Date much?
 

I've become separated from my husband, and lately I've been getting asked out a lot. The problem is every one of the guys who have asked me out are under 23. I'm 28, and the thought of going out with a nineteen year old is just creepy to me. I mean, he can't even get into bars yet.
You guys have any opinions?

Yes. Save yourself for me;)

I bet there's a lotta guys here that are closer to the age you want. Moo ha ha.

LOL you guys rock;)

It's just been a really long time since I had to consider stuff like this, and I'm pretty out of practice. I mean, I know we haven't been split very long, so I should proceed with things slowly and all that stuff. At the same time, sitting around moping isn't going to help me at ALL, and my ex is running around acting like HE'S 20.....why shouldn't I have some fun too? Of course, I don't want to push myself into anything just because I feel I have to compete....it's just one of those difficult situations. I know it's life, I just didn't miss this part of it that much lol.

Ok, I'll give you a serious answer. I don't date people much younger than me. I prefer within a 2yr radius of myself either way, (although I do dig older women)

Oh, and congratulations! You're officially a MILF!:p

Awesome....do I get a t-shirt and a Baskin Robbins coupon?
I like ice cream.

never dated.

i always got to know people informally first.

the idea of a formal date terrifies me - the thought of being trapped with someone for more than 30 minutes who will probably turn out to be a nightmare.

i'm extremely fussy - before i was married (and this includes my wife) i always got to know the person as a good friend before i was willing to spend 'alone time' with them.

i know some people look at it as an exciting way to get to know new people but i dont .. it's like going to a job interview where you know that in 99% of the case - you probablywouldnt even want to work for that company.

and yes, i was like this BEFORE i got old.

I thought before you got old, parents still arranged marriages to help increase the family tracts of land.

I went on dates when I was younger, and it was usually just like you described it, uptight and like an interview. The thought of having to do it now kind of makes me queasy....but at the same time, it could be worse. I have a friend who works for the county, and the majority of guys she ends up dating she meets in the child support recovery office:rolleyes:

she has HUGE ......... tracts of land..

i'm like this too, the thought of a blind date *shudders*

i have to know that i like someone and can get on with them first

not just a blind date -
even if i sort of know the person i'm not interested.
I like to get to know someone by talking a lot - but informally... like hanging out in a group, etc ....i never wanted to feel trapped or forced.

by casual observation i was always able to eliminate a lot of people from the equation right off the bat.

this sounds absurd coming from someone who looks like a can of crushed dew worms but as odd as it is - i always had attractive girlfriends ..
no accounting for taste on their part..

i'm not good in large groups, i do prefer small gatherings, i tend to be a listener rather than a talker, until i get to know someone well enough to start chatting

LOL you mean a classic California marriage.:p

That DOES sound like a pretty sound plan...a good plan...

Jump in and have fun. You've just come out of a relationship and you deserve to blow off some steam. Take a date or two, see how it feels.

If it sucks pull back, but at least give yourself a chance. The unknown is scary, sure, but it can also be a blast.

I'm sure you have plenty of admirers, you're a knockout. In addition to fielding a few invitations, you should ask someone out. A strong, confident, sexy woman asking a man out...that's hot.

Good luck! I'm rooting for you:D

Personally I wouldn't date a 19 year old at my age and I am only 25. My spouse is 24 and that was pushing it lol JK. But when we met, we met out with a group and just started hanging out, basically everyday, but we would go out and do stuff in fun pubs and whatnot so it wasn't like all quiet at a fancy restaurant or anything. I dk we were just really comfortable from day one. I would only go out with someone you feel that way with instantly. Maybe I am pushing it a bit but you knwo what I mean? I definately agree that you shoudl get out and have some fun for sure, just from my experience younger guys=trouble and mostly just want sex.

