How young is too young?
Last night was going to be a stay home and chill night. I got invited to go out to Nick’s with close friend, MB. MB was going to meet a date, but wanted to hang out before he arrived. I figured that would be a good break, especially with the football game on TV. We arrived around 630pm. MB was drinking beer and I was drinking water. (i got a little drunk after the blogtalkradio show on weds.) MB and I was just goofing off and talking about dating, when she pointed out that I was flirting with the waitress. I didn’t realize it, because I was being social at the time. I wasn’t trying to flirt with her.
The next time the waitress came to the table I began to check her out. She is attractive, 5′4″ tall, long brown hair, brown eyes, and athletic build. She had the shorts and the usual referee shirt on. I noticed that she had a tattoo on her ankle, long hair, and looked fairly young. Over the next few minutes I included the waitress in our conversation. She told me what her tattoo meant and explained her college courses. She wants to be a nurse. I even asked her if she dated guys outside her race. She said yes. I expected her to say she dated black men, but her last boyfriend was a Hispanic guy. That is when I told her I date white women and write a IR blog. She seemed a bit intrigued. This is when I found out she was 19. I thought she might be 22, but I told her I was 19 too. MB laughed uncontrollably. So I then said, “I’m joking.. I’m 28.” MB laughed so hard, I think she snorted! The fact that MB, another woman, was laughing made her nervous. I couldn’t get MB to quiet down quick enough.
The one thing I know is, when a guy is trying to flirt with a woman and another women laughs at him, it’s not a good thing. It’s another form of cock blocking. (shame on MB for cock blocking)
MB and I asked her if she noticed any differences with different guys of different races. She immediately said there are attitude differences. It was interesting listening to her talk. So immediately I asked her out to the movies and for her phone number. She pointed out that lots of guys ask for her number, but the movies was cool. So my next line was, “You’re right...I’ll do you a favor and save you the embarrassment of asking for my number.. that way you can call me when you want to go out.” She gave me a high-five and said, “i have to admit that was good.” But she never said no to the movies.
A few minutes later MB’s date showed up. I stayed for a few minutes before leaving the two love birds alone. I didn’t get 3 steps from the table when the waitress stopped me. She wanted to know when I was going to see her again and if I was coming back. I laughed and said, “I’ll come back on another day or you can just call me.” She told me when her next day at work and wanted to hang out with me before she went on a date. I agreed to do that. She wanted to check me out a little more.
Now the delima is, she’s a few years younger than my normal dating requirements. I’ve watched other people date much younger people. Usually they bring drama and other b/s issues. But I heard something on the radio the other day, “They all have issues, why not get one that looks good nakkid.” Damn. Is that why Cougars date younger men? Is that why older guys date younger women?

HAHA…I wasn’t embarrassed… she did chase me down when I was leaving. Besides embarrassing yourself is a good way to pick up women. They love a guy who does silly shyt.

Yeah, but you *shoulda* been. It was like watching some cougar hitting on one of my boys. Ain’t havin none o’ dat.
But too bad I didn’t have my pen and paper to take notes. Or maybe a video recorder. You don’t even know what you’re doing half the time, I think.
(And turn off that damn plugin, getting emails that I didn’t sign up for, and which appear to have been written by some ESL-dropout, are annoying.)

By “don’t even know”, I mean “not even aware of”.
Too young for what?? What are your motives? Too young to go to the movies with? Too young to have wild monkey sex with? Too young to have a long lasting relationship with? Or in your case…Too young to watch ESPN and do it doggie style with??
Really, what are your motives?
Missys last blog post..I love my Dogs!

All of the above. I might attempt all of those… or just put her in dating rotation.

I used to have a 10 year rule…notice I say used to. I met this guy at a party, the subject of age never came up, we had great convos. Yeah it was an aol party, maybe I should have asked, but I didn’t. We became pretty good friends. I wasn’t in FL yet, but he was. I’d come here a lot for work and see him. 2 years later, the subject of age came up…I was 42 at the time. I find out he’s 24, which means I was 40 and he was 22 when we met. I couldn’t believe it…he’s very mature, I would have pegged him for about 35 when we met. I still try to stick with my 10 year rule (10 years older or younger than me) but people are different, so I never discount someone because of their age anymore. Enjoy the person, if they’re not for you their age wouldn’t matter! Everyone has issues, our issues are just different at 19 than they are at 45!!!

did you go out with someone the same age as your kid? haha
[Reply]
Luckily I don’t have kids, so I didn’t have to look at it that way! It was a lot more fun than going out with someone who could be my dad!

One big challenge can be to connect/vibe properly with her friends (of both sexes).
Even if you do well with her (she’s mature or you just click well or whatever), her friends might not be at that level and it can feel a bit weird when hanging out with them.
At least that is the consideration I have. Any experience or good advise, anybody?
Where the intention would be a short or long relationship. (Or keeping her as a friend and meet other cute girls from her circle, LOL).

At worst case.. good looking women are always good bait for more women to come around

“But I heard something on the radio the other day, “They all have issues, why not get one that looks good nakkid.” Damn. Is that why Cougars date younger men? Is that why older guys date younger women?”
Why even ask that? It seems to be the point of all your “dates” so what’s the difference how old they are?

age isn’t really important unless you make a big deal about it. It just depends on the life experiences you want to share with that person. Dating is one thing. I’m 26 but I’ve had drinks with someone twice my age. It didn’t go past that. If you ever want anything serious with someone considerably *(like 15yrs +/-) I think there would be generational gaps that would be hard to “click” on with regards to hanging out in social settings…like a work party or something if there’s not a big mixed age crowd. I dated a guy only 3 years younger than me and I just thought he acted so silly and juvenile around friends of his that were younger than him…. and I didn’t find their silliness funny. and yeahhhh the only reason I would date a guy much younger than me would be eye candy.

Well there’s nothing wrong with eye candy
It depends on what both parties are bringing to the table or looking for..Or so I would guess.

Eathan I still say you’re a damn mess….but I’m glad you’re my friend…I am never bored!!!
[Reply]
I’m glad i keep ya entertained..lol
[Reply]
Ooooooh you’re going to HELL!!!
And yes age matters, she’s just 2 years over the legal limit and you’re almost 60…you should be ashamed…lol.
But even a five year differencce in your 20’s can signify a difference in maturity level…below 20 is a definite no go. I think people who date kids have an authoritarian complex…cause we all know that younger mates worship the ground we walk on and will do anything we ask.
I say don’t go back, Eathan I would be embarrased to call you my friend if you ruined this 19 yr old GIRL’s life.

haha.. 1st of all.. I’m NOT ALMOST 60.. I’m not even close..lol
It’s not a authoritarian position that i’m seeking.. I’m seeking uninhibited fun. Besides, I think she has a birthday coming up…so that would make her 20 soon…lol
and don’t worry, I’ll hand out masks to all my friends who are embarrased. That way no one will know you’re my friend…haha
I’m more concerned if she can handle the “wang-a-dang”
[Reply]
I wouldn’t really overthink this. If she’s attractive and you think she’s cute, just go on the date and see what happens. I will tell you, I’ve worked in several bars and restaurants and the hot, young chicks ALWAYS date older guys, sometimes much older guys. It comes with the territory, and you certainly wouldn’t be breaking new ground there. Have fun.
On personal note, I’ve been telling myself no way I would date a 19-year-old, that is until I picked one up on the airplane recently. She’s cool and hot. You bet your ass I would date her.
