A little while ago I heard a knock on my door. It is cold and raining here and when I opened the door I see a very cute and very drenched young lady attempting to deliver a pizza. She said it was her first night and she looked about to cry.
The apt. she was looking for was close to my number but I wasn’t sure quite where it was, so I let her use my cell to call the customer. She got directions and thanked me.
I asked her if she wanted to come in and dry off, and she politely declined (rightly so, as I was total stranger)
She looked to be in her early 20’s and I am in my mid-40s.
The dang thing about it is, 20 years ago I would have flirted like hell and tried to get her number at least.
Where was that drenched pizza girl when you were in your early 20’s eh?
I can sort of relate. I recently finished a part-time grad program. A wayward frosh would occasionally wander into our area of the building. Let me tell you there were no freshmen girls like that when I was in college! I’m 31 and I felt very old for the duration of those 3 years I was in that program.
Eh, I wouldn’t sweat the age difference. Assuming that you work out and take care of yourself, guys in their 40s are a turn on for some 20-somethings. I should know; I’m 41 and my guy is 24.
Frankly gobear, I wouldn’t know what to even say to a lady (or a guy, if I was gay) that young. I would be so out of touch in a cultural generational way, I would probably come off as an establishment old pervert.
Hey, I was a pizza guy for a year and a half, and there were more than a few people who could have gotten a special delivery if they’d tried. As long as you’re not creepy about it, there’s nothing wrong with a little flirting and seeing whether that goes anywhere. Not everybody’s looking for the same thing.
sigh. Maybe you should call the pizza place she worked for and request her. Always tip her very well and go for it. You see I’ve been living vacariously through your a thread and now that it’s closed …
