light' thing to mention when you are all just chatting before (or after) the business part of a meeting.

If no-one noticed your haircut, then it would be a slightly jokey / light thing to say.
Nothing to do with sexual attraction and everything to do with just normal interaction between colleagues.

Is there a big age gap between you op? If you don't mind me asking, what age group are you? There's a reason for my asking.

@Skyatsky this is right in the OP! We are similar ages

What age range are you in op?

I'm in my early 40s. Why?

How is he usually? Any past flirting? Can you connect the dots?
