I had some plumbing issues in my house on Friday and as none of my
friends were around for the weekend I decided to head to my parents'
yesterday morning for a night or two. (I couldn't cope without the
shower!)
I'll head back to Dublin at the crack of dawn tomorrow and stay with
my mate until my landlord fixes the problem.
Anyway, I went out last night, met the 29-year-old and spent the
night in his bed. No sex though. He was up for it but I turned him
down for the second time as I wasn't sure it was what I wanted.
Apparently he
didn't save my number
So it turns out that he didn't have my number. I gave it to him but
he didn't save it properly. Or so he said. Well, he's taken it again
and it's definitely saved this time.
And I've a feeling he's going to call – because I genuinely think
I'd prefer now if he didn't. That's always the way!
I had fun with him but I was thinking about it today and he is just
too young for me. I really fancy him physically, but mentally and
emotionally it's not happening. He seems like a nice guy, but he also
seems to be a bit of a messer.
Life is a party
to him
His favourite topics (ie only) are music and football. And it's like
life is just one big party to him. I get the impression he suffers
through Monday to Friday only to go utterly wild for the weekend.
I love a drink or two myself (as we all know!) but getting habitually
trashed at the end of every week is a bit repetitive and juvenile in
my opinion. He's 29 after all, not a student!
I'm sure there's more to him than meets my eye, but I'm not seeing
it. He and I are on different pages and whether that's the age gap or
not, who knows.
I realise he's only about six or seven years my junior – but it
feels as if there's a huge generation gap there. I've almost always
gone for older men in any case so I shouldn't be surprised by this I
suppose.
So cute and all as some of these younger blokes are, I think I'll
stick with my own age group and up from now on.
On the subject
of internet dating
And
on the subject of internet dating – I'm not against it as such. I
disagreed with the person who suggested to me that it was all
that
was left for us single ladies in our mid-30s though. It's not! It
can't be!
I've been a member of a dating site for a good while, however I've
not met up with anyone yet. But I might. I'm not ruling it out. I've
not been on it in ages come to think of it so I may log on now to see
if I've any suitors!
And on the
subject of the morning after asking for the number thingy
Oh and ta to Magnolea for letting me know that he took that girl's
number. Perhaps it is the protocol to “always ask for a girl's
number, even if it's just been a drunken random encounter, to at
least leave the person with some shred of dignity”.
Personally I would rather a guy didn't ask for mine if he hadn't a
notion of calling (yep, it's happened to me more than once!).
Sure, the goodbye bit in the morning is cringe and sleazy when it's
not asked for – but I'd still prefer to know that he was never ever
going to phone instead of waiting and waiting in vain! But that's
just me.
I do approve of the fact that Magnolea would never go off with
someone who wasn't at least worth a second look!
