So my sister calls me up yesterday and tells me about a guy she waited on at Bonefish Grill. He is a congressional candidate for California. He's cute she says, AND he doesn't have a wedding ring on. Why he was in Murfreesboro, TN I have no idea, but Laura seemed to think I would be interested in him. Of course my first question was, "is he a republican or a democrat?"
I talked to Laura again today and so while on the phone with her I looked up the candidate online since she knew his name. This is what I saw. He's OLD I said! (38 to be exact!) "What ever made you think I would be interested in him?" (this is of course diregarding the fact that the guy lives in California and I have zero chance of ever bumping into him ever)
Funny enough, the GOP nominee also has a site here on blogger.
10 minutes elapse, and Laura calls me back. After browsing Mr. Hankwitz's site she has found a picture captioned of him and "his partner." "I think he might be gay," Laura said. No wonder he didn't have a wedding ring! Sure enough, I hopped back over to the site and noticed a picture of him and another guy at a "Pride Rally." Nothing against Mr. Hankwitz, and I wish him luck in his congressional race, but isn't it typical that once again I am attempting to date men who only like other men? (I say let's focus on the straight clientel who live in Tennessee the next time they frequent your eating establishment Laura. "Yeaaahhhh... that'd be greaaaaat")

In the haunting words of my friend Marcus, "There are good guys in Nashville---and they're all at the gay bars."
Tread lightly with your "old" comments... tread very lightly...

Sorry to offend any in the senior citizen generation, but 10 years older than me is about my limit. (And that's IF the man is straight and lives in my state)
:o)
No offense taken... :)
Just wanted to make sure that 35 wasn't filed away in the "unable to be considered" range...
:)
Good times...

Nice to have you back in the blogging world... let's try to keep it frosty, shall we?

yes... 38 is SO much older than 36.

LOL---Ari, I thought it, but you said it!
Brrrrrrrring! Brrrrrrring!
Hello, this is Pot. Can I speak to Kettle?
all I'm sayin is for ME, 10 years is the limit. period. been there, done that, still writing the novel.
Ariana - you took the words right out of my mouth. 2 years is nothing. NOTHING!!!! For serious. You haven't 'been there, done that' with all 36 - 38 year olds. Right??

hmm, it would seem that I need to do a post about age limits in dating. 10 years is a rule for me, but I accept that rules are made to be broken. That said, if you don't have a rule in place, a limit set for yourself, then what's to say what's right for you? "Everything is permissable but not everything is beneficial" You need to have standards for yourself, otherwise how do you know what you are looking for, or what qualities are important enough to you to not bend on, and which ones are?
What if he's 75 and can be my "sugar daddy?"
I'm JUST sayin'...
