At first I thought it was just one woman, an extremely attractive young middle-eastern woman who works as a tech at my local pharmacy. It was immediately apparent the way she spoke to me, laughed - almost giggled in a bashful sort of way - as we exchanged pleasantries. I have never flirted or anything, just been as friendly as one would be with anyone in that position. And the giggles and smiles continue. Now all I have to do is show up and her eyes are twinkling.
The next is a girl working in grocery, a very intelligent, plain but pretty girl with glasses who noticed the t shirt I wad wearing two weeks ago and started a conversation over it. Since then, every time she sees me, she finds an excuse to stop me and talk, even though she is busy at work. She made a point of finding out my name and giving me hers.
There is a beautiful sales girl that drops by now and again at my work. The boss always says to take her card and send her away. But this last time she and I got into a long conversation and she seemed in no rush to leave. Of course, I had to get back to work. But I could have looked in her eyes all day.
I don't know. Is it my manner? Am I growing more handsome and distinguished at age 62? I don't know. Whatever it is, it is flattering and a shot in the ego to this old dude.
