I've just got back to Dublin after spending the last few days in my parents' house down the country. And I'm only exhausted after my shenanigans.

I seem to have developed a penchant for slightly younger men. After hooking up with that 28-year-old a few weeks back, I hooked up with a 29-year-old on Saturday night! Honest to God I did!

I met him in the local late bar, where half the town (including Ex Man) was celebrating the long weekend in, em, style – albeit rather drunken style.

It was a bit like a meat market actually but I guess nobody cares too much at that hour of the early morning.

He who was 29 caught my attention immediately

Anyway, EM was out of his brains as usual and after chatting briefly to him, I went off to join my friends. I had just gotten a drink when along came the 29-year-old, who caught my attention immediately.

He was one of those tall and lean types, with dark hair that was not long, but not cut really short either. And he had that slightly dishevelled look that I always find to be very sexy. (Clean cut generally does nothing for me.)

I was busy noting to myself how attractive he was and it turned out the feeling was mutual 'cause he made a beeline for me, according to my friend who was observing everything beside us.

I actually didn't think I was in the mood

But you know, as alluring and all as he was, I didn't think I was in the mood for being chatted up. I'm in the midst of moving on from the whole Old Flame experience and I simply wanted a night on the town with my mates.

So I was polite to him and all that, while not going as far as giving him any sort of positive signal. Until I realised he was really funny and entertaining. And the next thing I knew I was flirting back.

When it came to closing time he asked me if he could walk me home and I said OK, even though I live so near the pub that it's hardly even a walk.

We kissed and I invited him in

When we got to my front door we kissed! It was so nice that I asked him in “for coffee” and we kissed some more in the living room.

And that's all we did. He was the perfect gentlemen I must say – there was none of that alcohol-fuelled fumbling that is so typical in such a situation!

He left at 4am and I went to bed smiling, then woke up smiling and I was still smiling when my mother casually asked me over breakfast who I'd brought home with me the night before.

It was a bit like being a teenager again only now I can't get in trouble for anything I get up to as I'm too old!

It is what it is and I'm happy with that

We exchanged numbers although it's a bit pointless as I live in Dublin and he doesn't. But what the hell, I'm happy it happened anyway.

It was a bit of clean, sweet and innocent fun and it absolutely lifted my spirits. I mean, it's not every day I get to lock lips with a charming and sexy younger man who is not expecting to get laid on the spot!

Plus it's good for both me and my ego to know that I can pull someone so good looking who is six years my junior to boot!

  • Oct-30 - MagnoleaI never said all men are into 'schoolgirls with pigtails', I just said all the men I know. Sbowqueen, I think you make the fatal mistake of believing a lot of what you hear men say because you assume they're always telling you the truth, including your husband. There may well be a lot of men out there who aren't turned on by the idea of an attractive woman dressing up in a school uniform, but as I say, I've yet to meet one. And I would be confident enough to say that whatever man told you he's not into it, is probably smart enough to realise that you would disapprove if you said he did! As for creepy...wha? Look I don't think there's many men would really care that much if a woman they're into dressed up like Hannibal Lecter, the male brain immediately turns to thoughts of removing every stitch of clothing anyway. and believe me, I'm more than happy to indulge anyone who has a different opinion to me - there wouldn't be much point in doing this if we all agreed with each other all the time now would it? That would be kind of creepy I think - and very, very boring. Happy Hallowe'en!
  • Oct-28 - MagnoleaHate to rain on this parade slightly but I have to mention that as a single bloke who's near enough in age to Kitten, my experience over the last 18 months is that women in their 30's are SO obsessed with age, it's one of the first q's you get asked when trying to chat them up...what is with that? I know a lot of guy in their 30's now who just run out the door if they find a woman their interested in is in her 30's because they all seem to be nuts, in that really panicky 'last chance saloon' frame of mind and jump straight into the heavy questions: first, age, then in a roundabout way, enquiring about your 'prospects' while cunningly trying to disguise the q's in a way that makes it seem like they aren't. Divorcees in their 40s and 20's chicks are a lot easier and more fun to play with, apparently. I use the phrase apparently 'cos I haven't gone the 40's route myself... yet.
