school started & i was working with a wonderful, new staff. not that my old teammates were shabby, i was at a new school. for the first time i had an assistant. we got along GREAT! i still miss working with her :(. she knew of all my dating exploits/attempts, etc. so, i was happy to share with her a new development on facebook. now, to be perfectly honest, i was hoping facebook would reconnect me with some of my old crushes, alas, that has yet to happen. on with this particular diversion...
he popped in on me...im'd me from fb. he's from my old neighborhood, so to speak. went to my high school, hung out at the same places i did, made out at & played ball at the same park i did & so on. he was also cute as hell! now, his picture wasn't great as far as determining his age. i figured he was younger but because so many of those places where we hung out are long gone i was hoping he wasn't too much younger. (you getting there yet?). of course i told my g-friend about him & we were all giggly...yes, grown women still get giggly over a guy as stupid as that is! well, i had my class of 2 seniors and we were finished with the lesson and for the most part goofing around so i decided to get on fb to show my bud a pic of him. lo & behold he had "friended" me! (we had chatted many times which were getting very flirtatious but i hadn't friended him yet.) of course, the kids & my friend/assistant said to friend him back so we could see more about him & of course i did. oy vey! turns out HE GRADUATED FROM HS THE YEAR AFTER MY SON WAS BORN!
dammit all! ok so at least he wasn't 20 years younger! as my friends pointed out & encouraged me to meet him! once i discovered his age i asked him if he realized how old i was...his response was it didn't matter to him! so we met :). had a great time right off the bat.
~digression~ i've enjoyed dating these younger men, those in their 20s, because they are honest up front about what they want/expect from you. you also know marriage & baby's isn't a possibility with them so you know neither of you will get heartbroken. i've been fortunate to remain friends with these wonderful men~
i wouldn't call what we did dating per se...but we did have a lot of fun together. we saw each other about once a month for almost a year then it kind of fell off, which was fine. we have gotten together a few times since then...before i left for TX then when he came to visit family in TX over the weekend....good times :).
