Hi. I posted earlier about
beginning casual dating in my 40's, without implying I was looking for a committed relationship. I have taken the advice I received and meeting people and interacting has been going well. I have had several situations in my social circles where I thought women were interested, but I seemed to let the window pass without knowing how to bring up the subject of taking it further. I've gotten the feedback that I'm something of a gentleman, and I suspect fear of offending someone is what has stopped me from "pulling the trigger." I have nudged the subject with a couple of women in my social circle, and the body language was there, but I didn't know how to take it to the next step and suggest an actual romantic/sexual encounter without being offensive. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to bring up the subject of romantic/sexual activity in an honest and honorable way, without being offensive.
Thank you for all the help.
