I can't tell anyone in my real life, so I'm gonna tell you guys. Who ever you all are.
I've been talking to this guy online, and we're planning to meet up tomorrow afternoon. We're going to a public park, so like no need to worry about safety or anything. But like what if it's super awkward? I'm so nervous. I like never go on dates, so an internet date is even more weird.
Also, the most important thing that makes me not be able to tell anyone, he's older than me. Like a lot. He's 32, and I'm 19. We've got more than a decade between us, which makes me kind of feel like it's a date, but it could also be like hanging out with an uncle or a teacher or something.
I dunno.
But I'm going to go. I'm going to meet up with him. I want to see what it would be like to go on a date with someone so clearly inappropriate. And, it'll be a funny confession someday when I'm playing a drinking game. That's a healthy way to look at it, right? Also, there's the allure of possibly kissing someone who actually has a lot of experience with kissing.
One of my worries- and there are many- is what kind of 32 year old is looking to go on a date with a 19 year old? Like, why is that an attractive idea to him? I don't really get it.
I think you'll be fine, love, really. As long as you two are in public, there's no point in worrying (and God! I'm hoping I'm right because we both know he could turn out to be a real weirdo.. although, to be fair, the chances of that are fairly slim).
ReplyDeleteConfession: I've done quite a bit of online dating during my semester abroad-- thought it would be fun to meet some local guys to show me around the city. And I was right! It was a lot of fun, even though I could have been a bit less reckless, now that I think of it. Anyway, to the point-- I've always been attracted to thirty-something guys, and I can say it works both ways. There's just a certain something about them.. I did fall for one in the end and we dated for a few weeks: I can honestly say those we some of the best weeks of my life. Yes, I met him online. Yes, I was 22. He was 33. Do I have any regrets? None. Zero. Null.
It's never about age, babe, but rather about the connection. (yeaaah, try telling the parents about it, right? never told them, obviously.) ;)
So go ahead, have fun, but don't forget to stay safe anyway, okay? :)
Love,
Lu.
Hahaha, Jackie, sorry for highjacking your comments, but your post just brought so many memories :D
ReplyDeleteAbout the "with age comes great(er) kissing experience"-- well, not necessarily ;) A went on a date with this really cute guy once (31? 32 years old? I forget), and let me tell you, he was a really bad kisser, and I'm talking licking-your-face-like-a-dog-and-messing-up-your-make-up kind of bad. Sorry for being too graphic, but every time I think of it, I can't help but laugh :D Eeeew, it was really, really, truly terrible!
:D anyways, hope your date goes well, and don't forget to give us some details later, okay?
Hope you have an awesome day!
