Grown ups

Lindy — 5/11/2008 3:04:47 PM (archived)

We could start a whole new thread on courtship and romance. The man's POV is interesting.
It made me really think of the clues I got from a man that was interested in me, and to some point .....will be more observant in the future.

I used to get hit on all the time, so had a tendency to ignore all of it, especially when I was married. I guess I watched the body language, the smiles and the one-liners.
