It happens with a neighbor who lives by himself in a lovely home. He and I meet often when we walk our dogs. Understand, I am a married man, retired for a good many years; he is moving towardretirement himself. Always very friendly and mildly tactlle; we always seem to shake hands.
Not long ago in a gab fest among the men with plenty of beer (not my drink) he was his usual friendly self but as the evening went along he became super attentive and he was embracing me, inviting me to his home. If, when he is sober, he renews the invitation, I will accept.
Does he read me as being in favor of deep bonding between men? I hope so because I am, but I see in him a man who needs a non-judgmental sounding board for his very conservative views. I sense that he envies my openness. He has also had time to observe my life; I am a very devoted husband.
Often men who make such moves, IMHO, are a bit fumbling in their approaches, but I hope I can be the kind of man-friend he really needs.
Sex isn't always at the top of the agenda for all men. But all men need meaningful relationships with others.
