Refreshing?

I went on what I will call my first 100% “grown-up” date.  Or maybe I should say I went on my first date with a 100% grown-up?  Either way, now that I know what I can have, I’m not going back. 

I went on a date with a 35 year old man.  It was much different than going on a date with a 25 year old or even a 30 year old man.  He came to my neighborhood, he picked me up at my apartment, and he took me to a nice restaurant.  He also paid- no questions asked.  In fact, he took care of the bill while I was in the bathroom, so I didn’t have to deal with it at all.  Then, he walked me home, asked to see me again, and *didn’t* try to molest me on my doorstep.

While we were at dinner, he made clear the things that are important to him in a relationship and the person he’s with.  He brought it up.  I didn’t ask.  He just offered the information.  At first, I was a little alarmed.  I was thinking “Ok, Buddy, this is the first date.  Let’s see if we can maintain a conversation while we aren’t at a loud dance party first.”

But then I realized something.  This is how grown-up men that want to be in a relationship behave.  They make their intentions clear from the beginning.  No point in wasting either of our time.

So, there it is.  I finally went on a date with a real, live, mature adult male.  They do exist after all.  I am happy that I confirmed this.  I was getting a little worried.
