Looking younger than I am
I’ve often been told that I look younger than I really am. I’m not entirely sure why that is. I think I sometimes dress “young.”
(I am NOT going to start dressing in pajama bottoms and flip-flops and not brush my hair. What is UP with that trend?)
I purposely do NOT dye the gray out of my hair just so there’s a chance people will assume I am my actual age.
And people always tell me how great it is that I look younger than I am. That I should enjoy it and take it as a compliment. What could the downside possibly be?
Last night I had dinner at an Irish pub. Alone. I eat out a lot and I more often than not eat alone. I love doing that. Eating and taking a book with me to read and just enjoying my own company. Anyway… I did get hit on twice. Two guys at separate times approached my table. Without going into detail, cuz it’s pretty boring and irrelevant, I found out their ages. Both of them were 23.
I’m 31. TWENTY THREE!!!
Oh, btw, I’m currently at my 10 year college reunion. When I graduated college these guys were probably freshman in highschool.
Anyway, *that’s* the drawback. I don’t really want to date guys that much younger than me. I don’t even want to just fuck them. I sometimes get emails from guys who are 20, 21, 22, around there, saying that they have a thing for older women. HELLO? I’m 31. I’m not an “older woman” yet. Yeah, I’m older than them. But not Older.
Actually, the drawback of looking younger isn’t that younger guys are the ones hitting on me, it’s that the guys my age and a few years older are not. Sometimes guys who are MUCH older than me hit on me, but that’s just kind of creepy. *Especially* since I know I look younger.
Yeah, that’s my complaint for the day.
I haven’t posted for a little while mainly because I have too many things I want to babble about and can’t seem to decide which to choose. I think I need a magic 8 ball.
