I told the truth to both The Older Man and The New Guy who Shushed Me. And both of them are still interested. The Older Man thanked me for my candor, told me of course he wanted to be friends, but he also thinks I am "very, very beautiful" and that if dinner ever suits me, then he would be interested.
And The New Guy wanted to talk about it. So he called me, then I avoided him for a day, then finally manned up and called him back. And we had a very nice chat. A perfectly reasonable, friendly talk about the latest in our lives and I didn't quite have the heart to mention the shushing, as he was so apologetic over whatever he did to make me feel unwelcome upon visiting. But he's still interested, and while we didn't make any plans to see each other, I do recognize that I did prop open the door a bit between us.
