Discussion Is it that time already?

I just turned 40. I went to a new gym last night and did a class. After the class, the coach (who could have been anywhere like 25 to early 30s) was super nice and chatty and asked me about my fitness goals. I said "well, I just turned 40..." and was about to talk about how I want to ramp up my fitness to honor the milestone and I got interrupted with, "40?? You look great!!"

Now I'm wondering if he was early 20s. Was not expecting that response. Anyone else fell it's a bit premature?

This stripper is a fantastic listener, and quite a good multitasker!

I may be wrong but I don't think OP was under an illusion he was into her... she just seems to have thought 40 wasn't old enough to start hearing the "you look great for your age" comments

She asked me a ton of questions about food and what I like to drink! Yeah she's totally into me.
