LOL Rosario you crack me up!

"I love you dearly but"

Sounds like something I'd say. I think us gals worry about hurting feelings more than the guys. Not to say it's just a girl thing. The difference here is this lonely old man is a regular you've built a bond with and don't want to hurt his feelings. He isn't just an annoying patron. There is nothing wrong with being compassionate.

I think starting a potentially uncomfortable conversation with telling the person you care for him is thoughtful.

I too like being honest and believe it's all how you say it. I'd probably turn it onto myself more by saying, " You know I love talking to you, but I feel I'm neglecting my job. I don't want people to get mad because I'm talking and not paying attention to setting them right. It's nothing against you, but can we talk later."

No guy better ever ask me if his butt looks big!

Does my butt look big in this spandex?

yes. it is HUGE!!!!!

And this is what I fear, That perhaps he's NOT mature enough to handle the truth and may take it to heart and as an insult.
As an addition, he actually phone my house night before last on the pretext that he had heard there was going to be a "dance" at one of the venues I work. It happens to have the same name as the high school, so I suggested to him that that is probably where the "dance" was.
He then continued on to chit chat, but didn't have much of anything of any consequence to say. I suspect he was maybe trying to further our "friendship", but I'm not comfortable with that. For those that will say he's looking to me for a girlfriend, I will say that he's definitely not, and he also knows I'm in a committed relationship. Nor would I be interested in a man that could easily be my father. I've been very clear about my "marital status" with everyone. It's certainly no secret. His friend (he was actually his foster son many years ago) that he comes out with, however, does have a crush on me, of which I'm well aware and do my best to discourage without being rude or nasty or hurtful. I try my best to ignore it and treat him like anyone else. He (the foster son/friend) has not been forward with it and has said nothing. I just hope he gets over it soon.
I do worry that maybe the older man is perhaps trying to further the friendship for the benefit of his foster son/friend? I really don't know. It's really just speculation on my part, but I will say that I am definitely not interested. Very few people are invited further into my life and I'm very choosy about those that are.
Not that they are bad people, but given the circumstances.....

I've been waiting two days for someone to say that.
