Good for you!!!
In a similar vein, I've just very recently noticed that attention I've begun receiving recently may actually be flirting!
I've been entirely alone for almost 25 years, and to me that spoke loudly the term "UNWANTED!".
But in 25 years I've become one of the few breathing (and even healthy, if my disability can be ignored), mid-sixties men with all my hair, and a BMI of less than "morbidly obese". In this small, rural, deep south "village", it seems that is a very rare (bordering on unique) combination.
I'm not sure where it goes (or even if I want it to), but I can't deny it's interesting....
Thank you, Christina! You're my new hero!
