When dating you set up perimeters for your self. What physically are you willing to allow or are deal breakers? What is your age bracket for someone to be an appropriate candidate? I am not talking about just someone you are going to pork and bail on. Someone that you would date, bring out with the friends, introduce to the parent(s). 99% of the time you can call them like you see them. Too old, fat, bald, skinny, young; vanity at its finest. What happens when you flirt, get your way and make the connection then find out you miss guessed? It is usually when you over guess their age by a year or two and then you cave in. What happens when you under-guess their age by almost 20 years? At first I think hey at least he looks young? 20 years... OK so in actuality it was only 18 years I was off by. He is in his 40's. There is a 13 year different. His favorite band was formed in 1968, 5 years before my mom graduated high school, and one year before he was born.
At first it was fine, who doesn't like a good classic rock band? Then I found out he has lost a parent. How sad to lose a parent so young? Wait he lost his parent at 40? My Grandfather died when my mom was 36 and her older bro was 42. That is not really that young to lose a parent but sad none the less. He was 13 when I was born. My mom was in labor and he was pulling his own chain. Back to the old adage, whats in an age?
