A realtor showed me an apartment. He is a handsome man, older than me. While we were talking about the space and location I noticed he was holding strong eye contact with a smile. I took it as a sign of respect because other realtors I’ve been dealing with have not been so kind. While I was speaking he got curious and asked me my age because he said I looked adorable and young. I got a little flustered because I am attracted to him but it caught me offgaurd because I’ve never been called adorable by a man or anyone before.
If this was said in a dating context I’d be less curious but since this is a professional relationship it got me thinking and I am curious from the opinion of other older men.
