i think i have an admirer. i think i have just been propositioned and ive responded in a really light hearted breezy way because im too thick to work out what people actually mean.....

dont get me wrong - im married - a long time married and not planning on any extra marital activities!

but i have been messaged by someone, and ive just responded all friendly like and now ive read the message again i think i have missed something....(like a brain cell or two)

do i just leave it light and breezy and pretend like i didnt have a clue what they actually meant?

still. nice to know i can still pull. life in the old girl yet.

I'd also probably stop contact of you're not interested.

sadwidow28 · 18/07/2012 20:53

Yes, pretend you didn't do the "re-read" of the message.

And if he texts again - ignore!!

Vicar, conversely, I think I propositioned someone today and had no idea what I'd said. Convo on the telephone today to a colleague who has been a little flirty over the weeks. Discussing something and he just said, "let me know what you think, I mean tell me what your thoughts are". I said, "do you really want to know what my thoughts are?" (said in a husky slow voice on account of a cold but may have been miscontrued as me trying to be seductive....Blush. He immediately said, "NO", finished the call and I could almost hear him running away.

Seriously, for your situation I would feel very pleased with myself and just act normally if he contacts again. You can deal with a put-off if he gets the wrong idea. Smile

Oh to be propositioned or do some propositioning! :)

MissFaversam · 18/07/2012 21:23

Who is he anyway?

MissFaversam · 18/07/2012 21:24

Id also be upfront and go show DH.

ThatVikRinA22 · 18/07/2012 22:24

lawks woman are you mad!!? im buggered if im showing DH.....he would just laugh anyway, or worse - raise one eyebrow.

no i shall just remain oblivious to the fact that i was chatted up. its quite nice though. DH is the most unsociable man on the planet. i took him out to meet my work mates, he never said a word. not one word. all night. I end up making excuses for him. He wont do anything with me! so i end up doing the whole social thing mostly alone. its not like im a party animal, not by a long shot!

i actually got 2 messages from blokes on the same night (stealth boast! Grin - only one has slight "i fancy a bit" overtones though. its fine.
i will remain oblivious. if it ever becomes more obvious than that i shall send him a shocked smiley and run a mile....

its just nice to know im not quite over the hill!

Vicar, are we married to the same person?

ThatVikRinA22 · 18/07/2012 22:26

oh - and he saw me at my best - dressed to kill.

he wouldnt be so keen if he could see me now sat in my polka dot brushed cotton pjs with my hair in a bun and no make up on! Grin

Mmm, vicar you have no idea how sexy that sounds to me Wink

ThatVikRinA22 · 18/07/2012 22:29

i hope not abitwobbly - i wouldnt subject you to mine! Grin

i love my dh tbh - we are an odd couple i guess to most people - but weve been together over 20 years. we are like a pair of old comfy slippers.

he has just never been very demonstrative or ever once said he thinks im attractive. ever. its just not him. but thats him. and i love him anyway!
i will take the odd flirtation in the spirit with which its intended!

Ahhh, it's nice to think you can still cut it when you have been married a long time. Someone was just on the flirtatious side of friendly with me this week (although out with lots of people in a work situation) and it was lovely. No harm in wondering what if I were ten years younger and much thinner on the odd occasion, as long as you don't go round seeking attention or giving out the wrong signals.

ThatVikRinA22 · 18/07/2012 22:36

Grin kitty

i think, that DH thinks, that if people knew how impossible i was to live with, they would run a mile.....

im not impossible obviously!!
im fairly easy going actually. i put up with a lot of stuff that i know alot of women moan about.
i could actually write a list.....Wink
but there you go. we are ying and yang. im outgoing and sociable and he is a miserable hermit!

Enjoy the flirting Vic.You deserve some diversion from your tough job,PIA DH and challenging DS.You are sensible enough to know the boundries so where's the harm?

ThatVikRinA22 · 19/07/2012 19:11

well i did show DH.....much to his amusement!
i now have messages from several men from a social event i went to a couple of weeks ago....quite funny really, as one is obviously a randy sod looking for some extra marital fun and games, one is needy and just gave me his (tragic) life story after one message, and today at work i got chatted up by Alfbert who is 90!

i am on a roll!! Grin Grin

i seem to attract them! i am a nutter magnet. (apart from Albert who was lovely! bless him!)