You're a great ol Poe, Rod.:p
I'm going to try really hard to lighten up about this whole situation. I mean when you really think about it, there are much worse things to endure in life. Cancer.
Loss of limb.
Paris Hilton.
I should just put all the deeper questions on the back burner and have a good fucking time.
Bring on the Jello shots. I'm ready.:p

Go out with the babies-use them for practice!
And hot sex once in awhile with a young man can add benefits for you AND them-make sure you teach them well my friend...teach them WELL:)


Sorry to hear about your husband, that must be heartbreaking.
If you ever need someone to try a half-assed attempt to cheer you up-I'm around here sometimes:D
Take Care of your heart sweetie!

LMFAO so dating younger men could almost be a public service.....
You rock. Thanks.:cool:

"The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else"

i dunno who said that but its worked for me in the past. of course it has also worked not so well. My GF is 6 years younger than me and we have alot of fun, gotta find the right person tho. I'd say if the young'uns are pining for you make em buy you some shit and use em for the pole if you're horny. Trial and error is usually the best, you don't wanna sit around and collect coochie cobwebs now do you?:eek:

That's the spirit!

just read my signiture - Shatner sang it:eek:

Some advice from Mrs. White, "Men should be like Kleenex: soft, strong, and desposable."

It'll never let you down.

yeah go out and get yourself some of that........"hoochie poochie!" ......you know. ;) ;)

Maybe you could become a nun?

A Hott nun.

So basically what I'm getting is, use the younger guys because that's what they want. Otherwise, I'll turn into a nun and get cootchie cobwebs. Well, that makes the decision much easier. I don't like nuns OR cobwebs.
Yay robbing the cradle!!!!!!!

You could always start with me. :D

Damn Dave, you offered me before I did.:p

LMAO
Are you over eighteen?:p

.....? I'm 22....

Oh, well that's okay then.;)

What's your problem with nuns?

I'm sorry to hear of your separation, it's never easy no matter who left who or if it was mutual, it still sucks. However, it may also be the best thing that has ever happened to you, time will tell. Don't jump into anything serious right away, no matter how tempting it may be, you're only filling a void and that isn't fair to you or your new prospect.

Now, as far as younger guys go, they can do it more often and probably aren't looking for anything serious. So, go play for a while, just don't break anyone's heart and don't let your heart get broken.

But play, baby, play! And like Nova said, teach them well honey, teach them well. :)

The main thing is to have fun and do things that will help you to feel good (like maybe boinking young cute guys). It's a hard time but it will get better!

And I hope you know you can PM me anytime. :)

Yeah...be friendly and nice, take it slow, go out there and see what's goin' on. And get yourself some of that there, um..."hoochie poochie!" ....yeah. "Hoochie poochie" means, warm snuggly companionship, in case anyone was wondering.:cool:

Heh...I made a thread almost identical to this one a couple of years ago...ALL the guys who asked me out were between 20-25 (and one 19 year old who simply REFUSED to give up)...I kept saying "NO, I'm way too old for you"...I said it to Dustin, too...He was 20 then...He's 22 now...I guess that makes it a little better...lol

If I could dig up that old thread you could get a LOT of different opinions from it (pretty much all ending up saying, "If they're legal, go for it!")...Unfortunately, thanks to these FABULOUS upgrades, I don't think I could find it...

Anyway...I think you know what MY opinion on the subject is ;)

Bang and get it over with?

They never have sex. And they hit you with rulers. Haven't you ever seen The Blues Brothers?

And I guess it could be worse....I could be dodging geriatric lounge lizards with lots of gold chains and spray on hair. You guys are totally right, a little torture of the younger male population might be the best thing for me. What else are they good for besides delivering pizzas and getting DUI'S?
Sorry, I know that was insulting. Younger guys are good for all sorts of things....plugging leaks in the roof, being thrown at mountain lions when they attack, opening cans.:p

I found you a new avatar, Irish:p

My only advice? NEver, ever ever accept a blind date. i have been on 2, and got burned twice.

Although, I suppose it was my fault to accept an offer for a blind date when the guy who set it up says she is "cute", and he is the guy dating my sister....


Who I dont really believe is attractive by human standards.
