Is he interested?

Namechanged of course

I'm at the end of a long marriage that has run its course and the kids are nearly grown up, one still at school. Within the next year we will sell our house and buy two smaller houses to live apart although I think we will still manage to co-parent and actually may get along better than now. DH wants to live abroad, he's retired and loves the sun. We don't plan to divorce but have not been close physically or emotionally for over a decade.

I've met this new young man and he is lovely! We talk often, several times a day. We meet less often but get on really well. He is loads and loads younger than me and we have lots in common. He is single. Made a big thing of telling me he is not gay!

I'm so out of practise with this stuff. Can I ask him if he wants to be more than friends? What do I do???

Ask him out for a drink, obviously!

OK I got that far but after that??

I mean we met already often, do I just need to say 'I'd love to be more than a friend'? Or what??

Do a bit of hair-flicking, leg-crossing and arm stroking. If he still doesn't get the hint, swig another drink and say "May I kiss you?"

Good luck!

Thanks, it's been a loooooooong time since I did this stuff!

And I kind of think he should ask ME. And I kind of think he thinks I'm too old!

I'm with Grace, keep the non verbal gestures flirty and hold his gaze, smile etc

Lean in....see what his reaction is, and then if he still doesn't get it is being shy, ask him if you can kiss him

I'm dying to know what happens!
