[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are both married, and at this point I don't know the difference between flirting and propositioning - I have never (even when I was single) had any male attention to speak of, outside of my husband (and he is not exactly the doting type), so maybe I am reading too much into in.  He is direct about enjoying time with me when we do lunches, he stops in to chat regularly, texts a lot (lots of jokes) and is very excited that we are traveling together soon for work- even started planning some after work activities.

To the young singles reading this - enjoy single life.  I never had the opportunity (I was not attractive and very shy) to flirt and have fun, and it weighs on my mind. Hate having regrets, but wish I got some of this out of my system.[/quote]

I'm the PP who cut it off with my coworker and I have a similar wallflower background.  Try to channel some of that energy back into your marriage.  I never thought that would work but it has.  The attention is like a drug.  I used the flirtation as a jumping off point for health, beauty, and fashion changes that have gotten some attention from others, male and female.  Suddenly the crush withered.  I work in a highly intellectual job and it pains me that I'm so shallow, but after the age of 40 and after a couple kids it feels good to not be invisible anymore.

How did the crush wither? Your choice or his?

If he cooled it, were you upset/crushed?[/quote]

My choice, not sure it was mutual but I think there was some attraction, uptick in casual touching, compliments, visits.  He is not married.  I would have been mortified if he addressed the crush and said we had to cool it.[/quote]
