You Can Call Me, I Won't Call You

Last week I wrote a post about being single and it came back to bite me in the butt. Today I found a new place to meet guys, the gas station. Naturally I did not come to this conclusion on my own; it was more of a forced revelation.

It happened when a man of maybe 30-35 years-old (always older) asked me what my name was and if I had a boyfriend. Because I knew how that convo would play out it I simply said, "Yes, I do". I then thought he'd go away (I should have known better).

This man proceeded to offer me his number and said I could call him but he won't call me because he knows I have a boyfriend.

It made me wonder if he is in marketing because he strategy was great. It leaves the door open for future connections and had I taken his number he would have had one foot in the door already.

40 Can Be Fun

So I was hit on not once today but twice, but by older men. One man was in his late 20s/early 30s and the other was 40; he told me so.

Ironically the 40-year-old man was much more attractive and suave than the younger and if he wasn't so much older or I wasn't so much younger I would have given him a shot.

I think if I were around 25 or so I'd go out with him. I shared this with my mother and sister and neither of them approved. As a liberal thinker I always believe that you should be with whoever makes you happy, no matter age, race, gender etc.

While age differences can strain relationships I don't think there's any harm in giving it a shot. Besides the difference between this older man and the others I've referenced is that there was potential for a mutual attraction.

I Don't Want to Date My Father

Why are all old men attracted to me? Just today I went to the supermarket and as I was walking back to my car a horn honked and as he drove by I saw that he was old enough to be my father.

I thought to myself, "WTF". I know I'm not alone, all of you girls in you 20s know exactly what I'm talking about. Everyday we are whistled at, honked at and talked at by dirty old men.

If they were George Clooney, it'd be different but since they're not I'm disgusted. Not all of us want a Sugar Daddy but they don't get that.

Women, what signals are you giving these men that they keeping going after more?

The only person I want to call or think of as my daddy is the man who helped give me life.
