If you do that, the need for fast decisions will complicate communication. Just focus on making a good first impression, ask about them and learn nonverbally if she is interested, and honestly answer any questions.

hi. ..u name. ..u from. and war u now

Always start with small talk so you can see if they can have any communication skills and see if they are responsive and a little flirty.

That was cute!

I don't really care as long as they don't ask for money or try to sell me something.

Unless I find them attractive.
The more attractive they are, the less I mind if they ask for money or try to sell me something. Sometimes that's more fun, as that means I can generally be increasingly inappropriate and see when their friendly facade slips.

"Hi, I'm a complete stranger. Want some candy?"

LOL

Okay, that's sounds a bit creepy and he just entered into the stalking territory with "I've seen you around town". Good thing he didn't say "I've seen you around your house" too.

Funny

A lot of old men do that. Several reasons why.
He thinks your attractive.
He is just being friendly.
He is looking to see if you are wearing a wedding ring.
He just wants to hold your hand.
He is just being friendly.
I worked for over 20 years with the elderly I pretty much know how they think.
I get a lot of elderly men coming up to me but most of them are only wanting to pay me a compliment. I don't push them away. You yourself will be old one day. They mean no harm. Take it as a compliment.

A bit hard to avoid on a dating site, although strangers are just friends in waiting..

In real life, when we meet someone new, we have less than a minute to start that initial contact and only a few minutes to turn that initial contact into an acquaintance you can follow up on later. An open, confident person will take a few minutes for small talk and share contact information if they have any interest. There usually is not a second chance so make the most of that initial greeting.

A little small talk can go a long wat, and you can definitely tell in the first 2 minutes whether someone is interested or not.

That's what they say, but I disagree with that. Your perception can get in the way, their personality can be misread or misunderstood, etc. You don't know someone well enough to judge their interest in a few minutes, at least not accurately.

Then again, some times it takes some people years to figure out they were never really interested in the first place.

Nowadays a compliment on your physical features is like a simple disrespect or harassment.. not all but most of the time specially for a woman. Also it depends on the person who is giving a compliment.
I would probably let him talk and assess his intention if malicious or not.

I actually enjoy it. its a turn on for a direct approach. I would flirt a little. If I was attracted? I might surprise his directness with a little directness also. always watching out but also enjoy the want in him. test him a bit. then I think its safer I would touch his hand maybe to show I'm aware of his thoughts. let him know maybe? later after some chat and learning about him. I blow his mind with a hug and a whisper I was a fantasy he wanted and would be open to all his wants, desires, needs to fulfil. probably let him use me in all things he doesn't get from home. make him happy is my want.see him totally at a level of excitement it can barely be contained. next 4 hours could be a life changer!but for sure he will never forget meeting me.

Ditto on that and a lot of elderly live alone so when they are out in public they like to strike up a conversation just for a moment of not feeling so alone.

If I were available, it would be nice to hear something like, "Hey, nice Vette! It that a '60? I used to have one." Something common to both people.




_______________________________________________________________

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body. But rather, it's to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaim ,"WOW-- what a ride!”

I don't flirt. If I'm out and a guy says he likes my eyes and I say thank you. A woman says to me that I'm wearing a nice shirt and I say thank you. It's the same. I think one time a guy was walking his his dog and told him it was a nice dog.

the first time is the worst because to approach lady in grocery shop is very risky. You don't know if she has already her man. the second problem is it is unlikely to meet again during shopping because too many people pass around.

i love it when women i don't even know, email me if they can practice full body massage with me, just for fun.
