I'm nearly 38 years old and the thought of flirting terrifies me. I've been divorced for nearly 4 years. There's a shy man at my place of employment who has asked others about me, but seems to only manage small talk with me. How can I show my interest in an age appropriate way? I don't want to look like one of those hormonal teen girls...that would just be pathetic. I've tried the eye contact thing, but after that I'm at a loss. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Pianoguy has brought this up many times, but what's wrong with sending the man a "snail mail friendship card" with a short note inside? Don't pick out anything mushy. But a card with a little humor or a sincere message at the beginning is fine.

Include a short note that indicates how much you enjoy working with him. Then ask if he'd consider getting together for lunch with you sometime?

He'll have to provide some sort of response after he receives your card.

Find out what he's interested in. Ask him about it. Most people loveeeeeeeeee to talk about themselves and will have a mouthful to say. Ask for his expertise on something. Find excuses to say hello.


Start small and don't go over the top. You'll be fine. :o)
