I think she may be around in her early 50's. Ahem.Anyways, uh, she grabs my arm (The area of the arm: the upper arm, just around where it bends.), as I was passing by her, at the cafeteria at the college I attend. She put her fingers fully around the arm. I didn't resist, as I didn't want to hurt her feelings. I waited for her to let go. She did. But, very gently. She even smiled at me, during the act. Was it flirting? Or, was she just in the mood to feel my muscles?In advance, I appreciate your time.- Victor.

I don't have many friends who touch me. That is why I asked about the arm grabbing.
Plus, she does it on occasion. For example, if I'm around for long enough, and close enough, she'll grab. For at least 5 seconds. She then lets go. It wasn't just a one time assumption.

Sounds to me like
a. YOU WANT her to WANT you.
b. You know each other more now that you are single (how long has it been) and it’s just a comfort thing.
Personally if you are interested you need to approach her but it may be that you are reading into things and seeing things that aren’t there.
IF you tell me you aren’t interested in her that way, then you should ask her to NOT touch you as it upsets your boundaries.

However, ever since I'm single, she occasionally touches me.

And, that was before she did any touching.

She may be flirting and it' may like my flirting mean NOTHING...
I'm ahem in my early 50s (with a 38 yr old fiance so I get the whole ugly "cougar" thing... yuck... and there are some lovely young men I work with (late 20s early 30s) who I flirt with outrageously... (and yes my fiance knows i flirt... it's like breathing for me)....
If she is mentioning hubby and kids (although my kids are older than you so it's not like her kids are young I'm sure) then she's setting boundaries....
she may just be a flirt.... it's probably harmless.
if she makes you uncomfortable doing it you need to tell her however.

I think she was trying to get it in with a hotter and younger guy. If it were me, I'd be a little creeped out if some older woman at my university's cafeteria decided to randomly grab my arm and smile at me. Sounds like she was flirting, though.
