I have to share this one because of all the forlorn posts I see from Cubs saying that they never have success flirting with Cougars in the wild...

Our local Covid restrictions are slowly relaxing so I thought I would reactivate my Bumble profile to meet some new friends.

I matched with a handsome young man and started a conversation. As we chatted I discovered that he’s a Barista at the Starbucks I frequent. Hard to tell since I’ve only ever seen him there with a mask, but I said “I’m pretty sure I’ve tried flirting with you a couple times.” He was floored. He’d never interpreted my actions as flirting with him, but he immediately knew who I was and said he thought I was attractive but never figured I’d be interested.

He definitely paid attention today when I got my latte!

So, I suggest that while most women who are nice to you likely are NOT flirting with you... some of us are! Don’t ignore it.
