So, last night I had my first date since my divorce. In one word: Yummy! But, as it turns out he is 12 years my junior! Yikes! So, should I care? My thought? Hell no! We met last weekend (if you read my "To Bar or Not to Bar" post he was the "hottest fucking guy" I mentioned. At the time I had NO idea he was 24 years old--he seemed and looked about 30ish to me, and at 36, I didn't think much of it. But, as I came to learn last night, he's only a baby. 24. Still in undergrad for God's sake!

But I've decided that what is good for the goose is good for the gander, so I'm going to see him again. Is it love? No. Is it lust. Hell yes. Does dating someone technically young enough to be my son a bad thing? I don't know. You tell me.

    I say go for it!!  Who cares if he's younger.....men date younger women all the time!  As long as you are having fun thats all that matters!  (btw, I am SO jealous!!  lol)  You go girl!!

    Hey there minniemouse! I think you give great advice!!! I figure, why not? He must think I'm date-able, though he doesn't know my age, so what the hell!!! Thanks minniemouse, it was great getting some support for playing Mrs. Robinson with this young lad! :)
  • momsrock said on Feb 24, 2007....
    I would have to agree with minniemouse! I think there are a lot of things younger men have to offer...like stamina! lmao :)
  • NotTheOfficeWhore said on Feb 25, 2007....
    Hey there momsrock! First off, yes they do! Moms most definitely rock! I know mine kicks ass! Secondly, bless you for the laugh! "...Like stamina" had me cracking up laughing. I had to call my girlfriend and tell her what you wrote, then SHE cracked up laughing! Doing this 12 years younger man thing should be quite the sociological experiment...I'll keep everyone updated on how it goes.

    Thanks to EVERYONE for the encouragement!!! You all RULE!!!!
  • momsrock said on Feb 25, 2007....
    yes, please do keep us updated. I'm a little jealous...this sort of thing doesn't seem to work in a small town so I will have to live vicariously through you! The only young men that seem to hit on me are illegal. I have joked about putting up a sign on my desk that requires them to be 25...but there are a few 23 year olds I wouldn't mind seeing more of!! lol

    Well, I've dated seriously a man 15 years my junior and have a man who is 20 years younger than me saying he wants to marry me currently.
     
    It's flattering as all hell, and good for your self esteem especially when just divorced.  I say have a great time!  Just be careful.  A younger man is in a different time of his life and a different level of maturity.   My 15 year younger guy was a hot red-headed snow boarder who was 6'3"tall and very intelligent but over time the 2 different maturity levels we lived in took a toll. 
     
    So, probably not going to be THE relationship.  But for now after the divorce hell yeah!

    Minor update ladies! He called tonight! Yay! I mean, you never really know, after a first date, if the guy will call back for a second, but this child that I went out with last Thursday apparently wants to do it again! Woo Hoo! Unfortunately, I'm extremely busy this week, so that didn't work out, but maybe this upcoming weekend I'll have more updates on what it's like to be almost 37 and dating a freaking undergrad!!! Oh my God, is that REALLY ME typing that? Pinched myself, and said, "Ouch", so yep, it's me.
  • minniemouse said on Feb 26, 2007....
    Yay for you NTOW!  I'm looking forward to hearing about the second date!!!  Go gettm'!!!  Hope you have a great week at work!

    Go for it! Enjoy!
  • NotTheOfficeWhore said on Mar 09, 2007....
    Okay, sorry to say I just COULDN'T DO IT!!!! I know, I'm a putz, but I'm 36!!!!!!!!! It was like dating a child. But hey, I got out there and had a date, so I'm proud of myself!!!! Had to have that first post-divorce date one of these days, and doing so with a spectacularly hot 24 year old boy from Cypress? Not a bad way to start!!! :)
  • sidhe said on Mar 09, 2007....
    Not at all!  You go girl!  :)

    My husband is 10 years younger and we are so in love people say we make them sick.  He is a wonderful father, spoils me like a queen, he is drop dead gorgous and goes nowhere without his wife...well except Iraq :) 
    Then again his grandmother says she always knew he would marry an older woman because he is like an old soul in a young body.
    Yes I wish you all could meet him:)  Good luck to you Sunny,  HOpe you find true love because everyone deserves it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     
  • NotTheOfficeWhore said on Mar 12, 2007....
    Hi Soldiercipswife! I love your story!!! Good for you!!!! I love it when I hear the "makes them sick" kind of comments!!! That is the kind of love that just kicks ass!

    Somehow, Grandmas are always right! They should all write books, and we should all listen!

    I'm so pleased you are happy and I hope he's either back safely from Iraq or will be soon!

    I too hope I find true love. I did meet a wonderful man last night, so I've got my fingers crossed that it at least leads to one hell of a good 2nd date! One day at a time, but damn it would be nice to keep this one around for a little while. He seems amazing so far!!!

    Have a great night and give that husband a pinch on the butt!

    so what about us poor older guys? ;p
  • momsrock said on Mar 29, 2007....
    d6: you get women with names "mom" and "momsrock" and "boyzmom"  lol just kidding :)
  • D6fer said on Mar 29, 2007....
    I know I know ;p
  • NotTheOfficeWhore said on Mar 29, 2007....
    Please! Older! None of you are old! I'm certainly no babe in the woods. Hence the crisis of OLDER woman, younger man. :) At least the new guy is a year and a half older than me. No cradle robbing this time!!!
  • anonymous said on Apr 04, 2007....
    No. Most guys are turned on by a older mature woman. You're ok and if he knew he was young enough to be your son......(you thought hes good in bed now......!)

    I need advice!!! I am 28 and my boyfriend is 23. he is in the marine corp. I have been married and divorced and want to get married before he leaves for iraq. I know he is young and i know he loves me but i dont want to wait for him if he dosent commit. i dont want to force marriage on him but i really think he should marry the woman who is waiting. I dont want to wait and it not pay off i am so torn i dont know if i should keep waiting or if i should move on. i know he loves me and he says we will get married eventually but how can i wait for this long and not have anything to show for it? am i pushing too hard? I love him sooo much but i dont want to get hurt

It seems like all the guys I invest my time into have a hard time committing. For example, the situation with B recently ended. It was his decision and he didn't tell me why. He's been avoiding me like the plague. I respect that he wan...
In today's society, beauty, physical attraction, and sexuality are all commonly misunderstood as some transcendent inevitable fact; falsely interlocking the three makes it seem doubly ......
