I had to run into Home Depot for a couple of small items, and having found one of them, a man turned to me and said "you look nice". I was dressed up a bit for HD, wearing a denim skirt, dark red tights, short black booties, and a grey sweater. I thought it was a cute outfit. I said thank you and walked on. He came up to me and said "what kind of project are you working on?", so I told him. I am 99.99% sure he wasn't being sarcastic or trying to make a point. I've never ever been complimented by a man when out as Joanie. Polite lady that I am, I asked him what he was working on, which turned out to be a shelf for his antique model trains. At that point I said "nice chatting with you" and walked on. I didn't want to lead him on or get into an uncomfortable situation. I felt both delighted that someone found me attractive, and a little bit of what I think GGs feel when approached by a male stranger -- "what's he up to?". I chose to take it as a nice guy who genuinely thought I looked OK, and was maybe flirting a little. I am not the most aware person -- my wife says she had to all but sit in my lap to get my attention when we first met. :-)
