Last night when DH and I were out for a meal, DH was at the bar ordering when a man aged around 40, came over to my table and asked 'Are you dining alone?' I said 'no'. He said 'that's a pity' and gave me a lovely smile. I was very flattered and full of myself for the rest of the evening. Then this morning one of my neighbours, knowing it is my birthday soon asked, 'Is it your 70th?' I said 'no it bloody well isn't. I'm 66' 
neighbour
Respect, KateK - you've obviously still got it!
Your neighbour probably needs to go to Specsavers.
KateK You've not lost it Kidda!
Oh I hope I didn't imply that I think I look great! I am always chuffed when something like the man chatting to me happens as, as mentioned on here on several occasions, I lost all my hair and have been through the mill. I now have a new hair system that's taken years off me. I'm not conceited honestly - just relieved!
Just wondering what your DH said:
'Can't leave her alone for five minutes' ? 
Cheeky neighbour, hasn't learned any tact
DH said 'He's probably one of those granny chasers'
No! He didn't did he?
Yes - but he was joking (I think/hope)
Handsome is as handsome does so lovely bloke and ugly neighbour.
My mother used to chat through the fence to the next door neighbour as people did in those days and came in pink and laughing. The neighbour had told her she must have been pretty once! She was very pretty at 70.
KatyK bet he was secretly chuffed!
Nannyjay Yes it is a bit of a confidence boost. I have very low self esteem so every little helps! 
for you. Stansgran I have always relied on Oil of Ulay too!!
