for the last 4 days i have been thinking of this new article and what to say. then i realized, 10 years ago when i was 50 i did date a woman 16 years younger than me, she was 34 with 2 sons. i found her on Love@aol. i did see her picture and but i didn't know how old she was, (i am no good at guessing a 30-40 year old womans age) it didn't come up till later then i was concerned. my female friends online told me if we got along, great, go for it, so i did and it lasted 10 months. when we split up, she told me she was recently divorced by 2 months when we met and not ready for a comittment. then 9 years later i find another lady in a romance 40's chat room. i checked her profile and i liked what i saw then sent her an email stating nice car for i had a 86 Pontiac Trans Am sports car. we continued sending emails back and forth and we had alot in common. i never asked her age for i assumed she was at least 40-50 since in the chat room. then she stated she had boys, ages 10 thru 18, ok. i kept asking her questions about what she liked, what food she liked, perfume, size she wears since she is 5'7 and 125 pounds for i was very interested in her. then thinking i would like to send her a birthday card when that day comes so i asked for her birthday and was shocked when she told me, she was 34. i thought no way, you have an 18 year old then she told me they are her brother sons, he died, she is raising them, plus she lost her son from her marriage to cancer at a young age. at the time it didn't stop me from learning more about her, i figured there is no way she would go for a man 25 years older than her. from the very beginning she told me she was a TRUST FUND BRAT, i thought, ok, so you have money and she told me that her dad and gramps set her up so she would never need a man for security. she would never have to worry then she could marry someday for LOVE. she told me how men always tried to change her, i thought WHY? your fine as you are. then i fell in love with this woman, cupid hit me with his arrow. i couldn't sleep, eat or anything then when i saw her online, i had butterflies in my stomach. i kept this to myself never telling her how i felt, never thinking she would even consider me. then one day out of the blue, she asked for a LOVE LETTER FROM MY HEART. i wondered how i slipped up? how did she know? i thought i was careful. so i wrote her a love letter from my heart, well, that wasn't what she wanted, but she knew how i felt now, i let the cat out of the bag. then as time went on, i wondered what could i ever give this woman that she doesn't have or could buy? so one day i told her she needs a daughter, a little blonde to follow her around. her response back to me caught me off guard. we were to meet 2 times but it didn't happen for unknown reasons, i thought she got "cold feet", i am patient though. then as i thought about it, i realized we were friends online and what "IF", we met, became good friends, then partners, mates and the last step, lovers? out of love, a little girl, hopefully would be created and we could raise her together and she would get spoiled. then i added 18 to her age and mine. she would see her graduate from high school but i doubt i would. then without talking to her, i just backed off, deleting my screen name thinking this is best, she would find someone closer to her age and they could grow old together. in these last 4 days with me thinking, i was selfish, i could have had something beautiful but i messed up. life throws at us a lot of curves, we just have to adjust and we could get killed walking across the street and we would still miss the other. why not shoot for the moon, go for broke and enjoy each others company for as long as we are on this earth? with me being 61 and she being 36. i never meant to fall in love with her, it just happened. if she could only read this article, i would ask forgiveness and my deepest apology and see if we could start over since i screwed up. for those 5 days i deleted my screen name, i missed her terribly and went back and got my name back, only to feel i am getting the cold shoulder which i deserve.
as far as regaining my youth in dating a younger women? no, never thought about that. if i date a younger woman it is because i didn't know how old she was at the time plus we must have been attracted to each other.
i prefer to date a younger woman at least 8 years younger than me for they are smarter mentally then us men, but i do look for a woman in her 40's. i met my moms friends in her retirement village in Texas, they were in their 50's, husbands 65 and older. the women wanted nothing to do with SEX, told their husbands, kids grown and gone and no need for that anymore. didn't want anything to do with it at all. so yes, i look for a younger woman than 50. last, i am BALD, been since i was 24, on both sides of my parents family, all the men were bald plus getting caught in the rain in Marine Corps with a starched cover on didn't help, hair fell out in bunches then.
after 40, we still make mistakes as i have, i was married, made my mistakes their also, my sons are grown and gone, well one is, other still pays me visits, did the bar scene, got drunk many many times, had the hangovers but never the threesome, one on one, i do not share very well and one woman is enough.
will i marry for material things,NO
this time it will be for all the right reasons---LOVE
