A female , anonymous writes:

Im 21 and a guy that i like is 31.

The problem is that he is a manager in one of the departments at my the store that i work at so he's not my manager.

But i have been developing feelings for him that i cant explain. Its freaking me out cuz i use to be sick with other girls who liked guys in there thirtys when the girl was only in her early 20s.

Anyway i talk to this guy about alot of stuff. He doesnt have a girlfriend. So he is safe to talk to.

I want to know how i can get his attention (i mean like flirting wise) I know how to flirt with guys around my age but with a guy a bit older im finding it hard to show that im interested and would like to get to know him outside of work.

When i like a guy around my age you they can tell straight out that i like them. But how do i show with a guy who is way older then me?

Any advice plz give!

Thank You,

And Happy Holidays!

xx-miss-cupid-xx agony auntHey x

Just act mature...do casual flirting, but not too teenage-style. Compliment him. Maybe when you get really close, ask him if he would like a drink.

Be yourself! Age difference doesn't have to be a bad thing...once you are over 20 ages don't matter as much anyway.

Good luck!

The most difficult thing for a bloke, is to actually be convinced themselves that a much younger woman is actually interested in them in the first place. If you flirt, he will probably think that you are just messing about, though he will enjoy it.

You just might have to make your interests very clear to him.

A female friend once told me, as men get older you practically have to sit on their face before they get the message!

i'm in a similar sittuation i'm 18 an my guy is 41 i know people think it's sick but were happy,however i got him by flirting with him the way i would with guys my age but a bit more subtle try an be interested in his hobbies and make sure that you will at some point see him at a certain time every day and that way he sort of expects to "bump" into you. I think older men are easier to talk to because thay don't have much mischief in them lol. Try and be mature but most importantly be yourself and if it's meant to be it will be good luck xxx

kenny agony aunthi there,

if you really want this guy to know you you like him, start off with some basic flirting, for instance try to get his eye contact and hold it till one of you looks away. touch him lightly on the arm. Be interested in what he did, or is doing at the weekend etc.

Im in a similar sort of situation at work, funnily enough the age gap is more or less the same as yours, she is 20 and i am 31, and we flirt all the time, we have been doing so for months now.

Don't rush anything, keep the flirting going and enjoy it.

Merry Christmas x

i think that you should flirt with him in the same way as you flirt with guys your age. forget about the age difference and act yourself. if he doesn't take it then hes not interested, have a go and see if it works out!
