Older women/Younger men.I'm confused
Ok, so I've finally (FINALLY!) decided to re-enter the dating worth after months and months of being a crying, hopeless, helpless, pathetic shell of a human being. There's just something that has me a bit puzzled. Maybe some of you guys can clue me in.
As some of you know from previous posts, I work on the weekends as a Go-Go dancer at an 80's dance club. I'm allowing myself to be more receptive to guys who take an interest in me, since I'm finally moving on with my life. I've noticed however, that a majority of these guys are like 21 and 22 years old (I'm 37). I'm finding that this happens a lot to my other single female friends as well. I don't have a problem with dating guys who are younger than me, but there are thoughts that keep running through my head... When these young men were in diapers, I was one of the many Madonna wannabes running around in crazy outfits (much to my parents disapproval). When they were learning to talk, I was using words such as bodacious, awesome, and bombdigity. I was a teenager during a time when Michael Jackson was normal, you bought music in the form of vinyl records, Molly Ringwald was the queen of teen movies, MTV actually played music videos (yes, it's true), and there was no such thing as the internet (GASP! ) :eek: . I was married when these guys were just starting school.
So, am I missing something? Why do a lot of younger guys take an interest in older women? Is this like a new thing or have I just been in the dark for too long? I'm just really curious. Another thing... Would it be a horrible thing for me to actually go out to dinner and a movie with someone that age? I don't know how I would react if I was out on a date with someone that was thought to be my son! Jeeeez, I feel so old and clueless right now!!
