From your description, it seems like both of you are interested. I guess your next step is to ascertain whether he's married or not. Maybe ask something innocent like, "hows the family?" or more to the point, "how's the wife and kids these days?" I think you get the point across that you're interested without pushing too hard, and you are definitely feeling out the marriage status.

I'm getting divorce after 30+ years and finding that it's a pretty cold world. If you see something you want, go after it. Time's a wasting.

Good luck

If I learned anything through the whole process of re-entering the dating game, if you see something you want, go after it.

Frankly, if you have the personality for it, the direct approach can be very rewarding. You could just ask if he's married. If yes, then you have the question answered. If know, the logical follow-up is to ask if he'd like to get together for ? (coffee, drinks, dinner...)

Personally I like women who are direct. It saves a whole lot of time. At the end of the day, what do you have to lose?

I'm just as lost as you on "reading" men.

It's the waiting that's driving me nuts.
