What do you feel "too old" for?

Degotoga · 03-11-2013, 07:15 PM

Apparently I'm too old for dating, of all things. When did it get so complicated? Whatever happened to the shy awkwardness of asking a lady for a date and taking the time to get to know her? I'm having a hard time getting my head around the idea of skipping any form of dating and just jumping in the sack together. Case in point, over the weekend I got propositioned for a one night stand...by a woman I have never laid eyes on before. THEN, she called me a prude when I politely declined her offer. Is this what they now call "dating"? If so, it's a damn good thing I've embraced being single. Oh how I long for the days when things were simpler, and those with integrity were respected and cherished. Maybe it's just the local scene, or maybe, just maybe, I really am a prude.

Honestly, the person you're describing who called you a prude for not wanting to go home with her—she sounds drunk.

I was having a hot exchange with a butch once who asked, the moment she learned my age, "Do you have any problems lubricating?" and "How's your libido?"

I don't know if you're too old to date; only you know when you're done with all that. But I'm willing to bet, you're old enough to know when someone isn't eligible to date you. Don't let one loser get you down. It's a big world, and it's the only one we've got. It's a beautiful world, too, full of people with good hearts.

I couldn't honestly say if she was drunk or not. And while I appreciate directness, that was a little too direct for my liking from someone I knew nothing about. I haven't given up on the idea of dating, but if that's all there is to it, I'm really not interested.

I am too old not to seize the moment and live happily how I want to be

PearlsNLace · 03-21-2013, 09:52 PM

I am too old to be this immature. I'm certain I should have this life stuff figured out by now.

Once the crows feet start in, the acne and the poor self confidence really need to skedaddle.
