writes:Holiday Advice Please!!!!I have just returned from a lovely cruise (alone) and on the dinner table was a nice man I could have gone for but he told me there was someone on the table he liked (it was me I know that) but he was reluctant to ask her out as he said if it went wrong then they would have to keep facing each other at the table each night-but I know he did go "out" with at least one other there!!!!I did fancy him like mad and I am sure he knew that by my reaction to him on occasions.When we all parted he gave me his e mail address and I( e mailed him todayI e mailed him today making sure it was polite and friendly but not too OTT and I got a reply back -same day-he too was polite and said it was nice to meet me also but he has NOT mentioned anything about a possible meet up in the UK IF possible.I am not asking him to move in with me-or marry me bla bla bla but it would be lovely to see him again-however in his e mail he didnt mentioned it but did put one kiss after his name-my friend says leave it now he MAY think about it and said he wouldnt have left his e mail he wouldnt have replied so quick etc if he didnt like meis it possible he might consider a meet up at some stage or completely not???Could I be more keener or NOT without frightening him off which I have done in my life before and do NOT want to make the same mistakesHe is aged 65 divorced and I am aged 58 divorcedThanks

People often put a kiss on the end of their names and it means nothing much. You've made contact so now leave it up to him to take it further if he wants to. In the meantime, try and get out a bit nearer home where if you meet someone you have a chance to get to know them. I hope you find someone really nice. Or better still, put yourself out there and he finds you.

If you fancy him then tell him you fancy him! What have you possibly got to lose? If you frighten him off then so what? You won't have lost anything. Look, at your age (and I'm nearer his age than yours) you can't afford to tread on tippy toes. Get in there before someone else gets their claws into him.
Just tell him you'd like to cook him a breakfast sometime soon. Unless he's got the intelligence of an amoeba he'll get the message and respond accordingly.
If it only lasts a few weeks or months you'll hopefully have enjoyed that time together and if it doesn't work out go on another cruise.
