Age is nothing but a number...but is it? (July 21, 2009)

Just left the mall, shopping for my girl’s bachelorette party. Innocently shopping (examining the cutest screen teens with sayings like, ” Rawr means I love you in dinosaur” and ” I didn’t slap you I high-fived you in the face”), when approached by a 40+ year old security guard. He totally hit on me, and expects me to return to visit him at work tomorrow. Meanwhile, the cute guy in Target, who appears to be in the appropriate age range for me, just stares, smiles, and drools. Says absolutely nothing. Even when I walk by again. Twice. These seemingly unrelated events have got me pondering: what’s the deal with that?! Do older guys just have less to lose, more confidence, or have they just figured out that staring and drooling is not effective?

While on the topic of dating and relationships, I pose a second question: Is there an appropriate age range for someone? Is anyone TOO old? I won’t ask the reverse because legal standards say there is obviously such a thing as TOO young. According to my roommate, half one’s age plus 7 is the youngest anyone should date. Agree or disagree? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Don’t forget to take the dating poll…

Until next time…Ciao!
