dated Alice?

No.

From a woman's point of view , I think Alice would have made a nice girlfriend or wife. They played her looks down but I thought she was kind of pretty .;)

Not likely, no - yet possibly, but we would have to go back much further in time than the years of the BB series:

307224

And under the conditions that we be fairly close in age and that she would initiate things, showing a definite interest in me.

When I was still in my 20s, I had a definite and old-fashioned outlook that I would have to be the one asking someone out. I later threw that out the window, and instead became excited when a lady showed interest and made the initial move, like when a co-worker reported "she was checking you out"...! :) I learned not to misplace a woman's phone number written for me on a little piece of paper!!

No def not..........

Seeing as how Alice was just 43, I think if she had worn her hair DOWN, she would have looked a lot younger. I'm surprised she didn't wear it down when she was not "maiding" and was just in her social life, like going out with Sam and on vacation.

It seems they wanted to make her appear older

Heck yes. With her hair down from that stupid bun, and our of her blue uniform she looked great.

Remember in Marcia's dream where she was in the French maid uniform?
