I have found myself in a situation I haven't been in for a while.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

One of my neighbors seem to be showing interest in me.

I've been burned so many times that I'm a piece of toast. So I'm not really in the market for romance. I'm keeping my distance, but he is showing signs of being the patience and persistent type.

I don't know what he sees that he likes. I'm like a beat up old truck anymore. And I really don't know how to handle this. Been thinking about this for the last week, thinking that he was just being neighborly. But he asked me out today. Told him I'll think about it.

Maybe that was a turnoff, but I'll know if he asks me again.

1. Try being friends first.

Getting to know someone before, "going out" can do wonders.

Take a walk, hang out and have a cup of coffee, it goes well with toast...

Be safe lfr.

2. Coffee is good, walking not so much.

I can't really walk anymore. That is why I can't understand why he is interested.

3. There is a lid for every pot.

I'm proof. Didn't meet the love of my life until I reached my mid 60s. I had given up.

4. All women are beautiful.

Each in her own way. If he asks you out, he sees something in you he likes, something you may not be aware of. Something he finds attractive. Give him a chance. Give love a chance.

5. Are YOU interested is the more important question. Don't approach it from his needs...

First, do it from yours
Think about it, yes. But don’t overthink it to either of your detriments.
Breathe.

6. If he is republican tell him hell no...

Check his facebook or twitter and see what he post.

7. What he sees in you

Maybe he sees a kind, compassionate person. Maybe he sees the real you. Don't put yourself down like that.
Also, allow yourself to be his friend, even if nothing else. We learn a lot about ourselves and others through our personal relationships.
