I met an older guy and we are very attracted to each other. He is 61. He had not made a move so I figured he didn't realize my age. I finally told him I'm in my 50s and he genuinely seemed surprised. I am his client. He has complimented me on my appearance (once before I told him my age and then right after) We smile really big at each other and (it was a little much) but I caught him looking at my chest and looking me up and down when I was saying good bye. It felt like he was going to hug me or something. I told him I'll be in touch in a week or two and I plan to be (as a client). I would definitely prefer he ask me out. I don't think I've ever asked a man out in my life. Any advice would be appreciated.

Yeah. Don't. You have a business relationship with him as a client (for whatever). His employer likely has rules forbidding relationships with clients.

As a client could you ask him to discuss some of your business over a cup of afternoon coffee?
I'm not shy in that regard, I'd ask a guy for a casual meet if I were interested. It's just as scary for them to ask as it is for you to ask, take a chance, the worst that can happen is he turns you down.

I am his client, he owns the business. Thank you.

Business OR pleasure… not both. Make a choice.

Do you know for certain if he's for single that's the first thing?
Some kind of work thing, l dunno, depends on the situation l spose but it wouldn't stop me if l was very keen on someone v special , and it must happen everyday so, yaknow.
l suppose things especially for you might feel a bit awkward though from there if he declined, something to weigh up.
Apart from any of that stuff though if your ok with it, only if you felt it could really be something v special then why not. As for leading if he was really keen you being a client would probably hold him back so in this case a bit of a nudge from you could be needed.

What if he was checking you out but is already married or in a relationship? Would you respect him then? What if he was unattractive but flirting with you in a professional setting? What if this is a normal pattern on his part, where he looks most women up and down, for his own entertainment WHILE WORKING? These situations show big red flags on his part.

Don’t ask him out. Don’t accept an invitation. He has already crossed the line. Yuck.

I'm pretty sure he's single. I would think he's gross if he was with someone. I wouldn't say he started the flirting. One day we were just smiling really big at each other and I was surprised I even liked him. I remember thinking "what is going here?" when we were looking at each other that day. He is normally a little blunt (as am I) but we've been exceptionally nice to each other ever since.

I would like more of a focus on me, rather than my boobs lol. I think men have that instinct though, to focus sexually first. I'm not going to ask him. If he's a man, focused on sex, he can lead and be the man that way too.

I have seen him interact with other female clients and he did not look them up and down like that. He's actually very professional, very good at his work etc. He may not have had a mutual attraction to those ladies though. (to be fair)

Has he asked if they're real?
