On Dating Younger Men

I've always believed that people should date anyone they want as long as they are both consenting adults or teenagers for that matter. Personally, I've never been one to go for the younger guys since I was in high school. I guess I'm not different like from other women who always found that boys their own age just weren't cutting it. Which ironically makes me old-fashioned I guess. So in essence, the latter part of high school was spent messing around with the college guys and my university days were spent dating men in their late 20s and 30s. I just found that I had more in common with the older crop and I never felt like I was losing out on my youth or anything. So it goes without sayin that I got used to dating around dinner, live music, out of town trips etc.

Recently, I had an emotional fall-out with such an older guy and its led me to re-evaluate just what type of men I've been picking. As you may recall from the older blogs, I vowed to change my habits and become more open to new experience. As it so happens, a friend of mine who I've known for the past year, manned up, stepped up his game and asked me out. I was skeptical because I never did look at him as nothing more than a friend. It also turns out that he's 3 years younger and while that may not seem like a big deal to some people, it marks a detour for me. Once I stopped being overly dramatic and analytical about it all, I actually allowed myself to just go with the flow and have some fun. And that's another thing. I'm finding that these younger men may just be a whole lot of fun. He convinced me to go "Go-Kart Racing" and i've got the bruises to prove it. He doesn't take himself too seriously and hardly has an itinerary. I think this might just be what I need to get out of my own head for awhile...
