souvlaki Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I'm late twenties and divide my time between finishing up my studies or working at a bookstore cafe part time. One of my coworkers is this REALLY cute guy who is probably no older than 19. When he first started working there, I thought he might be sort of flirting with me -- heavy eye contact -- but thought I might be imagining it since he's so much younger. Today he popped in the cafe to get some coffee and asked me what I was doing on Friday night. I was flustered and said I didn't really have plans. There were also a bunch of customers in line, so my attention was divided. Then he said that I should come to this show with him and his friend. I didn't give him a clear answer, because a customer interrupted us. Now I'm a bit torn. I don't have any plans on Friday night. He's hot and seems cool. But he's freakin' 19. He probably assumes I'm around his age. So I know there's no relationship potential there, and I'm not exactly interested in a random screw. But maybe it would be fun to make out with him. *shrugs* Also, I don't have any plans on Friday night, so it'd be something to do. And....I could probably meet some other cool people through him. Eh. Is this just a retarded idea because of his age?>
Knittress Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 How strong are your tendencies to become attached to people? If you're both capable of being on the 'friendly fun' page, then why not? If you're prone to bouts of romanticism despite all attempts not to fall for inappropriate partners... then, no.
Cee Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Why not? I'm friends with a guy who is 17 years younger than me who I met in my social group. He flirts a bit, but it's innocent and he's also a loyal friend. I get invited to a lot of music events and parties & I've met new people through him. At first, I felt like a creeper, but he knows my age (40) & isn't offended by it. It takes getting used to hanging out with people of different ages, but it's a good way to stay youthful. There's a woman in the techno scene nicknamed "techno grandma." (Google her- she's famous). She must be in her 70s and she makes music and hits all the big electronic music festivals. I saw her in Detroit in June & she was swarmed by fans. Truth is we gotta do what we love, no matter what our age. I say go to the concert and have fun.
Ariadne Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 One of my coworkers is this REALLY cute guy...asked me what I was doing on Friday...maybe it would be fun to make out with him. *shrugs* Another guy so fast? The appetite. But like the previous poster said: If you're both capable of being on the 'friendly fun' page, then why not?
OceanGirl Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 hey hey - I am most likely going on a date with this hot 25 year old (same age difference). He is not too bright and there is zero relationship potential. But he is light and fun and that's what I think I need right now.

She hasn't posted it here, but given what you said and the assumption you're clearly making, that would put her at 26-27. Just like Shadowplay. Very interesting.
Citizen Erased Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 If that is shadow, I have to respectfully say STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THESE YOUNGER GUYS.They're far too immature for someone like you and they aren't likely to give the same level of commitment that you want. If it's not shadow, pretty much the same.
Titania22 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Is this just a retarded idea because of his age?> No, it's just an experience. You'll either enjoy the night out or you won't. Either way you will learn something about yourself.

If it's not shadow, pretty much the same. It is Shadow. So yes, your advice fits.
