Last night when DH and I were out for a meal, DH was at the bar ordering when a man aged around 40, came over to my table and asked 'Are you dining alone?' I said 'no'. He said 'that's a pity' and gave me a lovely smile. I was very flattered and full of myself for the rest of the evening. Then this morning one of my neighbours, knowing it is my birthday soon asked, 'Is it your 70th?' I said 'no it bloody well isn't. I'm 66' 
To coin a totally new phrase - 'life's a rollacoasta babe'. Sorry I just got back from Essex - yes I am an Essex girl- it was babe everything!!
I too was called for pre exam by the nurse at Liverpool Eye Hospital and she went back into her colleague saying I was the wrong person because I didnt look my age. A real confidence booster and we all had a good laugh. Liverpudllian nurses....
Very warm and friendly. 
A friend turned up earlier who I told it was my birthday this week. He told me it was his soon and I asked how old he was (new friend so not got all his details yet, he's not filled the form in! ). He said he was 42 and I said I was 52, but added that I don't look my age. 
He took one look at me and said "yeah you do!" Exit one new friend.
