That's it, I'm wearing a mask for ever more!

Just been on a train which was stationary for a while so started chatting to a nice young man aged mid/late 30s, I'm 55.
When we got to final stop, he asked me for my number and if I fancied going for a drink sometime Shock
He seemed genuinely shocked when I politely declined saying I was old enough to be his mother (and married)
So I've decided it's the bottom half of my face that's old so it will remain covered from now on Grin

Anyone who dares say its just because he's got a thing about older women will no longer be my friend Grin

I love my mask! I have lost count of the number of people I have successfully avoided because they didn't recognise me. (antisocial)

Massive sunglasses and a mask = my whole face covered, maybe I'll then be chatted up by a teenager Grin

I got asked for ID in Home Bargains a couple of months ago. I didn't have any on me so I pulled down my mask and she put the sale through Sad

Grin i agree, for those shy ones among us there is added bravado

@PivotPivotPivottt Oh, I didn't remove my mask, didnt want to shatter the illusion

I wonder how many people have regretted their flirting when they finally see their love interest without a mask?

you could wear a balaklava and look even younger!

I like your thinking @ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba
