One of the few old chaps in today’s age

Well it might have been a first move indicating interest (unless you had a wedding ring on)

But really how very gentle and nice an approach.

I did have my wedding ring on. He was definitely not what one might say,
‘Trying it on.’ Just a dear old sole who obviously enjoyed bringing a smile to people’s faces.

I guess it's a sad fact of this world , or maybe of me but I confess I'd be thinking he might be a weirdo.
perhaps he should just have bought a couple of bunches and just randomly given them out if that's what he wanted to do.I'd be delighted to receive them in that instance, especially if I hadn't been 'Singled out'.

I was with my daughter a while ago in a small supermarket. We were discussing buying a bunch of flowers and that they were expensive. But we took them and out shopping to the till. When we got there we were told that a young man had already paid for them. He had left so we couldn’t thank him.
Paying it forward,
I was in a supermarket in a very deprived area. A family with a daughter were counting their pennies and told the girl that she had to pay for the treats she wanted to take to school for her friends.
I happily paid for her items. I tried to depart quickly but the mum was in tears.
