I was in university, and he was in my program, so we had a lot of classes together. He asked me how old I was. i told him and he didn't believe me. Said he'd buy that I was 27, but not 37. I had to show him my ID. 
He was a sweet kid, but immature. I knew it wouldn't last, but it was fun. 
Lol, although I can see why you backed away, maybe you didn't need to...? Maybe your coworker would have been happy about it? But yeah, potential for awkwardness.
Grace, good for you for doing it that way and having it work out!! I just find myself getting really cynical reading those sites. Very ordinary (or lower) guys are demanding supermodel types. Then with myself, I find the same thing, I browse and feel really dismissive toward guys that don't meet my "criteria." It just feels shallow and unnatural to me. Not that it is...it's my own issue.
I'm definitely buying the camping pass from my friend, because I don't know that I'll be able to face a 2-hour drive after the show, after a red-eye flight and all that driving. Plus a concert! But if she's cool with it, it would be nice to have a back-up plan, just in case.
I get into Boston at about 7:30 on Friday morning.
- to link up later on Saturday. I think my plan is to bypass the hotel and go to the venue to scope out the scene. That could change after 6 hours in a car. KNowing that I'd have to turn around and go back to the hotel 2 hours away. But we are getting up asscrack of dawn to get there. I just need to figure out if the lot will be open and such.
Yeah, as for driving on Friday, I'll likely take it easy. It'll depend on if I was able to sleep on the plane or not. If not, I'll have to just find somewhere to go right away once I get out of the city to take a nap, like at a rest stop or something. Or maybe it means I just have to stop driving earlier and check into a motel, and then get an earlier start on Saturday.
I actually had good luck on a message board I used to hang out on that was male-centric. Its purpose was not dating, but got to know a few people, and there was an attraction. I think I'm much more comfortable in that kind of setting? Like Interference. Except the guys I've gotten to know here are more the brotherly type, and that's just...wrong.
I just much prefer being single. It's so much easier and stress-free to be on my own.
It's been much longer than that for me. Unless you count the quasi-relationship, which, I have no idea if I should. That one kinda defies definition. I'm too chicken to try online dating, but most of my friends have found their partners that way. I think it's awesome.
The main problem I've had is many guys are looking for a hookup, which obviously isn't what I'm looking for. I've learned that "I'm not looking for something serious now, but I'm open to it." means "Looking for a fuck buddy."
Here's my current outlook on romance:
There was a tree and power lines down.
I only got screwed up b/c I wound up passing 3 people and that took my mind off the numbers."The Fly" is playing in Baltimore!!
He should be so lucky.
I don't know. I'm in major PMS mode right now, but realistically, I don't think I'm misreading this. At best, maybe he was trying to be funny and amusing? But it wasn't.
When I was 37, I dated a guy who was 24.
We kept in touch for a long time after school ended, but it's been a couple of years now.
Oh the adventures I've had in online dating.
Wtf is that on his hand? Doesn't look good.
