I dealt with the "Age Bitch" today.... I'm 45, she's 54. I wanted to drop this email string...
Me: If you're real; I'm interested.
Her: I'm real. Your profile is very different. I liked reading it.
Me: Your pics caught my eye. Your words thus far have kept my interest. You're a doll.
Her: You had an ex wanting a ring in 6 weeks? Thats nuts! I just want friendship.
me: "Friends" at the onset - works. Not defining it works much better. We should just know if there's something there under the surface. Friends? I agree.... BUT - You'd (potentially) be a friend I would want to kiss - often - and that would have to be addressed at some point as well.
Her: Well if kisses r involed and we like each other then there would be feelings involved .....So indeed i'd have to decilne on that until I'd feel like it was going some where and u r 10 yrs to my Junior.
Me: Age? I never even considered it a factor. You're an attractive lady. I've never worried about age. I rely on chemistry. I'm educated, intelligent, stable and very direct. I've had the life experiences of serving my country, making a living from a professional sport for 5 years, and being a successful small business owner - but none of that denotes maturity. I'm capable of in-depth conversation with groups of people 30 years older than myself moreso than those 30 years younger. Age is nothing but a measure of time. If chemistry and compatability are prioiritized moreso than numbers, it would never be brought up, by myself or anyone we'd meet. To be blunt - it's not that big-a-deal, at all. I'm deeper than that.
My attraction and desire for a woman holds more weight in my eyes than our respective birthdays. But, you're a beautiful lady; I'm sure you'll find what you're seeking.
Her: That was kinda rude
Me: Re-read it. Please point out any comment that was rude in nature.
Her: Ive known a lot of men and not one has ever talked to me like that and they dont even know me!
Me: They all should have. I simply told you the truth, and won't apologize for that. As for knowing a lot of men...every relationship you have had with a man has failed. Every one, or you'd be with him now. Maybe you NEED someone different. What's the definition of insanity?
Her: Ok so let's start this friendship. im sorry. If not anything else we can at the least see what the future has for us after we meet and spend time together.
