Last Friday I was at a bar; a live band was playing and there was a woman there who knew the drummer; she sat next to me at the bar while I tried to work out the crossword puzzles in the newspaper (the band hadn’t started up yet) and ultimately i struck up a conversation with her. I ended up doing a couple of tarot card readings for her (oh, don’t look at me that way; it’s my “party trick” and yes, it amounts to doing a cold reading, but I always take care to explain that to whoever I “read” for) and we ended up dancing for a while. I figured, “what the hell” and asked her to have dinner with me on Tuesday (today). She agreed, we exchanged numbers, and she actually called me yesterday to confirm the date.
OK, so why am I questioning anything so far? Here are some relevant facts of the situation:
I’m 34. She’s most likely at least a decade older than me, is recently divorced and has three kids, the oldest of which is a 17 year-old male. She’s quite stunning and vivacious, I have no problem with the age difference, though meeting the 17 year old might be a bit awkward.
She is quite the social butterfly; whenever she took a trip to the ladies’ room, she took forever because she stopped at nearly every table to talk to someone she knew. In every case, it was a guy that she stopped to talk to. OK, fine with that. Here’s the kicker; I come to find out that in addition to calling me to confirm our date for tonight, she also managed to track down the phone number of the bartender (who is 22 years old) and called HIM yesterday, telling him that he was “a really good bartender” and that he “should call” sometime. The bartender told me about this and how ODD the whole situation seemed to him (aside from the vast age difference between them, he said he didn’t really talk to her much at all and besides, he has a steady girlfriend).
The date is still on of course, dinner at 5:30.
So does this sound like the a situation where she’s pretty much just looking to get her rocks off, so to speak? Or more of a free meal thing? I can’t imagine that she is actually looking for anything like a true relationship, expecially with her calling 22-year old bartenders as well.
I agree. If you’re looking for a relationship this doesn’t sound like the one. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a fun night with an older hottie, gear up and get down!
Lok, I don’t do this for just anyone, but you seem like a nice fella. A sort of 20 something years ago me, of course slightly less cool.
Nevertheless, here’s my offer. Send me in as a kind of a ‘test-date’. I’ll report back and let you know if she just wanted the proverbial rock-off getting, or if she’s really into YOU.
Heh! Should be an interesting night…thanks for pretty much confirming my impressions.
Believe it or not, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened to me, though before it was with a slightly older woman who was a married swinger. At least that’s the story she told me.
I must have some kind of “older woman attractant” thing going on.
Turns out the “Cougar” sells group vacation packages as part of a pyramid scheme and the dinner date was a cover to get me to go sit through their recruiting presentation.
As soon as the presentation was underway, she turned into Won’t-Shut-Up-With-The-Sales-Pitch-Woman. Gah!
It certainly explains why she kept stopping to talk to people and even call the 22 year-old guy.
This fellow is feeling down about his 30th birthday so he heads down to the local bar.
Pretty soon an older woman engages him in conversation. When he mentions that it’s his birthday
she asks him if he’s ever been with a mother-daughter threeway. He thinks despite the fact she’s about 50, she’s HOT and he could use some cheering up. Upon arrival at her house, she leads him inside and yells up the stairs-MOM, ARE YOU AWAKE?
Funny you should say that. I have an idea about how to get lots of shoes quickly. We should meet and have dinner and discuss this.*
Here’s how:
You receive a copy of a letter or an email message, making fabulous claims about how many shoes you can “earn” by participating in it.
You send a shoe to some number of people who have joined this scheme ahead of you. Typically, you may be asked to send one shoe each to four or five people.
You alter the list of previous participants, removing the one at the top of the list, moving all the other names up one position, and adding your own name to the bottom of the list.
You send out as many copies of this altered letter as you can, to as many people as you can reach.
