"Girly Advice Needed: Is He Flirting??"
| |
Hi All, I need some girly advice: Long story short, I reconnected with an old friend of mine – he and I go way back, to when we were toddlers (our parents grew up together since they were toddlers). Over the course of the last week or so, since I posted the head shot pics of me on facebook, he’s made a few comments, and I’m not sure if he’s flirting with me or just being friendly. I just need a girl’s perspective. Be honest! It’s not that I’m crushing on him, but rather I just want to ensure that I’m not getting my wires crossed here. What throws me off is that we haven’t spoken to each other in over 15 years, and then voila, after he sees my pic on FB, he’s starting to leave comments…I don't get subtlety all that well, so I really need another person's perspective. So what do you all think? Him: Office romance much?  (Hey you, what are you auditioning for?) Me: hah! I wish...I'm auditioning for a play called The Queens by Normand Chaurette, with a production company called Alumnae Theatre. It's amateur theatre, but still, it's my first audition in over 7 or 8 years. Him: Aha! Good luck then!  Me: Gotta ask: what was the office romance much comment all about? Not that I'm picky about what kinda romance I have Him: Awww hehehe... the office romance quip was inspired by the whole sultry secretary look in your new headshots Me: Damn! Nice Alliteration - Thanks Then, for my birthday he says: Happy Birthday! As a gift, I've sent you the office romance you wanted. He's tall, handsome and terribly grown up but not at all good with directions. He might get lost on the way. I'd like some cheesecake in return. Strawberry please. - Amal

I definitely agree with everyone else on the flirting. I read it and my first thought was "Oh my". Andrea in Sweet Home Alabama |

Because I've been out of the dating scene for so many, many years, I can't tell if he's flirting with you or just trying to be funny. I say keep the posts going and see where it takes you. Maybe the tall, dark and handsome "present" he was sending you was his way of saying he's the present ???!!! Best of luck with whatever happens. Nancy 326

Trust Seppies to come to the rescue! I finally figured out what was bothering me the most about his comment, not that he was flirting with me, but what do I say back? And I think Val et al. are right. He's being friendly; especially since you all caught on one little tidbit I seemed to have overlooked: "He's tall, handsome and terribly grown up" He's not tall at all! He's about 5'8 or so. So no. He's just being sweet and flirty, nothing more, nothing less. I think his attempt to flirt with me just emphasized at how unused I am to the concept. I used to be great at flirting, but now I just don't know what to say to him. How do I respond to that? I used to have tons of guy friends, so I could easily converse with them. But now, I barely have any, and I just get so tongue-tied around them. So here's my next question to you all: What would you say in response? I want to be equally funny and flirty back. And oh, for all of you who thinks I could hang out with him, lol, a little difficult since he lives in the U.K. - Amal Anyone who says they will only have one life to live must not know how to read a book |

"When I get Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome, you'll get your cheesecake" Amal, I have no great advice on this but to just enjoy the flirtatious banter. Go with it and enjoy! Ann in New Mexico |
