writes: What could it mean if a older guy seems to like an older woman (me), smiles, warm, comfortable, teases me, occasionally playfully touches me in a non sexual way etc, but occasionally refers to attractive women he would like to be with who are much too young for him. He is newly divorced and we just work together. Could he just be being unrealistic, dreaming, or could he be trying to see my reaction to see if I am jealous?Why would a guy do this fellas?

reader, anonymous, writes (16 August 2006): Dear, I hope you don't mind another women's perspective here. This is a newly divorced, older guy who is simply enjoying his newfound freedom and exploring the dating 'arena'. I think he just wants to play the field and he's acting a bit 'macho'. While he seems like a nice, fun sorta guy to be around, he really is just having a good time and he's checking out 'all' women...young and old alike. It sounds like he might need a bit of validation that he is attractive to women. If he's looking to date though, he needs to remember, women are experts in sensing who the real man under the surface and the 'casanova/ macho act could be a turn off for many. Added to that, some newly divorced men have a challenging time, committing to a long-term, quality relationship. Just discriminate what he is really doing here. If he was truely into 'only' you-he wouldn't be referring to other attractive man. So, if you are thinking he's a potential man to date, that would be okay as long as you don't take it all too seriously, for now. I'd just laugh along at his comments and enjoy the friendship. Good luck
