When I was single, there were several women pursuing me at work. One fairly aggressively.
I haven't been single for 30 years. Thirty years ago, there were no dating apps; instead there were newspaper dating columns. That is how my wife and I met. Dating apps replaced the newspaper dating columns.
There was one case where a woman approached me at a laundromat. At the time my wife and I were dating, but not yet married, so I respectfully declined.
In one case, my former wife and I had just agreed to separate when a woman approached me in a tavern. I've written a yet-to-be-published story about it. Here is a preview link if you are interested:
