It's a bit hard writing about yourself without coming across as being vain, self-indulgent or bloatedmy ego, that is. You see, lately, something changed in my life that caused other people, especially the opposite sex, to notice me in ways they never did before.

And although that's a good thing, I have the dilemma of not knowing what caused this sudden change. I am a young looking 50 years old Caucasian male, 6ft, about 180Lbs, in better than average shape and with shoulder-length wavy, dark brown hair. This is not a singles or 'pick-me-up' ad, so don't respond. My bio only serves to show you that I am an average guy.

For some unexplainable reason, the last year or so, men, but especially women seem to take a sudden and keen interest in me. Whether I am at the market, in a coffee line or just walking about, out of nowhere someone will give me a smile, say hi and start a casual chat. Suddenly, women of all ages seem to be attracted to me for reasons I can't understand.

Don't think I am not flattered by this new occurrence; I most certainly am. I just wish I could put my finger on what causes this seemingly over-night change. Although I am an attractive man, I don't think of myself as being overly handsome or good-looking. I don't wear expensive clothes and I don't drive a super-duper car. I am not getting it.

Most men reading this right now will probably say: 'Man, I wish I had that problem!' and probably consider me foolish to even bring this topic up. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying my new found 'status'. I just would like to know what caused this to happen.

As a young lad I can't remember this ever to be the case where women approached me. It was always the other way around and more often than not I got turned down. Throughout my life I had rarely, if ever, women pursue me. Always, it was I who had to do the hunting. And most of the time I had little or no success.

Yet lately all that changed inexplicably. There isn't a day that goes by without me being approached by women of all ages and all distinctions. In fact, even men seem to have taken a sudden interest in me. Although I prefer women, no offense, I am delighted by this change in 'recognition'. Still I am perplexed as to what is causing this attraction.

It leads me to wonder: 'What am I doing different? Am I behaving in a way I am consciously not aware of that causes this reaction? Has my chemistry been altered in some way'? I really would like to know. As much as I consider this a positive thing in my life I would like to find out the cause of it.

As much as I enjoy it, it also scares me: 'How do I respond? How do I behave? Should I take advantage of my newly found popularity? Is this occurrence temporarily? If so, how will I react there after'?

So, if you know anything about or have a similar experience to mine, I would like to hear from you. Maybe you can help me solve my dilemma. I certainly appreciate any input you can give me.
