Week 4: From May to December.............

As of last night I have 95 dates to go and if you are paying any attention to that cute little ticker at the bottom of my posts...I only have 3 months, 4 weeks and 1 day left..which means to 118 days to go out on 95 dates!!! Yikes...looks like it's time to ramp it and double book em'!

So back on track to Date #5 which was last evening....ahhh...well, I will first begin by saying that I needed to consult with a few resources in order to find the appropriate terminology if you will for my date last night. Appropriate terminology for my date you ask?? What's she talking about?? Date #5 was a little older than me.....ok..let's be honest he was significantly older than me but age is just a number right? Let's just say that if a Cougar represents an older woman dating a younger man then Date #5 would be considered a 'Tom Cat' and No I'm not referring to Cruise and Holmes although the age gap that they share is a little comparable. So think I'm going to refer to Date #5 as Mr. December....(just call me "May" and he is "December"....are you following??).

I actually met Mr. December through yet another dating site....eharmful..oop's..I meant eHarmony. I initially shrugged off Mr. December's advances as I did feel he was just a wee too long in the tooth for me. While I have dated men in the past that were older than me...in some cases up to 10 years, I just didn't think that Mr. December and I would connect and want the same things out of life due to the significant age gap (keep guessing about that gap because I'm NOT telling!). Well I can say one thing about older men....they are persistent and just won't take no for an answer so after much prodding and having the ability to really make me laugh I conceded and decided to go out with Mr. December.

So I met up with Mr. December on his turf in a cute little beachy town that seemed miles away from where I live even though it only took me about 15 minutes to get there. He was extremely chivalrous and met me outside as I drove up and ushered me to the valet parking lot and paid the parking attendant (Not too shabby eh?). We sat at the bar at one of his favorite haunts where everybody knows his name where he regaled me with hilarious stories of his dating past. So far so good...cocktails, dating stories and most importantly he pursued me with the vigor and drive of a fat kid eating at a dessert buffet. I actually found myself laughing, smiling, and very intrigued by Mr. December's advances and oh so straight forward delivery. Is it me or does it seem like there are only two stages in life when men are able to really let you know how they feel and what they want in life....when they first start learning how to speak ('Mommy I want my bottle, I'm hungry, or I have to go poddy') and when they need to re-learn how to speak because of the new accoutrement's in their mouth's....are you seeing the parallels here??

Overall Mr. December was witty, interesting, funny, direct, and nice company but I must be honest that I'm just not so sure about the age gap. BUT! Before I officially become an ageist I will have another date with Mr. December...in fact stay tuned as we are meeting up next week :0)!

Now I realize that I was a little lax this week on choosing a new Buru to follow this week but don't worry...I just picked a new advisor and the name of the tome is "Good Date, Bad Date...The Matchmaker's Guide to Where the Boys Are and How to Get Them" by Marla Martenson.

Stay tuned...........................
