I'm taking a 20-year old woman to my 20-year high school reunion

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

As I related here, my wife & I split up in early March. Since then I have been meeting & making friends with all the women at the office, no matter what project they work on, or their age or whether I find them attractive or not, both for “practice” and because I really like any female attention.

One of the women I’ve met is a really pretty 20-year-old girl named Katrina. I’m 38 years old & look about 27 to 30. (yeah, it’s rough!) I haven’t lied to her about my age but I didn’t make a big deal out of it either. I figured this is just for practice talking to pretty women again, I didn’t have any intentions & if she had a problem with it she’d give me some kind of signal.

Well, she has been giving me signals the last couple weeks & not that my age bothers her. We’ve had a sort of office flirtation/crush (I didn’t think that middle-aged people could have a crush).

Last week I asked her if she wanted to get together & hang out Thursday as we both have the day off. I wouldn’t have asked her if I had any weird feelings about her mis-construing it.

So yesterday she drives over to my house, we go check out Gilgal, this bizarro sculpture garden in a back yard in downtown Salt Lake.

We came back to my house, I threw some steaks on the smoker & really satisfied her appetite! We ended up just laying on the couch together watching videos. Since I’m in a weird place emotionally right now & Katrina didn’t give any overtly clear “Kiss me” signals, I didn’t try anything. As she was getting ready to leave, I told her that my BIG high school reunion is coming up & I’d like to take her with me. Her face lit up & she said she’d love to be my “arm candy” (her phrase) for the night. She said she’d wear something really sexy & low-cut for it.

The funny thing is that when I graduated from high school I was 5 foot 7 & weighed 114 lbs, looked like I was 14, thick glasses, got bullied a lot, never fought back. I didn’t go to the prom or homecoming because I was so damn shy & had zero self-esteem. It was the most terrifying time of my life. For years I was angry & bitter about high school, like I guess a lot of people are. I think that going to the reunion, looking younger (if not better) than anyone else there, with a gorgeous young lady friend will be the sweetest revenge possible.

I say go for it. She isn’t underage. You didn’t promise her anything. She seems to know what the program is.

Just don’t let it go much farther. She could get hurt in the end.

Hell, so could you.

Sounds like wish fulfillment to me! GO FOR IT!

Revenge of the nerd?? :cool: Have fun!!

Way to go! Have fun!

Thanks for the replies. Samclem, I’m not going to let it go any further because my separation from my wife hasn’t been very long & I know I would get all clingy if I had sex with Katrina. And I would be the one getting hurt.

Go for it, but many people (especially the ladies) may think she’s an expensive hooker you’ve hired for the night. Have fun!

I love age difference stories! I’m 23 and my husband is 38. He doesn’t look a day over 28. My 5 year reunion is this summer. I am not at all embarassed to take him with me. The way I see it, my family accepts us, his family accepts us, our friends accept us, God accepts us (we had a Catholic wedding and the church wasn’t hit by lightning, a good sign), what do I care about a bunch of people I haven’t talked to in years?

Hey, don’t worry about it.

When I was 18, I started dating a man who was 37. We had a great relationship that lasted for a few years, but eventually the “life experience” thing got in the way. We broke up on a very pleasant note, he played guitar at my first wedding, and his band played the reception.

Oh, and I attended his 20-year reunion with him. But I made it a point to NOT dress as “arm candy.” That was MY choice, though. It went over well, and no one suspected I was as young as I was.

Mr. S is 46 and I am 35. We’ve gone to each other’s reunions since my 5th, which was the year before we got married. We were both “undateable losers” in high school, so it’s nice to show up with a charming person on your arm. I’m not up to “arm candy” standards (at least as in “expensive hooker,” but I like to think I can make a good impression as “the wife.” Mr. S has looked at least 8 years younger than his age since before I met him, so people are always surprised when they learn about the age difference. And he cuts a striking figure when he’s all gussied up. :slight_smile:

Have fun at your reunion – knock 'em dead!

I’m glad to report that the reunion was a success. My date K. & I had fun. We were definitely the youngest looking couple there & & IMHO the best looking.

The reunion was held in Utah County, which I can best describe as Berlin in the 30’s after they got rid of all the homosexuals, gypsies, jazz musicians & caberet performers; only without alcohol. Everyone smiling & working hard with one common goal & belief uniting them. I’m glad that I escaped that place.

K. said that she felt like all the women there were staring at her & giving her dirty looks, so we left early. On our way out, a classmate’s hot-looking, wild wife (she also felt the dirty looks from the other women there!) followed us out & asked if we were going anywhere. We ended up getting some beer for the girls & going to their hotel room. (sorry, no swinging :().

K. & I are close friends but just friends. I think that arrangement will work best for me. If my wife & I had split up six months earlier I’d try for a casual monogamy thing, but not now. I’m not planning on that in a few months but my mind’s not closed off to the possibility. Just for today it’s really cool to have a close friendship with some sexual tension.
