[quote=Anonymous]As a middle-aged guy, I would say that you have to ask. I've seen and been around a number of other middle-aged women who feel that offers of help are insulting and an implication that need help doing things that you have been taking care of by yourself for years and years. Many guys who get back on the dating merry-go-round the second time get a little gun-shy when they are shut down for things that we consider to be chivalrous but women consider to be condescending or misogynistic. So, then the guys end up being polite but not offering to do things and wait to be asked so as not to offend accidentally. So, I think it is perfectly fine to ask. He may want to help, but have been afraid to offer as he might be afraid to give slight where none was intended. So, you ask politely and he will probably accept politely.[/quote]
