Okay, fucking creepy. If ya'll wonder why I wear baggy clothes and no makeup and don't really care if I gain weight, today's escapade should pretty much tell ya
( Read more... )
Oh yeah, he's definitely creepy, and I'm glad that you made a point of heading towards people. Definite stalkerish behavior.
And then he keeps going with, "How old are you," and "You're pretty cute," and "Are you single?" (my responses: 24, thanks, I'm moving to China. My thoughts: too young for you, no shit, and not single enough to date you)
You know... that response has always bugged me just a little bit. Maybe it's because I have trouble relating to (and quite possibly finding attractive) people who are my age. I saw one personals ad that stated, "I won't date anyone old enough to be my father, so no one over 35." The woman placing the personals ad was 25, and all I could think was, "Lady, if you believe that someone who could have fathered you at 10 is normal, you have a lot more problems than I can even begin to address."
So... just a sidenote, but yeah... definitely a creepy guy. Go buy some mace, and an attack dog.
Finding some place with people outside was the only thing I could think to do, and it was a crapshoot since I really do live in the middle of nowhere. I'm glad I did.
On the other subject... twenty years my senior really is too old for me. The key here is "for me" -- it's a preference like any other, even though I routinely date out of the normal age range of other girls my age. I think it tends to be more of a problem for girls than for guys -- I've had a real problem with getting followed and/or hit on by guys in their fifties, sixties, and even a few times, in their seventies, and at some point one needs to understand that you have to be more polite and/or gracious if you want to hit on someone that's vastly younger than you are.
I don't think limiting my potential interests to guys between 25 and 35 is all that unreasonable for someone my age. If that's inappropriate to you, that's fine, but I'm entitled to my preferences.
Oh yeah, I definitely don't think that's out of line, and I certainly wasn't attacking that either. Didn't want you to get the impression that I was giving you shit. :)
I guess for me, it ends up being less about actual age and more about maturity and commonalities, and for the most part, a large number of the people around my actual age don't even begin to have the same interests. There are exceptions, to be sure, but they certainly are the exception and not the rule.
And along the same thought, I've also had people who are my "age" tell me that I should grow up...which I really take exception to. I just really don't have a desire to conform, just for the sake of conforming, which I really don't think has anything to do with age.

YMMV.
