Just for clarity, I never said that girl was 17 and I've got no idea about her real age (yet). I threw out the 17-21 range as a random guess based on the clothes she was wearing more than her physical appearance/sexual maturity but if I had known randomly using the number 17 was going to cause this much aggro I would've said 24-30 LOL
I don't get attracted to females based on how young or old they look as it's "chemistry" that always gets me into relationships but I recently came out of a 15 year monogamous marriage so I'm not really sure how to handle women anymore or how to read the right signals. I see the girl this post was about every few days in my local store and we keep looking at each other (for longer than is normal) so I'm 99% sure we are attracted to each other sexually but I'm too scared to make the first move because I know for sure I'm much older than her so it's me that will get in trouble if I'm misreading the signs. I bumped into her again today in the queue to the tills and again there was some sort of energy between us that's hard to explain so I waited outside (discreetly in my car) just to see what she was driving or if she was dropped off by a boyfriend/parent etc. As it happens...she was driving herself in a newish plate 3 series beemer so she's definitely not a child or a minor so I think I'm now safe from a kiddy-fiddler accusation but her age is undecided atm. She is older than she looks that's for sure but it's hard to figure out female age just based on looks. I'll update this thread if things progress and I take a chance on talking to this girl/woman.
