Last month I had a first date with a very nice cashier. This was definitely in my top 10 dates of all time. There were sparks on both sides, and needless to say we were going out again. During this past month, we went out six times. Now I know this might not sound like a lot, except that it all happened within two weeks. This woman was so easy going, and she did not care about expensive restaurants.

All she was looking for was someone to spend time together, smiling and holding hands. I have dated some women like this in the past, but in my dating circle, more and more women want to be wined and dined, constantly. There is nothing wrong with that. I enjoy going out, just not that often.
Now we are having a blast seeing each other, and I am starting to get a really great feeling about us. So we are on our fifth date, and the conversation is fantastic. I am feeling so good, and then she asks me a question? I am so happy, I am thinking there is no way this could possibly hurt the relationship we have started. Oh so you want to know the question, huh? Ok, she asked me how old I was. I told her, and her jaw dropped. I had been told I do not look my age, and from her expression, I guess it’s true. I really thought it would not matter.
As I was picking her up for our sixth date, she said she was sorry, but she could not go out with me any more. I asked why not, and she said I was too old. Way too old. It came to pass that she was a “cougar”, and wants to date only guys that are way younger. This woman was close to my age, maybe older. You might be wondering, did I ask her age? No! I do not date someone because of their age; I date someone because I am attracted to them. People are always saying age is just a number. That’s how I live my life. I know there are a lot of single people out there reading this. Ask yourself, why are you still looking? Do you have an age range? Maybe you should let go, and date that guy or gal, that are very nice, but not in your age range. What do you have to lose? That’s my tip of the month.
